The fettuccine was prepared al dente (perfect texture). The flavor was good (not great, a bit bland). What was disappointing though, was the shrimp itself. Instead of full shrimp, the meal came with the shrimp cut into barely bite sized pieces. Odd choice to prepare an expensive meal. My wife had the Pasta Amatriciana. Again, the pasta was prepared perfectly. Not too spicy, just enough bite to let you know what you were eating.\n\nThe service was exemplary.

First and likely last time visiting. We chose this restaurant because the OpenTable app listed a menu that included a veal chop, and it was only a 3-minute walk from the Wellmont Theater. However, when we arrived, we were handed a completely different menu—no veal chop at all. Disappointing, but we decided to stay.

Overall, the experience felt inflexible and inattentive. We won’t be returning.

Appetizer artichoke was not cooked. Leaves were hard to remove. We noticed another table had the Artichoke app returned Item was not removed from check. They charged me for something that we didn’t order. Did not notice till after it was paid. Dinner was $300 not a good value
2-Fish Bronzino and flounder was very salty. And a pasta dish. Surprised. We have dined there at least 6 times
And have never had a bad experience. Over priced.
