Good food, but very poor service

We had such high hopes for SGL after reading the other reviews, and drove straight there. Unfortunately the service definitely detracted from the food. I suspect it was in some part due to the Steelers playing in the play-offs in the adjoining cocktail bar (the chef is a Steelers fan, as proved by his wearing their jersey) but every step of service was slow.
Food was good, though a little short of some of the other reviewers ecstatic levels, typical Italian really. I had the gnocchi sorrentino which was fine and wife had the cappelinni alla checca – again, unremarkable.
On the plus side, they went out of their way to make chocolate milk for the kids and the ambiance of the place is nice, but all in all, an unremarkable and (thanks to ecstatic, some would say unrealistic, reviews) disappointing dinner experience.

Dishes I tried:

Gnocchi Sorrentino

Well made gnocchi with tasty Parmesan cheese and spinach.
