We had just come from the alley theatre on Valentine's day, and we were famished, so we headed to Birraporettis for dinner where we had reservations. We were an hour early from our reservation time but the hostess was nice enough to seat us right away. Our server was named JAMIE an older bald gentleman w/ a go-t and black rimmed glasses. To start we both ordered Peroni's and asked for an order of calamari. He brought my husband his Peroni (italian beer) but didn't bring me the one I ordered, and preceded to tell me that I shook my head when he asked what I wanted, then asked if we wanted to start w/an appetizer when we already asked for calamari!! We were very insulted. So then we finally get our calamari (20 min later) & he tried 2 explain that the theatre crowd just let out not even thinking that we were or could be part of that crowd and that he was confused by the menu which only had 9 dinners on it, oh and he only had 4 tables!!! After we ate the calamari he cleared off the table including my husband's silverware so we had 2 share silverware 2 eat our salads! In the meantime the tables around us were getting great service their drinks and salads are coming out @ much faster pace. I wanted a 2nd beer which I never got from Jamie so I had 2 go 2 the bar 2 get one, and Iwhen I asked Jamie for a glass and he retrieved a used glass w/ an inch of water in the bottom of it. After we were finished eating we had 2 wait another 20 minutes to get our bill and another 10 minutes to get a to go box. All in all we were there for nearly 2 hours due to Jamie's subpar service.
Pros: Authentic Italian Food
Cons: Horrible Servers
