The food was good, so why one star? The ambiance was lacking, specifically the music was intrusive. A very loud heavy beat going pound pound pound. It was like sitting next to a car with a loud stereo at a stop light. Seemed very incongruous.
I asked the waitress if it could be turned down, she replied cheerily "sure". Then the manager came over and said it was all or nothing with the music. I requested nothing and he said he couldn't do that.
Appetisers were good, ordered a pasta dish Strozzapreti. Made sure garlic was not included in the ingredients on the menu. I know what would one expect at an Italian restaurant, garlic is common and usually listed. I have a reaction to garlic and avoid it. You guessed the rest, the dish has a normal amount of garlic.
Service was not terrible but far from memorable. My biggest complaint is the loud music.
I have to add the food was good, the experience disappointing.
