| - So I know this place is very popular and gets recommended a lot. But I have to be honest about my critic and not give it a high score just because everyone else did. So here is my take on Da emma.
Walked-in to this old dark place, very little lighting, which wasn't a big surprise as I knew this use to be a prison. Sit down and waiter comes immediately, please take into account that this is my first time at this place, and we tell him this. Then he says okay okay I will bring you some nice artichoke to start then I will bring you our famous delicious rack of lamb with potatoes on the side, I will also bring you pork chops, which I told him I don't eat pork. So then it's like he got thrown off, okay okay then I will make you veal breast with rosemary and spaghetti with a nice rich homemade tomato sauce. So we said okay, And he left, I kept asking myself if the had menus but didn't see anyone with it so I just presumed this is how it work.
5 minutes later our appetizers arrive, he brings me a plate of prosciutto and and a small plate of artichoke .... Ummmm didn't i just mention I don't eat pork??? Anyways, then the waiter just stand at our table waiting for us to eat (that really annoyed me) artichoke sucked to hard, too oily.
Then the main meal came, OMG the veal was over powered by rosemary, you could 't actually taste the meat, the lamb did not smell good and was too dry. The potatoes were also overwhelmed by rosemary and the pasta was not good at all. Honestly if your homemade sauce is tomato paste you need to rethink about your recipe.
With our food we had ordered a bottle of flat water and a glass of wine.
So like I mention since we never got a menu we never knew the prices either. At the end we just didn't enjoy our food and just wanted to get out of there, we declined coffee and dessert. We asked for the bill. 289$ Are you crazy????? Omg that much money for that mediocre food. Ughhh I will never go back and I definitely will not recommend it.
Oh by the way as I was leaving the restaurant, we realized they had a menu, its written on a blackboard that they bring to your table. Our stupid waiter never even mentioned it. Royally pissed off!
