Reviews
We were sat right next to another couple when there were plenty of other open tables around which was weird.
Then the waitress kept asking what we wanted without giving any time to settle in. It felt like we were a bother to them from the moment we walked in and they just wanted us to go.
I realized after that they close at 10 on Saturday but they accept reservations for 9 so it shouldn’t be an issue especially at the price.
Anyway, I ordered the tortellini vodka sauce because I’m an Italian from Long Island New York and I’ve yet to find a decent vodka sauce in Dallas and sure enough this wasn’t it either. Very disappointing vodka sauce. The homemade tortellini was good but the sauce was lacking in flavor and creaminess. If you know you know.
My date had the chicken parm which was also mid. It wasn’t bad just not worth the price or the hype.
Lastly and maybe this is just a New York thing but I was surprised they didn’t serve any bread at the start of the meal as that’s kind of standard at Italian restaurants up north.
We ordered a salad and fried calamari as appetizers. Unfortunately, the calamari was shockingly small, and the squid itself had clearly been overcooked at a very high oil temperature, leaving it completely dried out. The exterior was covered in a very thick layer of batter, overwhelming the dish.
The salad was extremely sour—so much so that no other flavors came through. All I could taste was acidity. This could possibly be a matter of personal preference.
What really surprised me came next. The server came over and asked whether we had finished the dish, even though I had barely touched the calamari and only tasted the salad. There was no attempt to ask why the dishes were not eaten—only whether we were done.
We also requested the dessert to be served immediately, but despite that, there was still a long wait. When it finally arrived, the pastry was not crisp at all, which was disappointing.
Overall, this was quite a letdown. That said, it is undeniably a beautiful restaurant, and I respect all restaurant professionals and staff. However, tonight’s experience made me feel that, as a guest, I was not respected.
