Went on Xmas Eve with friends at the last minute. Called for a reservation and said ok I will take the reservation at 8, the hostess says to me "you gonna show up'? ??? Uh Yeah....Get there and of course I had to make a snarky comment that in fact we did show up. While the food was good didnt think it was the best Italian as others have said. When the waiter asked if I wanted parmesan cheese he didnt ask my friend so I asked if he would like some. The waiter then preceded to tell me that they dont put parm on that dish (clams and pasta) but he would and hope Gaetano wasnt looking. As a foodie I know that big name chefs dont put parm on fish but I didnt think we were at Spago or Mario Batalis. This is not an upscale place but I think it wants to be. It tries hard to be something its not.
