| - Disappointing.
Here's my experience with Teatro:
When we walked in the door: the decor was very nice. Main seating area was half empty, yet they seated us at the corner of the restaurant. We ended up asking to change our table to the main dining area.
Pre-appetizer on the house: a tiny bite sized (1cm x 1cm) bruchetta sample, one per person. If you are so stingy about a free sample, I'd rather not have it. If you want people to actually taste it, at least give me 1/4 of a normal bread size.
Bread: Nothing special. And I like it with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, not olive oil with salt. Just personal preference.
Appetizer: Tomato tart. Nicely done, pretty small for $18 though. Tasted pretty good, but the vinegar on the plate stood out more than the tart itself.
Main: Ragotoni (Rabbit meat + pasta): WAY TOO SALTY. I couldn't eat it. Pasta was a little undercooked for my taste. My fiance ended up having most of it. Aside from that, rabbit tasted just like pork, the sausage was ok.
Second Main: Lamb leg: Sauce was pretty good, overall very heavily tasted. There were 2 lamb steaks and one lamb sausage; one of the steaks they threw in a big chunk of pure lamb fat with the meat (not the nicely fat veins in the meat, but a 1 inch fat layer), I wouldn't suggest anyone to eat that unless you want to clog arteries. Might as well throw in a bone on my plate. (Speaking of bones, I did find a bone in the pasta)
Dessert: Hazelnut tart with banana ice cream: Sounds good right? Hazelnut and banana is pretty much the fail safe combo. WRONG!! Just how can you mess that up?! The ice cream ended up masking everything else on the plate, the pastry has no taste, the sugar paste in the tart was very chewy. If I could eat them separately, I'd leave out the sugar paste and the tart, and keep the banana ice cream with hazelnuts.
Service: Nothing spectacular. Not too bad. One thing I absolute hate: When I (or my fiance) said thank you, I expected a "You are welcome". Don't ignore me because I said thank you every time he refilled my water or took our empty plates. Is that so much work to say 3 words??
Washrooms: They are located downstairs. The staircase is pretty much for one person at a time. I can't imagine how people with disability would go down those stairs.
One more thing: As we were done our meal (before dessert), the server came by, without saying a word, stuck his left hand to his back, did something that looked like either he was scratching his ass or un-doing a wedgie for about 5 seconds, then took out a ruler looking thing to clean up the crumbs on the table. That was pretty cool except it took him 5 full seconds to search for that thing from his butt.
I don't recommend this place. I'm going for 2 more times ONLY BECAUSE I have vouchers that I've already paid for. This restaurant is banned from my list after that.
I will try the calamari next time coz it looked pretty good and there are some good reviews about it, definitely will try other dishes!
