| - A friend and I decided to grab some coffee late one night last week, and we thought the Sicilian Sidewalk Cafe would be a no-brainer for a place to hang out and catch up over a warm drink. It was nice that the patio was still open, but it felt like it took a really long time for any of the servers to notice we were sitting there waiting for our order to be taken...then we ordered 2 decaf cappuccinos (because it was late) and waited. When the waitress finally brought them to our table, she apologized for them, saying she didn't know how to make them, and that she couldn't find someone to do a better job...I appreciate that it was late, and she was doing her best, but since when is it a superhuman feat to make a cappuccino at a CAFE?! In any case, the cappuccinos were served in glass (??) mugs and honestly tasted like the worst milky coffee. Weak and not at all the quality of coffee you would expect from (a) a cafe, and (b) an Italian cafe, at that!!! By this point we were pretty much just jones-ing for a hot beverage, so we drank them as quickly as possible, paid for them (really? 4.50 including tax for bad coffee?) and got the heck out of there. Unfortunate, because I've heard good things about the place otherwise - maybe a bit overrated these days, riding on laurels of years ago? Won't be going back for coffee, there are too many better places in the area.
