Let me first be honest and say that my family has gone there for yrs, but over the last 5 yrs,, it hasn't been good, I guess I'm a loyal guy hoping for the best.
Similar to one of the previous reviewers, the hostess was very cold, had no personality.. We had 830 reservations on Christmas Eve ,, the dining room was half empty, then we were treated coldly when asking for a table not a booth.. Like I needed a pardon from the freakin pope! The entire back row of tables were empty, maybe 30-35 seats? They told us we could sit there with a 45 min timer, cause people were "coming in" What?? (btw, when we left? Same tables were empty)
Then comes the waiter, I guess not a good grasp of English,, sends us 2 side salads instead of the cold antipasto we ordered..
The nasty vibe hostess said she'll check half way thru the meal,,,she never came back over to us.. The seafood platter that used to feed 2 was tiny... I asked for "extra calamari" but I guess the waiter heard NO calamari, so there was very little... The sauce was so thin and had no flavor...
I guess every restaurant has its day, and to me? There day has passed...
I don't care that the owner is expanding down the block, in past years he would have came over and been attentive to issues... He should start with the beautiful young hostess with the ugly personality! All I know is MY experience there...
Still great pizza, but I would suggest you can find a much better Italian restaurant. Sorry.
