We made a reservation for 8 and stated a Birthday. When we arrived - no one was ready for us - no table ready, no signers as stated, etc. We ordered wine in a bottle because they were out of wines by the glass.? The waiter brought the bottle over and didnt open it for about 15 minutes and never poured the win just handed us the bottle. We ordered Mineral Water and same thing - they gave us the bottle that you cannot open without a bottle opener. WE all ordered food - some people received their Pizza which was doughy and under cooked. The rest of us just sat there. When we asked if the fish was fresh - we were told it has been defrosting this afternoon. By the time others got their food - the pizza ordering people were done. Another person never received their pizza and we were told they had to re cook it. It was served after we were all done and not cooked enough either (they should have not charged for it.) The service was so bad, untrained staff, confused, slow - to tope it off they charged us 18% tip when the website says 18% tip for party of 10 or more. No one around to tell these things to because they were busy singing off the Apple Computer. We called to tell the restaurant about this and they dont answer the phone. Very sad that this was so bad. It would be so nice to have a neighborhood restaurant to go to.

Opened about 2.5 months ago. OK lets start with the obvious ... Wellness Center, just because you sell some mystical rocks and have a meditation room doesnt make it so. But I guess when you own something you can call it what you want. I think this confuses a lot people and they dont know its a restaurant. The staff was very friendly. The place is nice and neat and sometimes have live music. The food is where it gets interesting. The only thing I ate that made me cringe was the pistachio cannoli. The pizzas and pastas were OK nothing special. The chicken in the chicken parmigiana was nice and juicy, but the breading was bland and the sauce didnt have that Italian kick of taste and I hate to say it almost tasted fresh from a can. The chocolate mousse and the tiramassu were pretty good. The concensus from everyone at the table was that the food was OK but not for that price. I hope these are just growing pains they can get through. Update: Gave this place another try. Same thing. Food is OK not great. It doesnt taste like it is fresh or scratch made, but rather tastes like anything you can buy from the market. The Christmas light decorations are a bit strange to put it nicely. Is the lowered the price about $5 - $8 a plate it would be worth it.

This place is close to our house so we decided to try it out. We arrived around 6pm on a Friday night and had no problem being seated right away. There were only a couple of other cars in the parking lot. Upon arriving the ambiance seemed different, not much of it says "Italian" to me. The psychic right inside the entrance took me by surprise and just didnt seem to fit at all. We sat in the patio and the decor seemed lazily put together and didnt seem to say "Italian" at all. In fact, there really wasnt any consistency at all with the decor. The table we were seated at had spider webs hanging from it (granted we were sitting in the patio area) but still not what Id like to see at my dinner table. The server was very attentive and nice, although I dont think she ever gave us her name. The food was very good, flavorful and fresh and although probably appropriate serving sizes, the portions did seem small especially for the price. I wouldnt say that we wouldnt return there some day but it likely wont be one of our first choices for Italian cuisine in the future.

Zero stars is more appropriate. Made a reservation and waited for over a half hour after being seated and a waiter never came to our table. I have two small children and the place wasnt even close to being busy. A waitress kept looking at our table, but never stopped by. We left and had a real family dinner somewhere else. Avoid this place.

They are trying. The average cost per dish is $17.00 salads are extra. I had spaghetti for 17.00 it was ok, not great, just OK. I went with a group and no one were really excited about it. The owner was very personable and accommodating, he has a karaoke machine and sang. The wait staff also sings. This was nice.

We took the whole acting group from after their performance at Hale to a wrap party there and it was pure love and community! Food great, service great and the kids sang and danced. The atmosphere was warm and inviting.
