Great spot. The service was amazing. Staff/server was great. Food came out in a timely manner. I got the special of the day. A pasta in aged Alfredo sauce with scallops and shrimp. Meatballs as an appetizer, they were fantastic. Make a reservation for sure. We had a reservation and were seated right away. However, the person in front of me did not and they were told an hour and a half wait(this was at 6pm on a Saturday) not sure if it is a busy during the week.

Just returned from this restaurant after date night with my husband. This was only our second visit, but it may have been our last. Keeping it simple, I’m angry about the salad. Sometimes it comes down to the basics. I ordered the $14 Cesare salad. I began eating it and noticed it had a funky taste. Upon closer inspection, it had brown bits with the ends showing pink mold. The picture is just what I picked out. I couldn’t eat or dig any further. I complained to Azeb, our server, and assumed it would be removed from our check. Well, surprise, surprise, it was not. No, she charged us full price for that nasty lettuce. Lesson learned: always complain directly to the manager and, ultimately, don’t return to any of the DZ Group restaurants. If they are willing to pawn off moldy lettuce on patrons at one restaurant, they’ll do it at all of them. Fortunately, there are plenty of other Italian restaurants in Saratoga!

I made a very special reservation for my birthday 4 months in advance and called to make sure I would get a table by the veranda’s edge.

Bartender Candace was presently knowledgeable about menus options and was happily willing to kindly assist me in deciding the best options on the menu. Awesome! plentiful! happy hour options! drinks, food, and dessert options for ridiculously cheap! Loved the warm low lighting, comfortable, unrushed environment ❤

Great food! A proper Caesar Salad with anchovies. Grilled Octopus – you don’t find that often- and they’re not afraid to use the spices. The homemade sausage on the pizza was excellent. The ambience inside was a bit loud, but we did not have reservations and the porch was full. Service was excellent.

Lauren Hunt

Absolutely amazing. The food was fantastic. If you want good Italian food – go here. The ambiance is also lovely – the inside is very cozy and the patio (where we sat) was very nice with large fans moving the air to control the humidity. I love that this restaurant is slightly removed from the hustle and bustle of most of Broadway. Also – I debated giving 4 stars for service because there was quite a delay in receiving our appetizer but they immediately took it off the bill (without our asking) and there were no other hiccups in service…so, I went with 5 stars. When a restaurant makes a mistake but immediately corrects it, I can’t hold it against them!

Jim Carpenter

Had reservations for our first anniversary dinner. Ended up being seated outside on a chilly night and never would have dreamed that our reservations wouldn’t have been inside. Service was blah and we ordered the appetizer sampler. The calamari was undercooked, tasted like grease, and wasn’t the best. The other items on the board were good but when the server came back much later, she asked if we wanted it replaced, we didn’t so she shrugged her shoulders and walked away with no other mention.

Susan Krouner

Sadly a very disappointing experience where the food is cold the waiter has no time to circle back after taking the order. Not a chance that I would ever return to this restaurant. This was not the first time I had a bad “taste” in my mouth leaving this highly rated place. Nothing special !!!

The presentation, portion and taste of the food was great. Service was a little slow but allowed for time to chat. Not too slow to complain about so I wouldn’t worry. Would definitely recommend!

William Banks

Honestly, I felt it was overated. Food was bland and overpriced, the service was not bad until at the end. When our server after paying the bill, this was like 2mins after, was wrapping up conversation with other couple we were with came back over and was like if you can please go now we have other reservations coming in. We obliged, but on the way out, i observed they had other open tables, and nobody was waiting to get in. In 45 years and working in the service industry, i have never asked customers to leave or in a matter that she did it.
