Made a reservation to three different Italian restaurants approximately 5 days in advance. Based on photos from the website, along with recommendations from colleagues, this place was supposed to be something special. I canceled the other two reservations. BTW, this is valentines 2025.
I arrived on time for my 545 seating, greeted kindly at the door sent to the host/hostess podium for checking in. Then, I was taken to the basement/dungeon while I observed several empty tables on the main floor with what seemed beautiful for the brief moment I was allowed to look at it. Then, after being seated, I was told that I had an hour to get out. Okay, I replied. So we quickly ordered two drinks, hurriedly ordered an app, and then shortly thereafter, ordered my main courses. Sat and waited patiently for what seemed significantly long for the appetizer to arrive. I was then offered, if I would like some sourdough bread, approximately 25 minutes after being seated. I'm just about to dip my bread into the olive oil,out comes our meals. I ask, the person bringing the meals, 'you' bringing the apps together with the mains?' The person looked confused. The server steps in just standing behind me, said 'there was no appetizer'. In an unapologetic manner, she says she didn't order the appetizer and asked if I still cared for it, I responded no thank you. My partner liked her dish, (Cod) BTW, it's not a meal, you'll need to order a side choice of two things potatoes and I'm not sure the other thing, If I were you, try the other thing. My dish was Tagliolini Ai Gamberi E Bottarga, my homemade pasta was, "al dente", really al dente, who knows, I'm not Italian, maybe this was intended to be cooked this way. Regardless, after visiting Italy on a few occasions, I've never had pasta this uncooked. The shrimp tasted pretty good. Then the server asked if we wanted dessert. It's on the house . looked at my watch, 5 minutes left, okay,Isaid. She screwed up free desert.
