There are times when Yelp reviews let me down, and this was a perfect example.
I came with family, telling them that there was a new Italian spot at GVR and that we should check it out. The decor of the space looked nice and thought out. The service staff was ok, and they seemed relatively on their game. But the food here was lacking in every way possible. I ordered a carbonara which may not have been on the menu but was said the be prepared by the chef. If your an Italian trained chef a carbonara should be relatively easy. It came out just ok, a bit too thick but it was edible. My grandmother had the short rib that everyone seems to rave about, and it was certainly not edible. VERY dry, and the worst part is my grandmother tried to power through it because she didn't want to complain. I tried it, and asked hows shes eating it and her reply was that shes hungry but couldn't do it any more. I was embarrassed to have taken them to a new place and it failed me to the point where i had people at my table forcing themselves through their meal. I will not return, nor can i figure out how there are such high marks for this place.
