The place has a nice vibe and the staff were friendly. The food we ordered was not very good. The Tuna nicoise-style salad ($16) had a lovely presentation but lacked flavour. The Margherita-style pizza ($12) and excessively salty with the salt overwhelming the tomato flavour. There were only 3 small basil leaves clumped together on the large surface. For some reason the waiter recommended this pizza over the gnocchi. I really wish I had selected the gnocchi or anything else for that matter. The name of the appetizer we ordered escapes my mind. It was these pillowy dough things filled with a cream like cheese. It was probably the best choice of the night although the prosciutto had a weird taste like it was imbibed with other foods from the refrigerator.
Questions I should have asked:
- why did you leave us a small dish of very salty beans on the table with an accompanying small empty dish? Even if we eat the small salty beans there is nothing to discard.
- why tell me this horrible cheap pizza was good? It doesn't compare to a good Margherita. Just tell me what is actually good. I want to eat the good thing.
-why is there no pepper? on the table or freshly ground by the waiter. I would take either.
- Is there supposed to be a complementary bread basket? It looked like most tables had a basket of bread except for ours.
