We have been wanting to try this place ever since we moved to Waxhaw back in October '15. We got to the restaurant fairly late at night (9pm) and were seated right away. The place has a nice ambience and seemed like it was going to be a great meal. But our disappointment started to begin when the server started to wave the menu at my wife's face to get her attention about the drink order - apparently a simple "excuse me" wasn't on top of mind for him. We got a few salads (Casa and Trattoria) and couple of pasta dishes. Casa salad was drenched in dressing as if it had been prepared for a while. We got our pasta dishes, which were actually fairly tasty. The Eggplant Parmigiana was pretty good and the spaghetti with it was great. The fettuccine Alfredo was pretty descent and flavorful as well. The Gnocchi was kinda hard and a bit bland/tasteless. So two out of our five dishes were disappointing.
Now the ongoing painful service we were receiving throughout the night. We asked our server for straws, which we never got, had to ask him for bread, had to ask for water refills. Additionally, we ordered croutons on the salad, which was a generous charge of $1. I've no problem paying for it, but there were only 4 croutons. To top if off, our server took the liberty of adding 20% tip to our check, for a party of five. Really? Not cool. We won't be making it back here again.
