| - I can't help but feel this Restaurant has fooled many.
While I've read the food described as "Authentic Italian," I felt it was anything but. I've been to Italy, and this ISN'T Italian...
I suppose the entire visit was lackluster. The decor had a lot to be desired, but the wait staff were great.
However, once we ordered wine (and, by the old menu at least, were supposed to receive the standard 4oz glass) things went downhill. While we were savoring the tiny portion in our glasses, the bartender was doing his best to overfill the glasses of the pretty girls at the bar. When questioned, we were told "they asked for doubles." Who orders a double Merlot?
We chose what appeared to be a special at the time: a smoked duck panini.
What arrived at the table was a glorified ham and cheese sandwich. No, I'm not complaining about the sandwich itself, but they had substituted ham instead of smoked duck, then claimed that I wouldn't know the difference.
I'm not sure if it was just this visit or the one that followed that biased me, but I'll never return.
