This was my first time eating at this "authentic" Italian restaurant. I feel confident in my decision to make it the last time. I should have known walking in it was going to be a painful night. The bartender/waitress/decorator unenthusiastically glared up from behind the bar, cluing me in on the mood she was in. We were seated without a word and stayed put for 10 minutes before being asked for drinks. I ordered a diet coke ($2.50) which was actually half a can and was never refilled, neither was my water. The place was practically empty and the people who were seated after us were served long before. The food took 45 minutes to come out and boy was it worth the wait! The calimari was dry and chewy, the pasta was bland and tasted like it was boiled in the box. For anyone who can cook spaghetti (opening the box is optional apparently) invite some friends over, dont say a word to them and charge them 60 bucks for bad food because there is obviously a future in it. As bad as the food was the service was even worse. Not a thank you or a youre welcome all night. Not even a how is everything? Our table was left cluttered and we had to stack the plates just to make room for our entrees. Our tables werent even touched (including water/drink refills, plate removal, etc...) If authentic italian means the worst service and the most tasteless food imaginable then yes this is authentic! Perfect example of why a tip should be optional, maybe even the entire check.
Cons: Everything
