I give it 3.5 stars, and here is why. I called the morning before (after being unable to snag next-day reservations on OpenTable). Upon arriving, my reservation wasn't in the system (and the front desk hostesses let our party know that they had just let that girl go). Despite that mishap, they could still accommodate our party five after a 30-minute wait (not too bad). The hosts were also super sweet and friendly, trying to improve the situation.
After the wait, we were seated and had drinks and apps. The calamari was a 5/5, and the Caesar salad was a 3.5/5. The portion was pretty small, and the dressing was barely there.
I thought the entrees fell short. The fettucini alfredo didn't taste fresh; instead, it tasted like milk and cheese combined with no authentic seasonings (or Italian love). My husband said the chicken parmesan was decent, but the sauce tasted more like it was out of the can than freshly made. My mom thoroughly enjoyed the chicken marsala, and I heard no complaints.
Other things ordered were tiramisu, cheesecake, another chicken parmesan, and complimentary bread. The desserts were great!!
The customer service from our waiter was excellent!! She was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. To make this 5/5, the kitchen staff has to deliver more in the flavor area -- whether it is a noon reservation or 8 pm, the people want deliciously fresh food. So, while this place didn't win my (foodie) heart, I would be willing to try it again, maybe next time ordering something different.
