The food here was really tasty, fresh and good quality. We had 2 dealfind vouchers for $60 each and 5 of us went together.
We had pasta, salmon, salads, and pizzas. Everything tasted good. Now the reason for the 3 stars is because of the wait, I normally expect to spend 2 hours at a restaurant or more for 3 courses. We had appetizers and entrees at Cafe Cinquecento and it for 3 1/2 hours to complete the meal. Between appetizers (Came out almost 5-10 mins after ordering) and our entree was over an hour and a half.
if I was with my gfs and having wine I wouldn't have noticed as much but I wasn't I was with my dad, sis, her fiance, hubby and me. I was driving, as was my dad/ sister so no one ordered any drinks. We were so hungry we asked for multiple bread baskets :s
There service started off good, with the owner coming out and talking to us but that was because the restaurant was practically empty, it eventually filled to capacity. That's when our service disappeared, we had to flag waiters for more water and bread as we continued to wait.
by the time our entrees came no matter how great the food was we didn't really enjoy the rest of the meal due to our ravenous hunger. Everyone was itching to leave and was irritated.
So if a restaurant is going to take part in these online vouchers, please hire the staff to support the "new customers" you are hoping to become regulars.
I would go back for the food if I went with a few friends who had eaten a late lunch and we planned to hang out there the remainder of the night, I can see the darken ambiance being relaxing and fun to chat in.
Maybe better luck next time.
