  Doesn't live up to the hype or the price.
  Upon entering you can look into the kitchen, seeing boxes of Barilla Pasta on the shelves was not what one should expect from a "Celebrity Chef", you would expect fresh made pasta. Once seated, water glasses were plastic, not classy. Appetizer of calamari was tough, apparently not soaked in buttermilk to tenderize. Received the wrong dinner, but couldn't tell the waitress as she didn't come back to check and see if everything was okay until we were just about through eating. The risotto was mushy, the broccoli was from frozen not fresh. Upon realizing she had brought the wrong dinner a complimentary dessert should have at least been offered. It was not. Sorry but would not return.

  OUR WAITRESS FORGOT TO PUT ONE OF OUR PARTY DINNER IN (PARTY OF 4)CAME OUT AFTER ALL 3 OF US FINISHED AND THEY ALREADY WRAPPED OUT TO GO BAGGIES. THEN TOLD US SHE WOULD GET US COFFEE (MAKING US THINK IT WAS ON HER BECAUSE OF HER MISTAKE BUT THEN CHARGED US FOR IT. WAITRESS WAS ALSO RUDE TO US AND DISRESPECTFUL TO STAFF IN FRONT OF CUSTOMERS. I WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE AND NEITHER WILL MY FRIENDS. AWFUL SERVICE. THE WAITRESS TOLD US SHE WAS THE MANAGER TOO

  We went there for a nice birthday dinner and wanted to try a new place. Apparently they haven't got their act together yet. It took roughly 35 minutes to get our appetizers out, but only because I had to pull aside one of the waitresses, and when she brought them over, she admitted that they were just sitting there for the past 10 minutes. We were pretty hungry at that point, so we just ate them. Then another 20 minutes had to pass before our salads that came with out entrees came out. About another 20 minutes later, we asked them where our entrees were. There were already 2 other parties who had come in after us, and were already done with their dinner.
  
  At this point we were done waiting for our meal and wanted to know why it was taking so long. We asked the waitress to get the manager, who apparently is also the head chef (which shouldn't be the case. In any good restaurant you have a manager). So it's Chef Anton Testino, and he comes to our table, looks us all over, and says "Yes?" as if we were bothering him. Any good manager, or chef, would begin by apologizing to his patrons and asking what he can do to make the situation better. Not this guy. He comes out like WE'RE the ones wasting HIS time.
  
  So we tell him what happened and he starts to make excuses like, "We're short staffed tonight." That's not our problem. If you're short staffed and can't serve your customers, then you close the restaurant for that night. The next excuse was how long our order was in. He said that it's been 53 minutes since the ticket was submitted, and wanted to argue with us about it and bring it out as proof. First of all, it was 90 minutes since we ordered, so the waitress messed up by not putting it in on time, and second, even if we forgave that, how is 53 minutes a reasonable amount of time to wait for an entree? He continued to argue with my mother on her birthday, which we explained that all we wanted was a nice birthday dinner for her, and he starts to talk down to her like an a-hole.
  
  After realizing that Chef Testino was one of those small minded people who always needs to be right, we just said to give us our bill for what we ate and we were going to leave. Only then did he say, you know what, I'll do you a favor, you don't have to pay. Wow, Chef, what a guy. This place has been open for only a few months, and I assume it'll be gone in another 2.
  
  Avoid this place at all costs. If you have any complaints, the Chef will come out and argue with you instead of trying to make it right.
