Embarrassing disappointment! Hosted 4 friends from out of town, who expressed desire for good Italian food. Checked Yelp reviews; even asked couple of different friends who lived in Oakville, who gave thumbs up.
They were all wrong. Supposed Pernod sauce on Bass special was thick and bland, linguine was mushy and veal spezzatino was fatty. There was some spice included that left poor aftertaste.
My guests would certainly not have insulted me by complaining, and I was not going to make a scene in front of them, but I was very embarrassed, as I had selected your place.
Owner/manager was very friendly and kind, and service was efficient and friendly, but not polished.
I actually emailed an apology to my friends next day, saying I would not go back to this restaurant. They agreed with me!
I had originally chosen Julia or Ritorno; should have gone with those choices.
Gave one star because "no stars' not offered as an option.
