The goods:
- half off bottle of wine after 8 pm on a Saturday night.
- the service was efficient, friendly and accommodating.
- the fried calamari appetizer was perfect. i dipped it once in the tomato compote then after with the cream sauce. omg crunchy, savory heaven.
- my pasta dish was decent. i kinda wish my rigatoni was cooked more or was a fresh pasta but the sauce made up for what the pasta lacked.
The bad:
- The live music was too loud for a classy restaurant. I'm not saying he was a bad singer, in fact we enjoyed him, however, he should've been playing at a lower decibel. It should be background music, not foreground. We switched our seating to outside so we can have an audible conversation with our company.
- no bread. they ran out of bread on a Saturday night. this was my biggest disappointment. I just don't get how you are an Italian restaurant and run out of bread. It's like having no rice in an Asian restaurant. bad bad bad.
- our company ordered the octopus appetizer and it was hard and not prepared right. he had to return it.
