  • Living in the King West area, I enjoy the selection of amazing restaurants and cafes that are literally on my doorstep. Cafe Cinquecento is not one of these restaurants. Its a shame really, as the location of the restaurant has so much potential. My b/f and I decided to stop in on our way downtown on a Friday night. When we arrived, we stood at the front door for a few minutes before someone came over to seat us. Now, I can understand the wait if the restaurant was busy, but there were only 5 tables taken, and 2 wait staff working that night. After being seated, we again waited about 5 mins before the waiter came to ask if we'd like a drink. We ordered a glass of wine, and I had expected some water to be brought to our table. No water and another 5 mins to bring our wine. Our waiter was not very perceptive, and I literally had to make eye contact with him to get him to come to our table. Remember folks, 6 tables filled, and 2 wait staff working that night. I started to observe the waitress not serving us and decided that perhaps it was just our waiter that was slow. I don't think I need to go on about how SLOW our waiter was. As for the food, we were not impressed either. We ordered two appetizers to start, mussels and a meat platter. They were ok. The meat platter, was meat, you can't really go wrong with sliced prosciutto and Serrano ham. The Mussels were good, I can't say they were bad but neither were they spectacular. For main dishes I ordered the special which was lobster with risotto stuffed peppers. My risotto tasted burnt. My b/f ordered the steak over risotto. I had expected either a full steak, or thinly sliced steak spread over a bed of risotto, however what came were slices of steak fried and dumped on top of the rice. We should have known when the waiter didn't ask how we liked our meat. The meat was overcooked and tough to chew. Throughout the meal, it would appear they had some trouble in the kitchen as the restaurant filled up with smoke. No one thought to open the front door so we were sitting in it till we left and for the rest of the night we smelled like burnt meat. Not an overall good first impression and the waiter was completely useless. I am not sure I will give this restaurant another chance. Id rather go to the Foggy Dew next door and have a pint with wings.
