    The venue was pleasant, clean and the staff attentive. We were made to feel welcome but my wife and I were truly disappointed.We had been looking forward to authentic Italian meal prepared by a chef that offers cooking lessons. I believe the Menu along with Wine list was a collection of untested ideas. The meal was amateur at best and the house red was disgusting, this along with cheap cutlery, paper napkins and a member of the staff sweeping up the floor at 8.45pm led me to write this review.

    Jive as fru fru over priced rude dump. Gainesville at its finest-laugh.Over priced fru-fru food and decor-fart! And small portioned wanna be. Sheeit, I’d get more for my money at Texas Roadhaus! Then, when supper was over, they wanted to over charge for a menu item, and would’nt back down with out a fight about it, expecting me to pay more for an entre’ item they neglected to correct on the menu. Are kidding? I’ll never return. What they did’nt know is that I know tons of people and every chance I have, well, you know. Fat Tuscan, nana, let’s go somewhere else-please? Thanks!

    Non-smoking courtyard not enforced, unfortunately :(. The turkey panini I had was very well portioned with lunch-meat-style turkey not of high quality, but the greens and small salad included had quality and a great mix of ingredients. The young waiter forgot my drink but was attentive with water, etc. The only other table seated in the courtyard was a couple of women that smoked, even though very faded and weathered signs posted stated that it was a no smoking area. The young waiter continued to take their order and serve them never mentioning that it was a non-smoking area. I was too miffed to say anything directly to the women or waiter for fear that I’d say something very angry and confrontational to further ruin the afternoon… of everyone. Otherwise the courtyard was very pleasant and the seating and tables were clean and pollen-free. Highly visible and colorful signs should be posted if the wait staff are not comfortable informing patrons not to smoke or asking patrons to step to a different area for a cigarette – for the comfort of all guests, even those unable to speak up. Rules are in place to prevent confrontation and need to be enforced.
