| - Made reservations ahead of time to have dinner with a few friends from out of town, the food was satisfactory but the service wasn't great. First off, I thought we would be able to be seated in a nicer area since I reserved ahead of time, but instead the six of us were seated in an area that was just WAY too dark. Like, couldn't see my food. Could barely see my friend in front of me.
Second, the waiters, as kind as they tried to be, seemed super stressed out and exasperated throughout the night. I felt pressured during my order to hurry up, and when the food came out, a snobby brunette literally dropped off our food without saying a single word, and when I asked for more water (since it hadn't been filled the entire night) she just gave me a face and never came back to our table again.
Here are some of the things were ordered:
Red wine sangria -- 2 carafes for 6 people made it to about 1.5 glasses per person. Taste was more tart than sweet, but the only fruit in it was orange peels. Peels.
Bruschetta planks -- nice attempt, but I prefer Postino's Central. I enjoyed the proscuitto fig, but the other ones were not so good. Chicken/Tomato bruschetta tasted weird, and the pear/balsamic just didn't work.
Porco pizza -- the meat was good, cheese was good, but together it needed a little bit more spice, as it was a bit bland. Our waiter was nice enough to give us some tabasco but I never thought pizza at a place like this would actually need it.
In summary, I don't think I would return to this restaurant. I thought the vibe would be smooth, relaxed, and ambient, but it was quite the opposite. I'll be looking for other pizza places from here on out.
