| - I only wish that Yelp allowed you to give you negative stars after eating at this dreadful restaurant. It is, by far, the worst Italian restaurant I've ever eaten at. Don't go here unless you like paying a ridiculous amount of money for a ridiculously small amount of bad food. And to top it off, the only thing that will match your tasteless food will be the horrible service you get.
The Food
Simply put, it's terrible. We're an Italian family that has eaten great Italian food from coast to coast and this is, by far, the worst we've ever had. All told, we had one appetizer and three different entrees and it was all tasteless. Virtually no flavor at all. Don't be fooled by something sounding good in the description on the menu if you are unfortunate enough to go here because it probably won't taste anything like it sounds. In fact, it may not have any taste at all. Our food was bland and not cooked properly. The chicken and steak were rubbery, the pasta undercooked and the shellfish chewy. The only good thing about the food is that the portions are so pathetically small that you won't have to suffer through eating it for too long and you will have plenty of room left in your stomach to go eat at a real restaurant after you leave here if you haven't maxed your credit card paying the bill. BTW, if you want to pay $15 for a piece of chocolate espresso cake about the size of a small cupcake this is the place for you.
The Service
Even worse than the food, if that is possible. We had to basically demand some bread because we were extremely hungry and we were told that they usually don't bring bread until after you order. We had to tell them to bring the bread three times and when they did there was no butter. That took another five minutes and it was hard as a rock when it showed up. Don't get too excited though....the bread is a half step up from Wonder Bread straight out of the supermarket. OK, that's not fair...Wonder Bread has more flavor. They pressure you to order, try to get the plates off the table as soon as you put your fork down and clearly want to get you in and out of there as fast as possible so the next poor sap can get your table and get robbed without a gun for a little portion of terrible food.
But Wait, There's More...CHECK YOUR CHECK!
As if overpaying for tiny portions of the crappiest, most tasteless Italian food you've ever eaten with horrendous service isn't enough, here comes the icing on the cake. They have the unmitigated gall to AUTOMATICALLY ADD A 20% GRATUITY TO YOUR BILL! And we were only 4 people, not a large party where this is sometimes done. It is straight up offensive but it might explain why the service is so bad because they know they are slamming you with a 20% gratuity so they probably couldn't care less. If you complain to them about it they will remove the forced gratuity which is somewhat like a pickpocket giving you back your wallet when you catch them counting your money.
Let me make this easy. DO NOT EAT AT THIS AWFUL EXCUSE FOR A RESTAURANT. But, if you have a bitter enemy that you absolutely despise and need to get some kind of revenge on, tell them to eat at this horrific establishment and sleep soundly knowing that you have gotten the last laugh.
