| - I stayed at the hotel near Caffe & Cucina, and it seemed like a clean, homey place. It has a euro cafe feel with the modern interior and tables outside (on a main street mind you). They also have a fireplace in the back to make it cozy.
The first time I went, it was pretty good. I ordered a Caesar salad and pizza. The salad was absolutely drenched in dressing (which was bland and off-tasting at the same time). The pizza was pretty good, although for a $14 personal size pizza, the toppings were quite skimpy. However, it was pretty tasty and cheesy. The crust was thick and crusty...I happen to like that. The portions were pretty large, and I had enough for a second meal.
I liked it enough that I went a second time. I figured since it was my last day there, I'd stick with what I knew. I got there around 11 AM, and I ordered the pizza with pepperoni instead of sausage this time. This time, they were totally unprepared for lunch. My table was dirty, and they actually served toast instead of dinner bread. The pizza took 30 minutes, and the pepperoni and crust were still undercooked. I only ate maybe 2 slices and left the rest. I was so disappointed.
It seems like a convenient, OK place for locals to grab a quick lunch, but that's all of the potential I see for this place. They are spotty with the food quality and service. I wouldn't go back.
