Let's start off with the ambiance. It has a great vibe to it, nice set up. The location is also perfect and holds a lot of potential for success.
The staff, was incredible! Our waiter was a very attentive gentleman with a great personality to match! The reason why I'm even giving this place any stars is because of how kind they were, fast to seat us, and the vibes of the place.
The food however..... was quite terrible to say the least. For starters, the pasta was barley al dente, with little to no flavor. If we didn't get the ONE meatball as an addition, it just would've been lackluster. Thankfully, the meatball added some type of flavor but overall very upsetting. It had the perfect amount of sauce yet no flavor? Didn't make sense. And it stated it was spicy, when there was literally no spice at all. Very upsetting especially for a place that centers itself around Italian cuisine.
The pizza was the worst pizza I ever had in my life. No joke. I'd rather dominoes. I love thin crust pizza, but there was no crunch to the crust... it was chewy, doughy, undercooked yet the top was charred? Not sure if the pizza is broiled somehow in this place but it was terrible. I go to Montauk from NYC for some parts of the summer, and also cook myself. My palette is a lot more advanced than what they're serving here and to say I trusted pizza anywhere but NYC it's really my fault at that point but a thin crust pizza with no crunch is just odd!
Lastly, I have no pictures of this but we also ordered calamari. It was good actually better than anything else we had, the only thing I didn't like was the aftertaste of oil in your mouth, it's definitely old oil or oil they use for multiple things at once and just don't change it throughout the day.
Overall, I was very upset. I paid a hefty price for underwhelming food. I never care what I spend but what I spend it ON, and I simply wouldn't do it again here. I give them props for trying though and for having an amazing staff!
