Started our Pugliano's adventure with a somewhat snarky exchange between hostess and waitress. Both absolutely ignored the fact that we were two feet away.
Once resolved there was an invisible veil of negativity lifted and the service (same waitress) was flawless, prompt and friendly.
Starting with the house Sangria (white). Not awesome. A water glass of wine + seltzer + an orange slice does not a sangria make.
Appetizers of stuffed banana peppers and the most fabulous looking zucchini erased the sangria-pout. Dinners were equally fab, everything from kisses to salmon - loved them all.
Desserts were beautiful and sweet, removing the ding on the opening flavor-that-need-not-be-mentioned-again!
We've been here several times and from the food is terrific, regardless the dish!
