We were apprehensive walking into an empty restaurant during prime time but gave it a try based on their google reviews. By the end of the night, we all regretted waking into this restaurant. I am compelled to inform other patrons about this establishment because their review ratings do not match up at all.
To start with, our server brought us a rosé without ever mentioning that the only rosé they have is sparkling rosé. And when asked for a specific cocktail, she was overwhelmed and couldn't relay the proper drink to the bartender. Well, perhaps our server is new and so we decided to move on without getting the drinks we wanted.
We ordered house salad and steamed mussels and clams as an appetizer. Salad was overwhelmingly acidic and drenched in their house dressing. Mussels and clams were not fresh. They were overly cooked and dried out. I ordered their house specialty seafood risotto and to my dismay, it was so awful. All the dishes were plated nicely but don’t be fooled by the looks. Everything else in the mix did not taste fresh. Scallops were the worst. It was inedible like rubbery pieces. It tasted almost like some of the shellfish were cooked days ahead and got thrown into the seafood mix. I expect quality food when I’m spending $42 for a plate.
To our biggest dismay, pasta dishes were overcooked and not even worth writing about. We were so dumbfounded judging by the reviews on google. We expect reasonable food quality for a 4.5 rating. This establishment did nothing for us. My husband is Italian American and I’ve traveled and lived in Italy for months. I think I can safely convey what decent Italian food should taste like. Italians are so proud of their food and they’ll be ashamed that this restaurant even exists.
