My boyfriend and I live just down the street from Corvo, but we had never been before today. This afternoon we went for an early dinner/patio drinks. The patio "vibe" overall is nice, there are cute string lights, comfortable seating and chairs etc.
My boyfriend ordered a beer assuming it was a full pint, but it was not (it was a half pint size). I ordered a glass of the house white and it was okay, but had not been fully chilled which (for me) is important for white wine. This wine seemed like it had been stuck in the fridge 30-40 minutes before being served. So far okay - right?? Well, then our food came...
I ordered the orecchiette with wild boar sausage and rapini. I promise you, it was the most repulsive meal I have ever eaten ... and by eaten I mean had one bite of. The sausage meat was a light pinky red and in my mind was undercooked (yuck). There was very little (perhaps zero) seasoning of any type on the pasta just a TON of butter and oil. It was swimming in grease. I'm really not a picky person, and pasta is kind of a difficult thing to mess up.
My boyfriend ordered the margarita pizza and it was also covered in oil. My boyfriend is probably the least picky eater in the world and he only had one slice of the pizza and said that it was so salty he couldn't eat it.
After my one bite of food I knew that I wouldn't be able to eat it. The server came back and asked if she could get us more drinks and I said no just the bill please. She asked if we wanted our food packed up and I said no thank you and she said okay! Did not address the fact that we had barely picked at our food at all - nothing. In my mind that is just terrible service.
This is my first one star review and hopefully my last. It boggles my mind that people have given this place such positive reviews. Our experience was completely at odds with what some other reviewers have said. Needless to say we won't be back which is too bad since it is so close by.
Oh - one final thing - while we were waiting for our bill a big stick/branch fell off a tree onto me and into my food. Obviously we can't control nature and its not like I was going to eat the food anyways, but still!
