So I went to Prezzo for the first time this past Sunday. I must say their name is probably the most snazzy thing about them. It wasn't horrible, but it definitely did not make me want to write a review lol nor did it make me want to ever go back. so this will be more like a list of reasons why I do not desire to go back to Prezzo ever.
Pear Pasta - bland. Usually when something is delicious, I want to eat every bite, scrape up every drip of sauce from the plate and I'm shooting daggers through my eyes at the other people at the table when it's down to the last one. I left three of these on the plate and didn't care.
Beef Carpaccio - waaaaaaaaaay too much aioli (like gobs of it )
Meatballs - bland
Eggplant stack - I didn't taste it, it was someone else's appetizer order and they were sharing it with a baby so I didn't have a bite of that. It looked nice though.
Tuna Tostadas - needed more sauce on the tuna (best of the apps, though.)
Bufala Mozzarella Ravioli - was okay, sauce was great but ravioli had filling in the middle but the ends were doughy and empty
Bolognese- okay, bland
Osso Bucco - I don't know how they messed this up, but they did. It wasn't fall off the bone tender. Presentation was wonderful! I was so excited to eat it. But the sauce/seasoning choice was so random. I went from to in one bite. (The is never a good when it comes to food reviews lol.) It was almost like a sweet tomato thing going on. The risotto was overcooked and the lemon was nowhere to be found. I brought leftovers home and it's Wednesday and no one in the house has even thought about eating them.
Strawberry salad - I didn't taste it. It was the meal for someone else at the table that I don't eat after. So therefore all I could do is take a beautiful picture picture of it. And it was a beautiful picture.
The two desserts were peach cobbler, which was a special, and the butter cake, which was recommended by our server. Both were actually very good. And the butter cake, fair warning, is meant for sharing it's huge although my boyfriend and I managed to tackle about 3/4 of it topped with the vanilla gelato. The peach cobbler was my daughter selection and I was envious of her the entire time we were eating dessert. I really wanted the peach cobbler and, she's bigger than me now so I realized I couldn't take her, so I just let her eat it all.
They have an open kitchen, which was nice. The seating and dining area was nice, the entrance area was nice. I do think that since I'm awful summer, maybe, just maybe, I might try this restaurant for lunch or maybe just coffee and desserts. But it would just be because I'm a hopeful and positive person who likes to give second chances.
Another review, giving it to Straight, no chaser. Enjoy!
