Kudos to the restaurant! We dined in for lunch, and the experience was fantastic. The price per person was between $50 and $100, and it was worth every penny. The food was outstanding, earning a perfect score of 5. The service was equally excellent, also a 5 out of 5. The atmosphere was inviting and pleasant, scoring yet another 5. I highly recommend trying the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo and the Lasagna!

We wanted to try somewhere new for lunch. They have a sign in front of the Art District stating they are stationed there but no sign at all anywhere else. We just assumed we were in the right place as it seemed to be the only restaurant. The atmosphere felt outdated and not very Italian. It feels a bit....bare. As for the food, I ordered the Chefs Special, which was ok. It was good in flavor but very saucy. It also had a clump of cheese in just one spot that made the linguini sticky and almost dry. My husband had the shrimp scampi, which was also very saucy/oily. It could have filled up a cup. The portions themselves are huge, especially for lunch. We also each had a Ceasar salad, and that was more parmesean cheese than dressing. It was almost like having a dry salad and a bit lacking in flavor. Altogether, it wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great. The service itself was good. There weren't many people there, maybe 2 other tables occupied, but the waitresses were very attentive.
