| - Us: "Cheers! Yay for yummy food, wine, and good times!" (as we scarf down our amazing food)
Waiter: "You're done with your plate, right? Grazie." (as we're still picking at our plates)
Us: "Uhhh, sure..." (as the waiter takes our food away)
Manager: (stares at us and hovers over our table every 3 minutes)
Us: (stare back at him while we're trying to have a good time)
Us: (finish our wine and conversation, and get up to leave the table)
Manager: "Oh, grazie, grazie! Come again, come again." (as he sweeps off our table and gets ready to seat another group)
Us: "WTF was that?!" (as our faces contort out of confusion and frustration)
Everything started off really well with the super-cute "it's like i'm in an Italian family's kitchen" setting, the waiter's charming accent, and the aroma of garlic and bread. Food was yummy, that's for sure. BUT service started to decline during the middle of our meals when the staff started playing a game of clean-up.
It was amusing, but irritating at the same time. I totally understand the restaurant business and the need to turn over tables to seat new people, but don't push the damn people out, sheesh!
I will likely not be back to this place. Bummer.
