My husband bought a deal off Living Social for La Focaccia earlier in the year and decided to use it last night. So the two of us and a friend make the short trek. Let me start off by saying the only thing good about the visit was the pizza. And that was the last thing we experienced.
The service was HORRIBLE! Our server was slower than slow plus he simply kept forgetting about us. We got a bottle of the Chef's Special which was some Merlot that was disgusting. I tried a sip and sent it back. Our server said he would get out a few different wines and let me sample them. 25 minutes later, I'm still waiting for my wine. He comes by finally with a bottle of Chianti and I ended up liking it. BUT HE STILL CHARGED ME! I'm sorry but if you make me wait that long, I deserve a free glass of wine. Or a free bottle. Or both. :)
We ordered the Antipasto x2 to start off with. The bruschetta was alright. The eggplant parmigiana was ok but it was very cold. The roasted red peppers were good. The olives were extremely salty as was the buffalo mozzarella. The one thing that irked me the most was that they gave us TWO PIECES OF SALAMI. Really? 2 pieces? UGHHHH. Totally overpriced for what we got.
They have a calzone on the menu that has crushed tomatoes, ham, salami, ricotta and fontina (i think). We made those the toppings on the pizza and it was pretty good. All three of us enjoyed it.
Oh I forgot something. So after we are done with the antipasto "platter", I ask my husband and friend if we were supposed to get bread like all the other tables around us. I ask our server and he says "I guess so". WHAT? What kind of answer is that?
Let me just clarify that the one star is for the pizza. Nothing else deserves a star. NOTHING!
I'm not going back. EVER. I don't care if they have pizza slices for $2. I'm not going back. I don't care if they released another coupon on Crowd Savings today. I'm not going back!!!!
