We visited Osteria Dei Ganzi with a group of 13 people on July 5th. We had a reservation and waited about 5 minutes for our table to be put together, which is acceptable.
Once seated we were given the Summerlicious menu, which was a three course set menu at $25 and were told that we MUST order from it as we were a larger group. I asked the hostess how large groups order when it is not Summerlicious and she stated from the regular menu. I suggested that we should be able to do the same and our request was accommodated.
I ordered the Ganzi Insalata Dell 'Orto salad and added chicken. When the salad came out it was soooo tiny and was made with a pinch of mixed greens, candied walnuts, croutons, asiago cheese with house dressing. There was also suppose to be pancetta croccante however there was none on my salad, which I only realised as I re-read the menu to write this review. The amount of chicken was so small, over cooked and tasted like grilled cardboard. As I was a bit shocked at the small size, I asked our server if this was $17 dollar salad I had ordered He promptly took it back to the kitchen and returned with a slightly larger salad.
I also had the White Lady *5 cocktail which was good but very small. Also, it did not have orange liquor in it.
Everyones food came out at different times and rest of our group expressed that their meals were also mediocre at the very best.
Our server was fine and to be honest I felt bad that he works here.
There are so many wonderful restaurants in this city I highly suggest that you do not waste your time visiting Ganzi.
