We arrived at 7:15 pm as the restaurant was opening. The owner greeted us and described the menu and his recommendations. The waitress - the owner’s mother - took our order based on those recommendations. However, and unbeknownst to us, she did not speak, or...understand, English. Unfortunately, we don’t speak Italian. So after finishing our first course and another waiter asked if we wanted dessert, we were confused - our main course had not come. Long story short, the highly touted fish entree was presented more than 40 minutes after the owner straightened out the order.
The second waiter was clueless and kept promising that the entree was coming. We continually had to ask him for it. Meanwhile, another set of diners came in and then left, apparently due to the poor service. We paid our bill and left.
In all fairness, the food was good. The restaurant lacks for competent waitstaff who speak the language of the patrons and don’t misrepresent the status of our meals.
Bottom line: kudos to the chef but unless you have two hours to wait, go somewhere else.More
