What happened?! – I used to visit fairly regularly. I admit, haven't been in a couple of years. Now, I will never go back. The food was passable - at best. The service was among the worst I've ever experienced. With so many restaurants in this city - and in this neighborhood, why would anyone pay for this. Waiters didn't know what they serve and the bussers - oh my. After refilling my water glass from the other side of the table and spilling water on me and the table, he apologized but did the exact same thing to my friend o... read more
WOST service BEFORE the menus! – Tonight my boyfriend and I went here for dinner. We wanted to sit outside, and a waiter told us to sit anywhere we would like. We choose an end table and get bread, cutlery, and ask for menus. I go to the bathroom and come back, and my boyfriend tells me that he got a hard time. He said someone came over and said that he couldn't sit there because he wasn't seated. I asked another waiter, what's going on and he told me to talk to the guy in the 'green shirt'-the manager. I asked him what's go... read more
When the manager & waiters cannot determine whether one plate is veal & the other chicken – -- would YOU be confident about eating at a place again? We certainly would not, and we will not eat there again: two of our dishes came out, one veal the other chicken (in a group with two other entrees) and they both were so covered in a tomato paste and with the exact same sidedishes that the waiters could not determine which was which (after, by the way, putting it in front of someone who had ordered something else). The taste was... read more
Horrible service and they tried to sneak in a 21% tip. Food was utterly maudlin; stale bread. – The only thing going for it is the location, close to theatres. And that is why they stay in business, we bet, because otherwise it is really hard to see why anyone would continue to patronize them after the initial experience. We say this as a couple who eats at many restaurants around the city and around the country (including significant international travel). In our view, if you have to eat close to your Bway show, grab pizza ... read more
Nastissimo!!!! – Well, let's see.... the pollo was something i could have made when i was ten by over-baking a chicken breast and dumping spiced ketchup on it. and the risotto...oh my. the margherita pizza was nothing but cheese pizza, and even as cheese pizza, it was foul. so, in general...the food here is....as my friend put it, "molto grosso". Absolumente.
What happened to this restaurant? – I used to really like it here -- but after dinner last night, I doubt whether I'll return. Not too crowded, but had to wait forty-five minutes for our entrees. People at the next table came in fifteen minutes after us, but were served before us. Pasta I had was decent (agnolotti with lamb), but the portion was so small it was laughable. Not sure what happened here, but I miss the Pietrasanta of a few years ago.
In a word...yuck – I would not recommend this place for italian food. It does not appear to be authentic italian cuisine but an experimentation of italian style. Worst of all the pasta that I ordered with clams came with 7 large clams that were tough and chewy, were in the shell, and the whole dish was so saltly that it was inedible. Rather than create a scene with my friends and send the dish back I just didn't eat it. This was definitely not worth the $35 I paid for dinner. My italian mother recommends le tre venezie inste... read more
great food, great value! – I've been coming to this restaurant for nearly 12 years, since I found out the owners are the same folks who own my verry favority NYC restaurant, Pietrasanta (up the street at 47th). The food is fresh and varied, great use of herbs and seasonings, WONDERFUL sweet potato fries, and the weekend brunch - $9.95 for beverage (including wine or cocktail) and entree from two dozen-plus selections, or $12.95 with dessert - is unbeatable. Make a reservation on weekends or at pre-theatre times. We try to ge... read more
RUDE!! RUDE!! RUDE!!! – It was 7:45 PM and they had a special that starts at 8 PM. When I asked the host if we could have the special he said absolutely not. It starts at 8PM. When I asked him why, he kept cutting me off and not letting me ask a question AT ALL!! Then he said he grew tired of this and didn't have time for me to talk to him. He cut me off 5 times and then practically shooed me away. For standard pasta, in which I've been to this place before, it is not worth it. I was surprised by my second visit and will nev... read more
