Reviews
Honestly the dishes we had weren’t great (chicken Alfredo, lasagna bolognese). But not bad. The appetizers were spot on taste wise. From what I could tell this place does have some good quality food.
SERVICE: 2.5/10
The service was the main issue that I and a few others sitting across from us felt. The manager and one server was all that was on the floor and even tho it wasn’t super busy things were coming out very slow, This place is cramped
It took about 50 minutes just to get silverware, the salads and soup.
ATMOSPHERE: 8/10
Cool art and posters all over, instrumental halo 3 music started playing at one point and I pleasantly was surprised because I’m a game lover.
ENDING NOTES:
All these things aside the owner or manager we DID speak to, does seem to care about the place and the feedback, and they did comp my meal by 50% which gives some points. It seems like things are still being tweaked and worked on, and I’m sure another person’s experience will be different from mine, mine just wasn’t pleasant for the amount of time we spent there (over 2 hours)
Note- this review has nothing to do with the staff. They all seem generally very nice. However the owner is as unpleasant as can be and is very uncomfortable to be around.
The restaurant’s decor left much to be desired. It felt dated, with peeling stained-glass window films and dim lighting, creating a somewhat kitschy and neglected ambiance. The men’s bathroom, in particular, was disappointingly basic and unclean, akin to what you might find at a gas station.
I ordered salmon with pasta, with an included salad, along with bruschetta to share. The salad and bruschetta were tasty, though the bruschetta serving was surprisingly small for its price – just three slices of bread, effectively giving my wife and I only a piece and a half each. While the fish and pasta were also enjoyable, the presentation was lackluster, with too much empty space on the plate and only one side dish.
In all honesty, the food wasn’t bad. However, the total cost of over $70 for three people, including two Italian sodas, my wife’s ravioli, and a simple pasta dish for my toddler, felt steep. We could have prepared a similar meal at home for a fraction of the cost. For such a price, I would have preferred dining at Wildflour, where we’d enjoy great food, a charming and bright atmosphere, and some excellent beer.
I’m always happy to see new restaurants opening up, but Little Italy will need to rethink its pricing and really invest in updating its decor if it hopes to compete effectively. Unfortunately, I don’t see any value in this restaurant at all.
Came at 3:30pm, had the restaurant to ourselves. We had the eggplant parm, chicken parm, special (4 course meal), and three cheese tortellini.
Food was fabulous, the waiter was kind and funny, and the atmosphere was just like you would expect an Italian diner to be.
