| - After I posted my first review, Ufficio reached out and apologized for the experience I had. They were very gracious and asked if I would be willing to return, and considering that I enjoyed the food, I was interested in returning.
Several weeks ago I returned with a friend, and I was excited to see how the kinks had been ironed out. My friend and I are not big on cocktails, but we do enjoy beer, so immediately we looked for the beer options on the menu. The beer menu is pretty limited, but there was one beer that interested us, so we ordered it. And I kid you not, I thought they were pulling my leg when they said they were out of the beer we chose (deja vu!) So my friend and I settled for a beer they had in stock.
In terms of the food, we decided to get the gnocchi and their special - a whole baked fish with cherry tomatoes, peppers and herbs. It also came with a side of potatoes.
I actually preferred the food during my first visit - the gnocchi was served in a cream sauce, not tomato, and though the fish was tasty, the bones became tedious to remove.
Close to the end of our meal my friend asked for another beer - and guess what? They were out of it too. Apparently we got the last two. However, minutes later we were told that they actually weren't out, but they were warm. We said we were ok with that. But rather than drink warm beer, the bartender came over with two pints of cold beer to make up for the trouble - great touch!
In sum, some of the issues continue to persist (I.e. running out of items on the menu), but rather than feel completely disappointed, I appreciate how hard they are trying to make it up to to their patrons.
I am confident that the next time I return, they will have every item on their menu. :)
