Reviews
The bruschetta toppings had a really good subtle flavor that I can’t grasp. It may have just been from the fresh parsley and red onions combining really well. Overall though, the bruschetta wasn’t very good due to the hard, tasteless tomato pieces, and the bread, which was not good quality and was toasted to crouton consistency. A salad comes with the entrée, but it should have just been skipped. It was airline quality; see picture. Balsamic vinegar dressing did not taste like it contained olive oil.
The roasted vegetable appetizer was wonderful. “Verdura Alla Griglia”. “An assortment of grilled vegetables (eggplant, zucchini, portabello mushrooms, roasted peppers and red onion).” Vegetables were sliced very thin. Roasted just right. Not too much garlic.
We both had pasta dishes, and sadly the pasta was overcooked in both dishes. The tomato sauce here is very good – rich, thick, and flavorful. My dining partner thought the sauce may have been over-salted, as she was very thirsty after our meal. I had the mussels and shrimp over spinach special, served over linguine. This dish could have used more pasta; by the time I finished, there was still a lot of broth remaining in the bowl. The broth had good flavor. I would have appreciated a refill of our bread basket at this point. The shrimp served in this dish were excellent quality and cooked just right. They had a nice sweetness. I would have enjoyed it more if the tails and last shell segments of the shrimp had been removed, since this is not a dish you want to eat with your fingers.
Dessert was a “limoncello flute” – lemonchello gelato swirled with limoncello sauce and whipped cream. It was a lighter desert, and pretty good.
If I rated on the food alone it would have been rated far beyond excellent! However, dine in service was horrible. Our waitress was rude and completely disrespectful. Table side manner was awful and we had to wait a while for just water! No one even asked us if we wanted anything beyond water which I had to ask a few times to be refilled. When ordering desert the waitress grabbed the menu out of my hands after ordering. Honestly, I felt as though the waitress taking my orders was annoyed I had my children there too. She was not friendly and very cold toward us all. My check was even dropped in front of me with a short thank you and her rushing off. I noticed other patrons there too that were getting better service than what my family and I received.
I was very pleased with the food; however I was not impressed with the dine in service. Because of the service, I likely won’t be back for dine in again anytime soon.
Definitely call ahead for reservations at peak times when planning to dine there. Either way, its well worth the wait and the trip.
Update: Because of our previous positive experience we invited another couple to dinner tonight. Sadly, it was such a disappointment. There were only two other customers in the dining room and when we went to order two pizzas, we were told that we could not order pizzas on Friday because there was only one person making them and he had to make them for take out orders only. Unfortunately, they lost us as customers.
