One the service is way off. It took awhile to eat and the bar was off also .Also some one in who owns a house and said the valets are blocking there drive way. The food was good .I will have to wait until they work there kinks out to go back .

I did not have any problems with the service the waitress took my order and one of the young men brought us our apps & main course. the only bad thing was the twistes rolls that I thought were garlic knots but werent were hard as rocks the olive bread was good. I will be back again no doubt Sun Sep 13 00:35:12 -0700 2009 5024076 154963 howster 3 5044473 I happen to live a few blocks from this place. i am going to give it another try . Sun Sep 20 16:13:19 -0700 2009 5025854 11512 FAL 4 5046059 I think u should I dont live far from there and I will be back I think the prices r good and i enjoyed my meal. I have also gotten their take out ( had it delivered) pizza 2x's and another time we had their heros I thought the heros were a little small but tasty. Let me know if you go back and if it was better for you Mon Sep 21 09:42:47 -0700 2009 5044473 154963 howster 5 5061536 I can walk there thats how close I am . Went back. I had the octopus, was ok a little rubbery for my taste. Wine was ok. I wish they had a better selection . Waiter we had was much better . Put it took a while for 3 bowls of pasta to come out . Again the waiter gave us drinks. We did put up a fuss either. Stil itis the same old Italian- American food. They need a better menu. Sun Sep 27 08:09:28 -0700 2009 5046059 11512 FAL 6 5063862 I went back Saturday night @ 6:00pm it was packed they asked if I had reservations I said no they said about a 1/2 hr wait we stayed waited about 20 min we got a table. 2 of us had the zuppa di pesce I thought it was excelent again (my 2nd time having it) wife had penne ala vodka was good my friends wife had the fettuccini alfredo that was good to wasnt heavy our waiter was good also but the thing I dont like both times there we did not drink alchohol beverages so it seems the waiter takes our orders and we dont see him again unless we flag him down another thing I like to order the apps 1st then order my main course I dont like to b rushed the other couple we were with ordered apps and main course so we all did we just barley finished with the apps and the main course was on the table. I know thwe place was packed and their was a line going out the door waiting for tables but no need to rush us and most of all their was no reason not to come by to c how things were I think I am a good tipper but to get a good tip u must be a good server also just cause we dont drink doesnt mean u dont stop by the table to c how thing were.. He didnt even bring us our meals I think it was th owner and a bus boy that brought it to the table... But I do like the place and the food has been good so far and I think the prices are great to if they stay as buisy as they were on Saturday I am sure the prices will go up in a coulpe of months like everywhere else. I cant walk their I live in Maspeth orff of 69th st not far from rsas pizza (then again if the weather is nice I probaly could walk it but Im to lazy to do so LOL) If you go back I hope you enjoy it Mon Sep 28 09:00:30 -0700 2009 5061536 154963 howster 7 5064718 I Live right by JV park . it is a 3 block walk for me. Listen , I was just looking for more regional stuff then the usual Italian American fare. Uva Rara is puuting out some good dishes. This place should also . The La Bella is doiing you can get anywhere . Barrosa is another place that comes to mind. Mon Sep 28 13:24:28 -0700 2009 5063862 11512 FAL 1 5150944 I live nearby and was going to give it another try. Again, when I heard the ridiculously loud music, I only got a hero to go. What's up with the volume of the music here? Why doesn't the maitre'd come around to check on things? I also wrote about the parking before...the biggest problem here is that staff hogs spaces. You want a good relationship with neighbors...treat us with respect......ONE car gets ONE space!!!! And you know who you are.
