The place was packed; as usual, but the noise level was unbearable. I don’t have a hearing problem, but wow, this place is insanely loud!
When the waitress finally got around to taking our orders, I ordered something on the menu and asked her to hold the capers and sun dried tomatoes. She made an unpleasant face to express her disdain of my preference. I wasn’t asking her professional opinion because she isn’t a chef.
After waiting almost an hour, the two gentlemen got their food. Of course they felt impolite to start
eating without the two women. The waitress also brought out all the sides a little sooner than the entrees (which tasted stale). Eventually, we all finished our dinner and were feeling rushed to leave because the noise level was affecting the quality of the evening.
I know everyone likes to say, “but the food is good” as an explanation for going there, but that is a huge turn off.
I had the buttons bucatini amatriciana while my companion had the veal piccata with the veggie side course. Both meals were great. My meal nicely spiced (heat).
Usually (our experience) other restaurants allow the diner to substitute the veggies for pasta, unfortunately this restaurant does not. If you want pasta, it’s extra (and ranges in price).
Definitely call ahead for reservations. If you tend to be cold, bring a sweater or jacket. Fine for me (former New Englander), though not my companion.
Will I return? Yes. Though will have to remember that entrees include veggies not pasta (LOL).
I had two major complaints: the wine by the glass list did not identify whose wine was being offered, just the grape as in cabernet or chardonnay. That might be ok for a pizza joint but definitely not for a serious restaurant. My other complaint was with the bill. It was unreadable. We showed it to our server who proceed to rattle off what each of the six of us ordered. What??? We expected a new, readable bill would be offered but no such luck. A very amaturish operation.
Unfortunately we will not be back.
Overall with the misses on execution and delivery, I left a little disappointed. It probably would have been a better experience if we had the friendly waitress that we felt comfortable engaging with instead of the one we received who ignored us for long periods of time and then seemed a little hostile throughout the evening.
