Valentines dinner was a Table Hôte disappointement….

Were looking forward to the published « on line « menu & went over but instead got 45$ per TH options. (No notice on line prior)

Barely any bread that was never replaced , Caesar salad with no dressing, sent it back & it came back (we rarely ever do this) with more salad & still very little dressing.

Pasta overcooked with seafood the same.

Ossobuco may have had a powder sauce mix… ??? not good.

A Peculiar taste … not sure about it

To be fair this summer on their terrace we had a very good seafood Rizzuto, Caesar Salad, pizza & carbonara pasta,

So will give it another go one day but at 167$ dollars for three ppl this was a Very very dissatisfying meal, & this stings now days.

The Young fellow working was a very nice kid & said new ownership is about 3 years old so our good summer visit hopefully was within this same timeframe as the current management from our recent Feb 2026 visit.

Will give them a second chance because it may have been a one off, but if ANYTHING comes sub par from bread to salad to 1st bite of main; we will have to step up & politely leave.

Money too tight now days so to go out & be dissatisfied like that.

Sorry Al Dente but you asked for an honest review.

Will give you another shot, we fair people

Really not great tasting food. Super disappointing. I ordered the penne Montana with a Caesar salad & my partner ordered penne alla gigi. Let me begin by saying that both our pasta was overcooked. No sauce & it was dry & very bland in taste. The Caesar salad came with burnt croutons & little to no dressing for the salad.

Now I don't understand how you say'fresh pasta' & the pasta is clearly bought from a store & NOT fresh at all. You charge me 15.75$ for a Caesar & say that it comes with anchovies but all I got was a small packet of Caesar dressing that didn't even cover the salad whatsoever. & also, if you're going to advertise'anchovies' with your salad, I'd expect anchovies for a very basic Caesar salad with burnt croutons that came with a wheel of lemon. How do you expect me to squeeze a wheel of lemon ?? Very disappointing. I don't recommend this restaurant at all.

Don't expect refined culinary expression of Italian cuisine. This is wholesome, simple, & traditional cooking. You know? Like your Mom & Aunt would serve. We had a couple of different pizzas, the salsiccia balsamico, a caesar's salad, & a few homestyle soups in minestrone & tortellini. Solid from start to finish. The restaurant has stood the test of time. It's not that spacious & tables are very small. I guess it's been there 40 years, give or take. Tarek was a great server. Bring your own wine.
