  Did not want to seat us when we got there. Multiple tables open but they wanted to only seat parties of 4 or more. We left, but I went back in and asked why they advertised a 2 person Groupon when they would not seat just 2 people.
  They decided to seat us; I went out and brought my date back in. It filled up and the service was not exactly prompt, despite a lot of wait staff present. We ordered the mussels and they were incredibly spectacular.
  The house Cabernet was very good. They spoke of hot fresh rolls coming, but they did not come even after 15 minutes. When they came they were quickly consumed but when we asked for more, my date was told they would be an additional $3. We said fine.
  The waitress then came back with them and announced that our dinners were given to the wrong table and they had to be re-made, so she did not charge us for the rolls after all.
  When dinner finally came, the chicken parmesan was very good; fresh chicken lightly breaded with a perfect amount of cheese topping, not overly smothered like some places.
  The veal however seemed to have been frozen and deep fried, covered with a fine breading and had little flavor and was tough. I was surprised that for a place that has fresh rabbit and fresh octopus dishes, they would not have a fresh Italian mainstay.
  When dinner was over, the check was wrong - none of our beverages were on it. I asked to have it corrected and they did. The bill went from $32 to $55 before my $25 off Groupon. I tipped $15, for a net total of ~$45.
  My date will not go back. I think the place needs to work out some kinks, re-think their seating policy (we are year round customers) and improve their process and food consistency as well as their roll pricing policy. Good luck to them.

  Our first time visit at this restaurant was very memorable The food was exceptional. Management was most accommodating. Definitely five star dining experience. If you don't eat here you are missing out on some of the finest Italian food available.
