| - I was really looking forward to this place based on the reviews, but am really disappointed.
Our server took our order first, then warned us that it would be a long wait due to the big party in the back. It's a little thing, but if he told us before we ordered, maybe we wouldn't have felt as obliged to stay. Anyhow, we were ignored for the entire hour and change that we waited until our appetizers arrived. At one point our waters were empty and I had to go up to my server to ask him for a refill. A lady from another table came up to the server at the same time, and commiserated with me. If it's going to be a long wait, at least come by to check that everything is OK, or provide some bread or something.
On to the food -- after over an hour, the appetizers arrived. We got the Calamari Fritti and Caprese salad. Both were pretty good, but we were so hungry at that point anything would have tasted good. The mains we got were the Fresh Fettuccine ai Funghi with
Homemade Lamb Sausage, Wild Mixed Mushrooms in a Light Cream Sauce, and the Frutto Di Mare Pizza with Calamari, Mussels, Clams & Shrimp. My date had the fettuccine, and it was good but she was disappointed with the 3 tiny pieces of sausage she got. My pizza was very sad looking. It was very, very sparsely topped with seafood. There was 1 shrimp cut in half to look like 2, maybe 3 pieces of calamari and 6 pieces of clams/mussels. My date commented that it looked more like a pizza with tomato sauce than a seafood pizza. For $21 I expected more. I was super unhappy with it, but was so hungry that I ate it anyway.
At no point did a server come by to ask us how everything was, or do anything to make us feel better about the long wait. A comped drink or dessert would have gone a long way and made us feel less miserable about our date night.
