Tourist in town looking to have a bit with friends in little Italy. This was basically a love hate situation. A surly old man asked if we had a reservation at 5:00 for the empty restaurant. He responded with a sarcastic "uh okay then" and immediately sat us at the closest table to the door (where outside it was raining). Through the meal he was short. The food was FANTASTIC. The blonde host was so sweet. Once the regulars arrived (a little over an hour later) we were ignored and couldn't pay our check until 6:30. He seemed to be on pleasant terms with all his other tables.Finally he came over and asked if we were ready after we had asked the host multiple times for our checks. He promptly took off after we said yes but before we could ask to split it. After he dropped the check off we asked if he could split it. With a loud sigh he walked off without a word. We paid then left. I would happily give a higher rating if not for the grumpy individual.
