We went to Biaggi's with a family group of seven celebrate two birthdays on an early Sunday evening. The place was mostly empty when we arrived. We stopped at the bar while we waited for the rest of our party to arrive and ordered two drinks. It took more than ten minutes to get the drinks as the bartender excused himself right after we ordered to bring a take out order to someone who had just arrived.
Once we got to our table we were greeted by two friendly waitstaff. Bread was wonderful. Calamari appetizer was also good. My Caesar salad arrived with a dead fly on one of the pieces of lettuce. When I pointed it out to the waiters, they took it immediately and sent the manager over. He apologized and said that the kitchen was replacing all the lettuce and there would be no charge for the salad and would I still like a salad. I took a new salad. No fly on this one. Caesar dressing was heavy on the garlic, so sharp tasting that my husband wouldn't share. My scallops with risotto was wonderful. Two family members had lasagna and said it was okay, but not the best.
Dessert was offered, but we declined as my daughter had baked a cake for the birthdays. No mention of a restaurant offered birthday dessert was mentioned. Bill came and the only discount was the free salad due to the fly. Bill was not split as had been asked for initially.
Overall, good food but we really expected better. We were clearly disappointed that the only discount offered due to the dead fly stuck to the salad was that the salad would be free! A free drink or meal discount would have been more than appropriate. Also disappointed that there was not an offer to celebrate our birthdays. We will head elsewhere for Italian and birthday celebrations next time.
