| - Mediocre restaurant. Sat down to a busy restaurant for a Wednesday night. The restaurant is staffed (perhaps overstaffed) with young people running around, but not doing too much.
The hostess sat us right away, and was very nice. She even had a recommendation when asked about the food. However, we sat there for 10 to 15 minutes while waiting for a glass of water or any server to even pay attention to us.
Server was nice enough, but poorly trained. Didn't know to get water right away. When the food came (pizza and arancini) I had to flag down a server (5 minutes of waving at workers - not exagerrating) just to get a plate. My wife wanted some bread with her pasta. I noticed that all the other tables had bread, so I asked my server how much a plate of bread cost. He responded it was free and asked if we wanted some.
The food was decent, but nothing special. I ordered the eggplant pizza (special) and arancini. Wife got seafood maladine (pasta). Pizza tasted okay, but all of tthe toppings came off every slice in the first small bite, which means I mostly ate crunchy bread with tomato sauce residue. The arancini was awesome. The arancini was awesome. (I wrote this twice on purpose. Pay attention.)
Wife's pasta with squid ink was mostly tasteless. I put my nose into the dish and couldn't even smell any seafood.
We thought about dessert, but the entire meal felt like a failed first date, where nothing is really wrong, but it's not right either. You just don't feel any chemistry. We decided to quit while we weren't completely regretful. We left.
In summary: Get the arancini appetizer!!! Then leave.
