| - My boyfriend and I went here on a Groupon, which indicated reservations were required. When we arrived at the restaurant, we wondered why it was a requirement, since there were only maybe 3 other couples in the restaurant. Granted, it was a Sunday night, but still, it was a little quiet in there.
The atmosphere was nicely decorated, but still, it was too quiet for us to feel comfortable talking in anything much more than a whisper.
Our server was a bit too clingy and sweet. She kept saying, "thank you very much, thank you so much" after everything; after sitting down and handing us our menu, after ordering, after removing the dishes, after placing the bill on the table. She was just a little off-putting. There was another waiter there, and he seemed genuine and friendly, and normal, but alas, our experience with him was only for him to remove some of our dishes.
When we decided on an appetizer, the beef carpaccio, and when we requested it, the waitress responded with a weak sounding, "Oh, I don't have that." There was no apology, or suggestion for another menu item, or an explanation. So we decided on the escargot, and in the meantime, some semi-burned, or over-toasted bread arrived. It was okay to soak up the spinach sauce that came with the already de-shelled escargot (they took away my favorite part!). They were okay, but nothing spectacular.
My boyfriend got the seafood pasta special, which again, was just okay. I had the stuffed pork chop with baked fingerling potatoes, and while the pork chop was delicious, the potatoes were too salty. Both dishes came with soup or salad, and I got the vegetable lentil soup, which was quite tasty. The salad was nothing special.
Dessert was house-filled cannoli, and a mascarpone cheesecake. Both desserts were pretty good, but not spectacular. Two shots of complimentary sambuca, arrived with dessert. The sambuca was tasty, but too strong for my liking.
When we received the check, the waitress said, "Thanks so much, and have a good evening," but we hadn't even paid! We finally paid the remaining balance after several minutes, and left.
The thing that left a bad taste in our mouths after we left, was that they charged our cards incorrectly (we had split the bill). Extra charges showed up on my statement for about a week, including $70 of extra charges. Eventually, the correct charges appeared, but it was just one more thing that felt a little off about the evening.
Maybe if the meal wasn't quite so expensive, and the service wasn't so awkward, Tutti Santi on Greenfield would have been a much better experience. Next time, I'll go to Christos.
