I am a huge fan of Jamie Oliver, so when I heard about this restaurant I was very excited to try it. However, I was deeply disappointed. The restaurant is no better than any other Italian place around the corner.
First they don't take reservations after 5 pm from Thursday to Saturday, so please don't go with a party of 10 or over since you will probably have to wait for at least an hour like my party of 15 had to. We called the restaurant ahead of time to confirm if they could seat a party of 15 on a Saturday at 7 pm. On the phone, they said yes but forgot to mention the fact that we would have to sit on 3 different tables. Now that's just ridiculous! Why would I want to come with a party of 15 and sit on 3 different tables. They should have made that clear on the phone so then I would have gone somewhere else.
Second, the food lacked flavour. Please don't order the Bruschetta. It's a tiny piece of bread for $10, and the bread was hard to bite in. The pastas lacked flavour and the portions were a good size.
The service was good.
Also 18% tip is automatically charged for party of 10 or over. So just be aware of that.
Overall, I will not go to the restaurant again because the food is not worth the price.
