Easily one of the worst dining experiences of my life. Seated in a deeply tilted garage, the first warning sign was the water glasses. Not glasses, but red plastic tumblers just like you would see a teenage kegger. There was a pile of food, cleaning supplies and equipment in the back room, visible through an open curtain. A bag of onions sat out unrefrigerated, as did a case of eggs. Just sitting on the floor, probably since Friday. (We 'ate here' on Sunday) . Then after we placed our order, the bread came out. This was sliced supermarket bread, some of it cinnamon raisin, some just plain old sliced white bread. It had been coated with garlic and oil, which renders the cinnamon raisin bread disgusting and unpalatable. Next, our salads arrived, mine was a pear Gorgonzola and my wife's an alleged Caesar salad. My salad featured a chunk of Gorgonzola only slightly smaller than a deck of cards, grapes, tomatoes and a fistful of candied walnuts, in a sickly sweet balsamic dressing. My wife's salad was overdressed, limp croutons, no anchovies, no parmigiana and was drowning in some mustard dressing.
The disappointment continued with our main courses. My wife's guanciale came with house made tagliatelle was literally drowning in grease and indeed included many chunks of fat. Bland, unseasoned and gluey. My scallops with house made linguine and saffron sauce as greasy as my wife's guanciale, with the added treat of bland rubbery scallops and a surprising amount of sand and grit. Another unseasoned and unsalted dish.
My beer wasn't very cold, but my wife did enjoy her wine.
Overall, I am quite surprised to read all the glowing reviews here, I was genuinely embarrassed to have to pay for this extreme low quality, unloved food, indifferently cooked by someone who seems to have lost passion for his craft.
