Unfortunately. The service & quality has gone downhill. The Lasagna was cold when it came out of the oven. Geppetto was better 2years ago. Probably staff changes or cook have resulted in a poor experience. Our food did not even come out at the same time. We were 8 people & 2 of us had to wait 10min longer for Cold Lasagna. I won't be going back. I was very disappointed

An unforgettable evening! The jazz trio's talent & chemistry created music that flowed back & forth between them, like a magical conversation. If you get the chance to see them, go!

A very lovely restaurant. The ambiance is cozy, the staff is welcoming & pleasant. The food is delicious. I rarely have a Caesar's salad in restaurants, but their's is absolutely scrumptious, as well as the Mediterranean salad. We truly enjoyed the pizza & the pasta. Always a beautiful experience.

Great food, relaxing ambiance, wonderful service! My only suggestion (which applies to all the times we have been there) is to turn down the music volume. Especially when the restaurant is full, it becomes hard to have a normal conversation. Last night we were there late with few people near by, but still the music was too loud. A softer music genre would probably also be a better fit.
