Seated quickly. Food great. Soup great. Drink... Too sugary. Not gonna order the spiked lemonade again. Service was aggressively efficient. Efficient good. Aggressively efficient... less good. Almost like they were on 1.5x working speed. Shrimp Scampi, minestrone soup, spiked lemonade, BREAD STICKS.

Our server tonight was a very polite young woman named Lilly. She was absolutely amazing. Top shelf service. Top shelf attitude. Even working on the fourth of July didn't seem to dampen her mood.

We went here craving Italian food and knowing it would be consistent. It’s hard to find consistent Italian food sometimes. They were friendly, it was clean, and our server Jonah was awesome. He really made it a great meal out!
