I had a reservation for Sunday at 7:45 PM. The restaurants were quite full but not too much and seemed understaffed. We were greeted without being shown to our table, being told, "That's the table for two over there." I went back to ask her to change seats, and she replied rather rudely that if I wanted it, I'd have to wait because she had to clean it again, but she was going to do something else... We left after 15 minutes without any service.

It was ok. Flavors were bland and missing some spice palates. Under cooked pizza and unseasoned pasta dishes. Cold and dark interior made for an unpleasant atmosphere. Service was slow as they were understaffed. The hostess did what she could to take orders, make drinks, seat customers. No manager or owner was present but certainly should have been ! Bartender wasn't much help with anything. They did have one younger gentleman delivering food to tables who was helpful. There was no sign of a manager or owner , but there should have been someone to make this mess.
