I love wood fired pizzas and so far, I believe Cane Rosso is my favorite. The first time I went was about a month ago, we ordered a margherita pizza with fresh jalapeños and split a chicken fettuccini alfredo pasta. When we got our food, our server mistakenly gave us a pizza with pickled jalapeños, but then we asked for fresh jalapeños and she quickly grabbed us some in a ramekin. The pizza was spot on, whereas the Alfredo pasta was unique-it wasn't bad, it was just very different from what we expected, but we wouldn't order it again.
The second time we went was last night, on a Thursday. It was very surprisingly very busy. We were sat in the patio by the hostess and we sat there for a while without getting any help. Two of the servers outside in the patio kept looking at us, but didn't reach out. A table was then sat after us and the server immediately attended to them then we saw her talking to a person outside the restaurant across the street. After a while, the hostess came up to us and asked if we've been helped yet and we told her we have not, so she helped us. We ordered everything right then and there and everything came out within a reasonable time. We weren't given any side plates nor silverware, so I had to grab them myself on the stand-there weren't any side plates on there, but I did get us silverware. It was also a game night where the Dallas Stars were playing, so the TV playing upstairs was right above us and it was extremely loud (not the restaurant's fault).
We ordered a pomegranate mule, fried nuggz, and a margherita pizza with fresh jalapeños. The pomegranate mule consisted of a variety of fruit flavorings with vodka and ginger beer. However, it tasted like straight vodka with a tiny hint of flavorings, didn't really taste much ginger beer. It wasn't what I expected and if I were to get it again, I may ask for extra syrup/juice. The fried nuggz is just mozzarella cheese bites-very mediocre, but the marinara sauce was fresh and good. For the margherita pizza, this time we did get the fresh jalapeños like how we ordered. However, this time the pizza was very wet and soggy. When you would pick up the pizza slice, all the topping would immediately slide off of the crust. It was still good, but not as good as how we got it the first time. The flavor was the same, but the texture was not. The first time, the pizza was baked to perfection.
I don't blame them, it was a busy day and I totally understand how it goes because I am also in the food industry. Just because our second experience wasn't as great as our first, we would still give it another chance. I just hope the next time I go, the service is more attentive.
