So this was my first time trying this restaurant. I was extremely excited and I was looking forward to the experience. I made a reservation for 645. Me and my guest arrived around 6:50. We were seated and given water. I ordered a lemonade all which came out promptly. We ordered appetizers and our entrées at the same time. We received bread. So far so good! We waited well over an hour for our entrées. We understand it’s a Saturday night mistakes happen and we did not mind being patient. We watched as multiple couples came in AFTER US were sat ordered appetizers drinks and meals, and received their dinners before we did. Some of them even paid and left before we got our entrées. At some point, we just decided it would be better off to cut our losses and go ( it had been an hour and 45 mins since arrival ) upon leaving our food was being brought out of the back. We were asked if we would like to sit back down to eat our food we declined because at this point, we were frustrated and we have over an hour drive back home. Someone came out of the back. She was very nice and accommodating. She told us the meals are made to order, but that does not explain why multiple guests were seated AF

Superb Italian food! I had the frutta de mar! Absolutely delicious! Generous portions! From the meatballs to homemade desserts, you really need to try this gem of a restaurant! Definitely put on your radar!

I was meeting a friend for dinner last Wednesday and came across this restaurant. I have to agree with the reviews saying they enjoyed their meal because ours was delicious. Appetizer, entrees and the chicken marsala I ordered to go were all really enjoyable. Bravo to whoever prepared my food for providing depth of flavor. The spices and abundance of garlic was appreciated. The food was delicious, the portions were generous, the prices were reasonable and the staff was prompt and friendly. I wish I would have found CCll sooner because I like good food. Looking forward to my next visit.

The place is honestly adorable when you walk in. Hands down a cute little mom and pop restaurant. Unfortunately the service is very poor. Lack of attention. When I asked what specials they had or what would they suggest I was just stared at and told I'm not sure. We didn't receive any bread. Now the food was okay (clams casino, veal Parmesan, chicken parm) all basic meals. It tasted as if I ordered from a small pizza shop in downtown Troy who served "Italian dinners". Not bad but for the price.. not really ideal.

Went to dinner with my girlfriend Sarah. She mentioned this place was magical and perfect for us to take date night. Disgusting is the nicest word I could say. My drink had soap in it. Lipstick stains on the glass. My food was cold and inedible. My gf is home sick after eating here. She praised the food here. Service was atrocious. I'm not one to leave a review but Ieft one with the health department because raw chicken should never be SERVED!!! ALSO THE BARTENDER SHOULD GET OFF HIS PHONE AND PAY MIND TO CUSTOMERS The wonderful service continues. This is the response a restaurant gives to a customer who leaves a review. In what world is this appropriate? If a guest leaves a review which is in their right to shed light on the negative experience, it should not be met with aggression. Alas it has. In reviewing other reviews of this restaurant there seems to be another review for a woman named amanda who also had a bad experience but was left with the "the police can find her party". What a joke. Amanda if you read this please be aware by law " You are entitled to reduce the bill or refuse to pay if the food is poor enough to be a breach of contract" Entering a restaurant and accepti
