Four of us dropped in for dinner last night and were very underwhelmed (disappointed) with the food. The evening would have been a complete write off if it had not been for our waiter. He was warm, friendly and a pleasure to deal with.
One small issue....one of the people dining with us was on a tight budget so she wanted to spend her money on food, rather than drinks. She ordered a water and was asked if she wanted sparkling or flat. She asked for flat...and was brought a large bottle of Fiji water (which was the cost of a mixed drink). Not cool.
We ordered:
1 Fagioli al Forno (Kidney beans in garlic and olive oil) -
2 Insalata alla Cesare (Caesar Salads) (very good)
1 Penne a la Vodka - I tasted this and thought "meh...I've had better". It was very al dante
1 Salsiccic in Padella - Sausage with potatoes - sausage was the kind you can get at No Frills...it was pretty tasteless
1 Vitello ai Funghi - Veal scaloppini in brandy sauce - the person who ordered this said it was too sweet
1 Agnolotti - Ricotta filled Agnolotti in a red pasta sauce (which tasted like Chef Boyarde sauce from a can - it was pretty bad)
We all agreed the best part of the meal was the pizza which was brought out instead of bread. It was lightly brushed with olive oil, garlic and some herbs. It was very good.
All in all it was a disappointing meal. We will not be returning.
Cost for dinner for 4, including a Diet Coke, and half litre of Pinot Grigio (tax in) was $145.
