A much anticipated family dinner on Thursday 9/28 turned out to be a truly disappointing experience. I generally don’t dine out at Italian restaurants, simply because Italian is my personal specialty. However, the food reviews and pictures served as an irresistible lure. The reviews and pictures were misleading. As indicated in other reviews, the bar area was boisterous and the music was loud and annoying. Simple service for water was slow, and I actually had to ask for bread, only to be told it would be brought out with the appetizers. Huh? It wasn’t even warm, so what was the holdup? I had two of my grandchildren with me and the bread would have gone a long way to holding off their hunger. Instead, 25 minutes after arrival, they get bread. Yes, service is really that slow; although I had a suspicion that was due to our servers frequent smoke breaks. Every time she returned to the table, the smell of tobacco was fresh and noticeable. The food itself was just not good. Calamari was bland and dry: it tasted like flour and not much else. My daughter’s fettuccine Alfredo was tasteless and looked boring: the chicken was as white as the sauce. My daughter even commented that the sauce tasted like it was from a jar. Ordered my two year old grandson mushroom risotto but was told it was unavailable, so we settled for mashed potatoes…swimming in a lake of butter and otherwise bland. My daughter had to actually drain the potatoes onto a plate in order for them to be even partially edible. My cannelloni was comprised of a 40/40/20 of cheese, meat sauce, and pasta, all absolutely swimming in grease. So far, four food items inedible. The only saving grace was my granddaughter’s Bolognese pappardelle; it was a huge portion and she was very happy with the flavor. The cannoli she ordered for dessert to go went into the garbage after one bite: not good. This was a terrible dining experience. Although we were only charged for my grandchildren’s food, our server telling me she begged to have our check adjusted and that I should make up the difference in a large tip just really sunk the ship. I cant say ill ever venture back tghere again and I can’t, in good faith, recommend this restaurant.
