| - Had the pleasure of dining here last evening on clelbration of my wife's birthday. Food was fabulous..try the veal dishes (Marsala and Picatta) and the Mushroom Soup (Zuppa di Fungi) peppery and just the right amount of spice. Reminds us of dining in Providence , RI. Service was great, Boris, our waiter was most attentive and helpful in making our menu choices. Nice romantic atmosphere, white table cloths, the works.
Now why I rated with 4 stars and not 5 to no fault of the restaurant or staff.
The table next to us was a different story and almost ruined a nice romantic dinner. The couple get seated, a middle-aged couple, (he was wearing a ball cap and once removed the was balding) guessing both in their early 50's. Then they both start on their mobile phones..ugh. Not once did they stop..searching the web, making calls, receiving calls, etc. HOW DAMN RUDE. Plus it was obvious they had a GroupOn for $40 and tried to stay in that limit and order food to go. When the food came he (Mr. Bald Cap) bitched at his wife for ordering the food. Well if he was off his phone long enough he could have figured out what she ordered. GEEZ. The meal continued both on their phones. So I requested the bill and even commented to the Boris the waiter how rude they were and he said that was normal behavior today...NOT ACCEPTABLE PEOPLE. I thought this ugly, rude behavior was limited to our Millenials (our children) BUT NO it is now so prevalent in our older society it is out of control.
Bottom line of the review...do to Va Bene and enjoy a nice meal with great service and tell the people next to you to turn off their DAMN phones for an hour.
