| - This place feels Italian, looks like a great place for dinner... and then disappoints in every possible way.
The short version: overpriced, terribly RUDE service, and bland food will definitely keep me away from this restaurant.
We visited this place to celebrate having family in town. What better place to celebrate family than in an Italian restaurant, am I right? Well, today I was sadly mistaken.
The place was half empty despite being a busy Saturday in the Venetian. We were seating immediately after our arrival and an older waiter came to our table to drop off the menus as well olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Not the friendliest of greetings, but I let it slide.
While we were waiting to decide on our meal, I asked our waiter for some bread (thought it was odd we got the oil and vinegar, but no bread) to which he abruptly replied "bread comes to the table after you place your order". What's this all about? Was he afraid we were going to dine on free bread and water?!? Anyways, we then placed he order and things got really awkward.
After waiting for our food for a few minutes, the waiter came to our table, literally dropped my girlfriends plate in front of her from about an inch above the table top, and set my plate as well as my brothers. He left without a word.
Upon a closer look of my dish, something seemed off with the ingredients, but before asking I thought I would try it. This dish was bland, tasted of canned sauce and was not what I had ordered. Before I could even say anything, the waiter rushed to my table, took the fork from my hand and then pulled my dish of the table... without saying a single word.
That was it for me. I raised my voice and asked him what was going on only to hear him utter the words "the chef made a mistake, I'm fixing it". While I appreciate him trying to fix it, his gross demeanor and terrible attitude interrupted the mood in the table, and upset everyone. To add insult to injury, the manager came over and tried to brush the incident off by justifying the waiters behavior and telling me not to worry about it. Not worry about it? Why would I be worried? I didn't do anything wrong!!!!
The worst part of all? The manager was within feet of our table the whole time, and he apparently knows this waiter is terrible.
DO NOT VISIT THIS PLACE!!!
