We were excited to try Vaticano's for the Summerlicious menu. They called to confirm our reservations about 2 hours prior to our actual reservation which I thought was odd. I had ordered the Caesar salad, veal chop and apple crumble. The Caesar salad was good, the veal chop was very big and delicious (though it came with no side just some vegetables underneath it). I like to have pasta with my veal so I ordered a side plate of penne in a rose sauce. The pasta was not served at the same time as the veal and when I did get it was not even cooked al dente, not even warm and definitely not worth the $7 I paid for it. The apple crumble was truly a disappointment as it looked like something you can get from M&M's, the grocery store or Chudleigh's farm. I expected homemade apple crumble!
My friend ordered the mussels, the pan-seared fillet of bass and the mixed berry cheesecake. The mussels were good as well as the cheesecake but the bass was served and there were still bones in it that my friend had to pick out!!!
The service was exceptional (although it seemed we didn't have one specific waiter but many).
By looking at the restaurant online I expected much more. It was ok but nothing I would particularly rave about.
