I found out that it was indeed under a new management, the original owners sold the place (no, I don't have any idea why).

I don't know if it's under new management or whatever, but my friends and I recently dined there, and their food is so far down below par that it's a disgrace that they're calling themselves an Italian restaurant. We would have let the abysmal food slide had they tried to make it up with the service, but that did not happen at all. We had to request for the simplest of things like water, butter and utensils more than 4 times, and at one point we had to share our forks with one another because if not, the food would get cold. We had to wait ages between each course. I ordered salmon, and on their menu it said "salmon with cream sauce". What a joke. Their cream sauce was mayonnaise! The whole dinner was an atrocity and a disaster. All in all, dining in this restaurant was one of the most unpleasant evenings I've ever had. I would not suggest eating in this place to anyone.

Actually, I saw you at Cafe Cassanova, (I was the lady behind you that came in as you were about to take a picture of the latte. I was with my folks...) and was just dyahe to say hi. I frequent your blog a lot, hence your familiar face. <BR/><BR/>I agree with you - its a nice place and if only I could keep it a secret place to myself I would. I only got to take their seafood soup as I needed to be back at work but I would definitely come back, maybe with a handsome date (that would be my husband):D Hi Lori!
