Very beautiful place, with thoughtful design & nice ambience.
The service was fast & the staff were very nice
The food itself, we found a bit disappointing - but that might have been the specific items we ordered? Still, for that price we'd expect amazing food & at least a small side included.
We came to try the new Gentile on sources. Its a real wow! The decor is real feel Florence Italy. The food & desserts are home made Sicilian. Their mother makes all the biscottis & lemon drops... with love & you can taste it.
Five star experience every time! I have become a regular at this restaurant & every meal has been delicious. Service never disappoints. Beautiful restaurant!
If i could give this place a negative star i would. This is my second time giving this place a chance to make up for service i had gotten the first time. I had come for breakfast thinking it was going to be something decent, having ordered a breakfast sandwich, which was so basic that you could get from McDonalds. No sides no extras, just the sandwich alone was 12-15$ from what i remembered. There was another couple beside us who had gotten the same as us & when the plates came both tables bursted with laughter thinking it had to be some kind of joke... to be paying that price for such sub par food. Now to top off with yesterday's experience, we had reserved a table of 8 for 7pm yesterday. We had Jimmy as our server & he was everything but welcoming as a server not one bit of warmth the whole time we were there. Which was odd. Seemed like he couldn't be bothered. He checked up on us only when he took the orders & when we had to ask for the bill. As I observed the other staff & waiters had a totally different attitude compared to him. Although to mention , not sure why there is always a rush to pick up the plates. To be charging these outrageous prices for food & it not have one bit flavour is mind boggling & to top off the service we got was the cherry on top. We have no problem paying the prices if we had at least gotten a decent service. Also to add we paid the bill & left ; we got a call an hour later saying the payment didn't go through... never had that happen before. What an odd experience... i would tell others to save their money & go elsewhere.
The food was great , loved the bruschetta, the cavatelli sausage was the best . The sausage & the rapini were separated into small enough pieces that there was some in every bite. & the sandwich was right on . There are some reviews that were complaining about prices , but if you have been out lately there is nothing out of the ordinary price wise. First time at this location & won't be the last .
Joy was absolutely wonderful! Her kindness & warmth made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. She was attentive, friendly, & provided exceptional service throughout our visit. Her genuine care & positive attitude truly stood out. Thank you, Joy, for making our experience so special!
Beautiful atmosphere, excellent service & awesome food…Always a great place for a get together! Strongly recommend the eggplant parmigiana & pizza pies (especially the loaded that you can take out :)
A charming spot with beautiful decor & a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The service really stood out - friendly, attentive, & genuinely made the experience enjoyable. The food was decent, though not particularly memorable , it's still a lovely place to visit for the ambiance & great service. Ps it's not the gentile on chabanel, it's totally different & you need reservations more than a week.
Finally tried this place this past weekend, & my family enjoyed it. Great friendly service. Food came fast even for Father's Day. Atmosphere is great & the restaurant is very nice inside. Looking forward to my next visit.
