Very disappointing, I expected a lot more from a restaurant that appears on the Michelin site “A business that takes care of both details and organization”
The dining room is pleasant, modern, and well-designed; the menu features a wide selection of Italian dishes, including an extensive pizza selection. The wine list is immense and well-presented, with a wide range of wines to choose from. Michelin places the price at $$ but our experience was $$$. The food and service were not up to our expectations.
We ordered the Lobster Cannelloni as a starter to share. The dish was well presented; the seafood inside was bland and lacked seasoning, while the Bechamel was well seasoned. The dish overall was dry and tasted stale like it was prepared days in advance or sat under the warmer for too long.
For our main courses, we ordered Baked Sea Scallops With Moscatel Wine Sauce and Green Lasagne With Monk Fish And Shrimps. The Scallops were very good but the accompanying risotto was over salted. The lasagna (Green refers to the spinach lasagna noodles) was not good; again, the seafood in the dish was very bland and not seasoned at all. I am at a loss as to why the seafood in the lasagna and the Cannelloni tasted so bland and un-seasoned when they were included in a dish with seasoned sauces. Perhaps they were frozen too long or added to the dishes ala minute, avoiding any seasoning.
Last was the poor service. We started off with good service as we were one of only a few occupied tables. Once the dining room started to fill, the service disappeared, causing long delays between courses and the inability to clear our plates or receive the bill. The server tried to apologize, stating that someone failed to show up for work, yet the manager kept taking walk-in guests to fill the restaurant despite the inability to serve them.
