| - We here last night for the first. Thought I'd post my 2 cents.
We had a reservation for 7:30, which was nice since I got there a little early and heard people without reservations being told there was about a 1/2 hour wait.
There were 4 of us, and since it was our first time there, we decided to all try something different so we could share.
We started out with ceasar salad and vegetable salad, both were very good. Tip: they are not big enough for sharing..We got two salads for each couple to share. We wished we had each ordered our own salad.
For the entress we ordered:
1. Salsiccia Pancetta Pizza - This pizza was very good and very tasty. It is really worth ordering if you like a mix of flavors
2. Pollo Carciofo - This is a white pizza with pesto and chicken as the main ingredients. Not very tasty. Actually pretty pretty bland and the chicken was almost non-existent. They actually should take the word "chicken" out of the title, as the few little pieces that were on there felt like they were tossed on as an afterthought.
3. Amaro Cioppino - This actually was very good. The sauce had a surprising spicy kick to it.
4. Pappardelle Bolognese - This was actually the funniest thing we ordered. The waiter described it as an "outstanding" dish. There was nothing outstanding about it. It was just "ok". It was pasta with a very bland meat sauce that you could get at any lower end pasta place for 1/2 the price.
For dessert we ordered tiramisue and the chocolate cheesecake. Both were just average. Both were commercial grade and I'm sure not made on the premises, but brought commercially and delivered in. Neither had that taste you'd expect of freshly prepared in house pastries.
The service. This is something they really need to work on. Our waiter although very nice, had no clue about table waiting.
We waited a really long time for our salads to come out. When they did, we notices no condiments on the table. We had to ask for pepper and then wait till the waiter came back with a pepper mill...No urgency on his return. Never offered to put salt and pepper on the table. So you only get one shot at getting pepper or salt on your food.
When the food came out, the pizzas were brought out first and we waited about 5 minutes for the other 2 pasta entrees to come out. The kitchen needs to coordinate their food better so tables are served in their entirety not piecemeal where the initial food served is cold before the rest comes out. Again, there was no sense of urgency on this. Again, we had to ask for pepper when the food came out. You'd think he would have had it with him this time,but No. Again we had to wait for him to return with a pepper mill.
One of my friends asked for some bread with his pasta when we placed our order. It actually made it to the table just as he was finishing his meal. We think the waiter forgot and overheard us talking about it. And they had the audacity to charge for it...Can you believe it?
When we got our coffee, there was no silverware on the table, again we had to wait for him to return with some for the coffee and dessert. I know that this might be just a tad picky, but I really detest when restaurants don't have the proper silverware. We were given big round soup spoons to eat tiramisu and cheesecake with.
All in all the food was good, but they really need to work on the wait service and the kitchen coordination.
We will give them another shot.
