First off, I wanted to really like this restaurants as it was Mario Batali's but I could not overlook the poor service nor the quality of our meal. \n\n-Two out of the 4 dishes we ordered which were pasta dishes were way undercooked. We all like and know what al dente is but it was definitely inedible. How can such a well known italian restaurant mess up on pasta? \nWe sent the food back right away and when it came out again, the portions were smaller.\n-Two out of the 4 dishes did not taste good at all and 2 were just okay. Most of the dishes (appertizers) were mediocre.\n-Service was poor, as we had to ask for certain items multiple times.\n\nIt was unfortunate as we were celebrating a special occasion and no one really enjoyed their meal. This experience won't deter me from trying other Mario Batali restaurants, but this one in particular i would never come back to nor recommend to anyone."^^ . . "1"^^ . .
