Arrived at 11:30am on a Friday with a friend and was hoping for a table on the terrasse. The greeting by the hostess was less than welcoming, who said she would check to see if they could accommodate us without a reservation. She disappeared inside for nearly five minutes and then seated us at a table outside. The place was completely empty at this point - we were the only ones there.
At around 12:15, people started showing up and the terrasse did fill up quite a bit. Unfortunately the clientele this place seems to attract is the loud, boisterous, obnoxious types. They seem to be regulars, as the waiters are all super friendly with them. One waiter in particular came out of the restaurant yelling and singing to his table of "friends" - it was very rude for the rest of us, who had to stop talking & wait til he was finished.
Now, the food. The stracciatella soup was awful! Vegetable broth from a Campbell's can with some egg and (potato????) - that doesn't belong in there!!! Tasteless. I had two spoonfuls.
The veal Parmesan on the table d'hôte was well priced ($15) but you get what you pay for. The tomato sauce was bland. Pasta was well cooked, but the veal was small and nothing special.
The dessert was a Crème Caramel. Where was the caramel?? All I could taste was the orange slice they put on top of it.
My friend and I are both Italian - the rest of the clientele here was French (and all seemed to love the food). I think our taste can be trusted more than theirs!
Won't be back. Ever again. So disappointed!
