Being my first time in New York I wanted to go to a Italian Restaurant in Little Italy. My girlfriend, whom I was visiting, and I walked up and down Mulberry St. looking for a place to eat. This one looked nice and they had some specials displayed outside. We decided to eat there. The service wasn't bad. No disappearing waiters and we didn't have to wait long for our food. Though English was not the first language of our waiter. He was very hard to understand and communicate with. We ordered their 3 course meal specials. I had Mozzarella Caprese for my appetizer and my girlfriend had Vongole al Forno(baked clams). Mine was what it said just some slices of mozzarella with tomatoes. Nothing special. Could of had a bit more flavor. My girlfriend complained that her clams were overcooked and tough. Very rubbery. Our entrees came. I had Chicken Parmesan. I'm not sure where in Italy they serve half a potato with Chicken Parmesan, but that's what I got. No pasta! Just some chicken and half a potato. I've had better Chicken Parmesan at Olive Garden. A potato? WTF! My girlfriend had Linguine alle Vongole(linguine with clams). Her appetizer was already tough and rubbery, so her entree wasn't much better. They obviously do not know how to cook clams. Some Play-Doh pasta would of tasted better. The only thing that was any good was the Tiramisu. It wasn't bad, but for all we know it could of come from a box.
After spending $90 on this sorry excuse for Italian food I felt I could of saved $80 and had a better meal McDonalds or the hot dog vendor down the street.
Cons: A lot!
