The food was worthy of 4 stars, but it took forever to get it!
Yeah the menu items were creative, but not mind-blowing, and honestly the portions were a bit small for the high cost. There was really nothing on the menu that was appropriate for children, so it was complaints all around. My husband found nothing on the menu that he wanted, probably because there weren't any authentic Italian dishes-- everything was complicated and complex, which is NOT how food is prepared in Italy.
The questionable food, plus the excessive wait, can only mean one thing: Average. Hence, 3 stars.
