| - Went to a food truck launch and ended up at Pizzeria Geppetto across the street with a friend !
This place is quite charming and the food is pretty good but the service was like we say in french ''Laisse à désirer'' which means could have been much better.
My first impression of the place was the decoration : intimate, cozy and romantic feel with vintage furniture and low lighting. I love many details, the fact that you could see a part of the kitchen from most tables is pretty cool and booth banquet seats are always a plus for me! Oh there is also a very nice patio outside for summer days/evening!
Now about the food ! The menu offered a variety of pasta and pizza dishes with some interesting entrees and a wine selection : Typical italian place or at least what most people would expect. I ordered a pizza called Americana which was a pretty standard with tomato sauce, green peppers, cheese, mild soppressata (type of salami which i abstained from) and Mushrooms - which was the main reason why i ordered it. The pizza was a pretty big size for one person but anyone can easily finish it because it didn't have that ''heavy-greasy'' feeling that most fast food pizza's have nowadays. The dough was the tastiest in my opinion, you could sense it was an oven wood pizza . My friend only took an entree, the grilled octopus which was served with chickpea puree - THAT was really delicious and i'm not usually a fan of sea food but i would go back to that place just for that one dish. A must try.
The thing that made me give it 3 starts instead of 4 was the general atmosphere of the place. It was so very busy, waiters were running right and left and it seemed to exist some type of disorganization. My friend and i arrived and waited behind 2 girls to be seated, they had a reservation and were seated after a few mins. After that we waited for about 10 mins at the entree before a man who worked there approached us to ask us if we had been previously approached, we told them no and specified we would like a seat for two and did not have a reservation. The man nodded and left and we waited....& waited....& waited all the while waiters were walking passed us without any acknowledgement. The man who previously spoke to us never came back and we had to stop a waiter in his tracks while he was rushing past us to ask once again if we could have a seat, he then told us finally YES and we were seated within 5 mins.
I would go back if ever i'm craving that grilled octopus or maybe just to give it one more chance. Overall this place has great potential but could really benefit from better service especially at the reception area.
