| - My second visit wasn't quite as enjoyable as the first. We went with children later than intended on a Saturday evening, and it was quite busy. We were asked if we had reservations, which we didn't, but we were seated right away anyways. We were seated in front of the door, which made for an uncomfortably cold experience.
Our table's appetizer and the children's pizza came at the same time -- a big pet peeve of mine. The appetizer was not very appetizing; the grilled vegetables were cold and mushy and nearly made me gag, but perhaps this is how it's meant to be served. I won't be ordering it again.
A long 20 minutes later, our pasta arrived... but only one dish. I asked the server if the other dish was coming. For some reason, she assumed I had ordered one dish for my girlfriend and I to share. We had both ordered the same dish, and I figure because the restaurant was so loud, the server misinterpreted my hand gesture as me saying we were going to share one dish. She offered to have another one made, but service had already taken much too long, so we just shared the dish.
The food was still very good, although the appetizer was not really to anyone's liking. The pizza was a bit too thin and floppy and very difficult to handle for an adult, let alone a child. Service was extremely slow on this busy night, and the restaurant was very loud.
I'll probably come back some day, but perhaps on a less cold, less busy night. And I'll probably go straight to the main course.
