We were really looking forward to some high end Italian food having just moved to the neighborhood. Based on great rating an reviews this place looked like a winner.
We called for an early reservation and arrived with wife and two kids. The place was deserted but it was early.
A woman came out and upon seeing two children proceeded to treat us like we had the plague. She kept saying "you know we don't have pizza?" And rather than seating us she brought us menus and asked us to look at them bc we had kids. Yeah, I know this isn't Chuck E Cheese.
I was shocked at the rudeness. I've been to Italian places all over the world and they are always warm and inviting an focused on family. If its Saturday night and 8pm I get it...don't bring kids. 5:30 on a Thursday with an empty restaurant?
It's a real shame this kind of pretentious snobbery exists especially for a restaurant with an empty parking lot all night. I know it was empty bc we went next door where my daughter had linguine alla vongole...and was MAD she couldn't have escargot, her favorite dish.
