I went there on Sunday evening with my family. The atmosphere and general appearance of the restaurant was inviting. My friend and I ordered the chicken sorrentino. When our food arrived we were disappointed to see we did not get homemade pasta as indicated on the menu but instead received angel hair pasta. No big deal... once we began eating, the amount of grease that slowly oozed from the food onto our plates was disgusting! I had to put my napkin under one side of my plate to allow the grease to run away from the food. We asked the waitress who was rather robotic why there was so much oil and she said the sauce was made with cream. She them told us if we ordered this again to tell the waitress we dont want butter in it?! That doesnt make any sense! This was a tomato sauce. Butter? Cream? After eating some of the grease ball dinner I felt like I had eaten a lava lamp! We took the leftovers home and when we looked again, there was another load of grease that had drained out of the food! All the leftovers went to the dog. I just hope all that grease doesnt give him diarrhea. The two grease laden dinners cost me $50 that Ill never get back. The other dinners ordered by our party were ok but nothing to write home about. We wont be going back there ever again and when we want to enjoy good decent Italian food well be going to Pats Italian restaurant in Johnston RI

A well appointed restaurant, cozy and inviting, but what good is decor when the food is sub par? Service was a bit TOO ATTENTIVE as our waitier came by constantly to ask how the food was and rushed us through courses. Restaurant on a Wednesday night was mostly empty. First course salad was hardly eaten when main course arrived. Ordered the Spaghetti Amatriciana, which was tasteless and the plate filled with oil. Pasta was over cooked and limp, Pancetta was used instead of Guanciale, no red pepper flavor, no flavor at all...salad was ice cold and lacking of any appeal, looks like it was thrown on the plate with no consideration. Large thick slices of onion and one cucumber slice. After dinner we ordered a "digestivo" of limoncello which was good, but not worth $7.00 each...a very disappointing evening. Will not return.

The service and atmosphere were great but the food was sub par for the price. My boyfriend and I ate the calamari for an appetizer, but it tasted generic and like it was from a bag. They served us stale bread. The only reason I was able to eat the bread was because the dipping sauce was good (balsamic vinegar with olive oil and red pepper flakes). My boyfriend had the lemon chicken with fettuccine and it was okay, but too lemony and nothing out of the ordinary. I had the veal and sausage bolognese and it was the best part of the meal, but still not worth the money.

Went with some friends Saturday night for the first time. The food was excellent, place was packed, (which is a good sign). Ive read some of the negative reviews and all I can say is give it another chance. Ive been to upscale restaurants and not been impressed, but Ive learn that even the best of the best out there will falter even though theyre trying not to let that happen. It just happens. Will definitely go back

We won a gift card from a local raffle. To keep it simple, we ordered veal parm and chicken parm. I always like to test new restaurants by trying their classics. This was good not great, Italian food. The chicken was underseasoned and the pasta was slightly watery. It was better than Olive Garden though. So go here instead of there. Keep it local.

This used to be the old union station but was renovated and turned into an Italian eatery. Food and dessert are flavorful, drinks are also good. Outdoor patio is nice. The wait staff are a little annoying due to that they read you pretty much the entire menu. Other than that the place is great.

Great drinks, I had the steak and oh boy was it good. I have been here 2 times now. I definitely plan to come back, waitstaff were polite and felt like a higher end dining experience. Prices could be less(being in Attleboro, people cant afford too much). Ill be back.

Bartender asked me to cash out when we hadnt even gotten our meal yet because of shift change, so the next bartender took care of our meals and we had to tip 2 times. Food was great but service left a bad taste in my mouth.

Ive had many excellent meals here but I have had some bad dining experiences. Waiting 35-40 minutes after finishing appetizers for entrees to come out of the kitchen isnt fun.

Consistently good food and service. It feels upscale without being pretentious. And you can still get a decent burger.

Terrible. The sauce that was on my chicken tasted like a combo of ragu jar sauce and ketchup.
