Food quality has really gone down. Last night the asparagus on both of our meals was very gritty as if it wasn't washed. The main meal actually made me sick to my stomach. I don't say this lightly because we have been going here for years, but the last few times have been really disappointing

Had the seafood Fra diavlo. EXCELLENT. I had the full portion. I can eat and there was an equal amount to take home and eat the next day. The bread and dipping oil was delicious. The server was very friendly. Definitely take your love one here for a lovely evening.

Overpriced for decent food quality. Service is very hit or miss. Sometimes the servers are awesome, sometimes they're rude and never come check on your table. If prices were lowered for the quality being served it would be 5 stars but this is Pittsfield, not Boston or any big city where the prices can be justified

Delicious. Fancy atmosphere. Waitstaff were all highly courteous and friendly. Food was delicious. (I'll just say that they should serve roasted potatoes rather than mashed potatoes as a side). All in all, a dinner to remember.
