| - Mediocre at best. We were super excited to try this new italian restaurant in our neighborhood. Here is how our experience went; we arrived at 745pm, there was ONE other table seated that owner was speaking with, he did not acknowledge us, and a waiter came out 5 minutes later and sat us.
We asked for water. The waiter mentioned that they were out of house wine and would be substituting it with Franzia red wine (from the box), and proceeded to mention that it is the same wine that college students get drunk on and he would recommend a bottle. Why not substitute a better wine for the house wine you are out of??
Bread came out-housemade and good! We asked for water again.
Our wine came out (not Franzia), we asked for water again--still waiting on this.
Our meals arrived and mine was probably the worst eggplant dish I have ever had. The sauce was very good on the pasta, my husband had the chicken parmigiana and said it was average. I asked the chef if this dish was supposed to be this way (as it was really not the same as any other eggplant dish I've had, and he said that was normal).. It was $40 for 2 dishes and one glass of wine without tip.
While we are now the only table in the restaurant, the waiter is NOISILY cleaning silverware and throwing it in the dish pan, and the dishwasher is running in the back, so much for our romantic date night.
Our waters were never refilled, took 15 minutes to get our check--we are the ONLY table in the entire restaurant!
We will not be back and will not recommend this place to anyone.
