My Martini tasted like olive oil
My Veal Parm reminded of me of what you get at Rays Pizza on the corner of 57th and third ave for lunch (not even the real rays but a biteoff rays for you NYers)
The wine was decent.
I went here as it was close to my new home, but mostly because the citysearch reviews said it was the best ""old school"".
The waiter who was actually very nice and fairly attentive asked us if we knew what oscobucco (spell) was as it was very ""italian"" and corresponded with this wonderful special dish..IT WAS WACK!!!
As a new Austin resident I am trying to be all peace love and harmony but truly would like to invite the ""jersey"" Tony Saprano types I used to live next door to down to Austin to taste the crap at Cialos as the reaction would be very funny.
I dont mind paying money for food even overpriced food (I know dumb) but I mean really..this was just bad.
The waiter mentioned that it was one of the best ""upscale resteraunts""..
I was warned by friends from NE that live here too that I should not expect to get decent italian but come on guys!! Veal Parm?
The reviews for mizo sushi in lakeway are all ""outstanding"" as well!! Why do I think I am going to be disapointed.
I HATE BAD FOOD.. buzz kill.
Pros: Close to Home, ambiance okay
Cons: food
