| - Went to Parma last night for dinner, first time. Went based on Yelp and other reviews being outstanding. It was disappointing. Got there just before they reopened at 5:05. Were seated fairly quickly, being we were the only customers, but the person who seated us seemed put out because we didn't have a reservation. One server took our orders (we had 3 serve us, the original was started serving a party and just ignored us) and disappeared, only saw him once until the check, which he delivered after we asked for it. We got the appitizer of portabello mushrooms with spinich and melted cheese--was VERY GOOD, but delivered by another server. I was thinkiing this was going to be as good as the reviews. This is when the service deteriorated. Our drinks were empty from the time the app came until our entrees, mine a full 3 minutes before the rest of the table was served their entrees. I got the special, veal over brocolini, tasty but not remarkably so. The side of fettucini with sunday sauce was plain, not much taste. My wife had the ravioli, sauce runny, ravioli need to bathe in the boiling water for another minute or two, very very aldente and overall plain. Another in our party got the lasagna, said was plain lasagna nothing special. The overall meal was just plain, not much flavor to the food, except the app. Service was spotty at best. I rated a 3 because of the app and my entree, would have been a 2 for service and the other entrees. Sorry to burst the 5 star bubble for some, but I call them as I see them. For the money I will go to Carrabas.
