This is a nice casual Italian restaurant to go to. We started with the arancini and pesto bruschetta. The bruschetta was really good! I had the Fettuccine Carticcio, which was supposed to be spicy, but was not. The seafood was cooked well, but the red sauce was a little bland and needed that spice it was missing. My friends had the "white pizza" and loved it. Another friend had one of the specials that had seafood and rigatoni with a pesto/cheese sauce (very mild pesto flavor) and enjoyed it. Then for desert we had the limoncello cake and tiramisu. Overall it was a good dinner, but with only one server and two helpers, service took a long time and was not the best it could have been.
This place is super cute, has mostly outdoor seating with a net surrounding it; so no bugs. I got the banana nutella crepe which looked super good when I got it and couldnt wait to eat it when I got home. The servers that were there were super nice to me when I walked in. Took my order fast and got it out fast. The only thing is that the crepe was $9 which I didn't expect it to be that much, but the taste makes it worth it.
I ordered a Filet mignon and this is what I got yesterday after waiting 45 minutes. It was an inferior cut of meat to begin with and then it was not prepared as I asked, Medium. Instead it was a well done hard to chew piece of meat. Lack any flavour. One if my friends ordered also a filet mignon and hers had a filet mignon cut, but it was also overcooked. My other friend ordered a lamb osso buco and was overcooked and risotto was drowned in brown sauce. His risotto arrived 10 minutes later all the meals were served. In regards to my filet mignon I felt that you were assuming I didn't know about cuts and you wanted to get rid of a piece of meat that was there. Not going to this place anymore and will not recommend. Maybe new cookers, new waiters and waitress but definitely bad service so far.
