| - I went there today with my wife. She had a great fettuccine with tomato sauce the last time she went, so she was very enthusiastic about bringing me here.
Service was very whatever. Nothing outstanding. I don't want to say the service was bad, as the server was friendly.. but the table we sat at wasn't wiped down, they didn't offer us water, and for some reason every other table got bread but ours didn't. Our cutlery and plates were also visibly dirty (not just water stains, but left over red gunk on our plates). No harm, no foul.
My wife had the fettuccine with bolognese sauce. The fettuccine was way over cooked and bolognese sauce was pretty bland. Keep in mind too, she was really looking forward to this, so it was a massive disappointment for her.
I had the fried panzerotti, with just cheese and pepperoni. It was alright. It's hard to mess up fried bread with cheese and pepperoni.
At the end of the day, Cafe Diplomatico is the kind of place that will stay in business solely due to it's location and the heavy foot traffic. Food was decent enough, service was mediocre, and the atmosphere wasn't anything to write home about.
