With much excited anticipation my family of 3 went to Bertucci's for dinner the other night. For a long time I wanted to try their food, etc... So I was glad we were finally going. Upon entering, the hostess didn't say anything like welcome to.... (like Olive Garden does) or even a simple hello. She said, how many? Unfortunately this is common in a lot of restaurants. Too bad they can't be welcoming like Chic Fil A, which doesn't seat you but they do greet you. So like cattle we followed the hostess to a booth. In the Annapolis, MD location this area where the booth was a 3 walled room, not very well decorated or inviting. When I asked about another location, nearer to the windows and more open looking, she said no one is serving in that area. However before we left the area was used. Oh I forgot to mention,she did not ask us if we preferred a booth or a table. My husband and I order the soup and salad. My son got the lasagne with soup. The minestrone was better than the sausage soup which was not very well spiced. Our server was pleasant and smiled but did not take away the plates in a timely manner,when they were no longer needed. Overall, I should have asked for better seating. The other side of the restaurant looked much more inviting. I think that would have helped with our 1st experience. With all the place to eat now a days, and you have to select carefully where to spend your hard earned money, will we not be going to this or another location.
