Great and wonderfully made Italian fare! Their food is amazing, highly recommend their Calamari Fritté and Raviolis. The dining room and bar area are very neat and stylish looking. Would be giving them five stars if it wasn’t for the lack of care in their other common areas; restrooms were beaten up and not clean looking nor the service was to the standards of their great food, even tho it was an slow night (4 of July) they was a pile of employees just standing near the host stand, that could for example have gotten restrooms looking as good as the front. Our waiter even tho was very nice and warm, needed to level up on knowing his menus and upselling/suggesting options to enhance our visit. Overall a great restaurant that only seems to need to strong-up their management and direction, we’ll try them again soon!

I found this strange but okay, I just rolled with it. I asked the front-of-the-house staff where the restrooms were and they told me and let me know that a code was required to gain entry into the restroom. Not crazy but a little strange. After a day of meetings and finally, I get to relax I have to memorize a 6-digit code. After a number of attempts to use the code I fail. At this point, I really have to go but I feel silly going back to the staff to ask for the code again. i do so and then another front-of-the-house staff jumps in an
