I really wanted to enjoy this place, because I've heard people rave about it. Sadly, this was not the case for us.
Pros:
-We were quickly seated before the supper rush / large groups arrived
-The pizza was amazing
-The bolognese had good flavour, according to my wife
-She enjoyed the seafood medley as well as the gnocci and shrimp, but stated there were too many peppers
Cons: (this is the "sucky" part of our experience)
-Although there was plenty of seating, especially window side, they chose to seat us in a tucked away spot, that was extremely dark.
-Shortly after we were seated, a large group of about 10-15 and was sat next to us.
-Waitress took 20 minutes before collecting our drink, app, and food order. I inquired about the ingredients of the bolognese, but she didn't know what was in it. (I asked specifically if it had carrots, and she said no, definitely not. It had carrots. I'm ALLERGIC, but more about that later).
-Waitress brought the drinks, and forgot to bring a bottle opener. She said she would return with one, but never came back. We had to flag down someone else.
-20 more minutes go by and we get our appetizers. I ordered the burrata and prosciutto, but didn't realize it came with a rather large slimy pile of peppers and onions under the burrata. A little bit I can handle, but the amount that was on the plate was ungodly.
-Our entrees eventually come, and as I stated before, the bolognese had carrots.
-Our waitress never once came back to our table to check on us. Had she done so, I would have been able to salvage my supper and ask for something I was not allergic to.
-She finally brought the check, my to go pizza, and a couple boxes. At this point her attitude shifted from too busy, to sweet and chatty, presumably for a sizeable tip. She asked us how the meal was to which I responded, we will not be returning. She became silent and walked away from us without so much as a lovely evening response.
Our take away on the whole experience:
If you like a ton of peppers and onions overbearing your dish, a waitress who is not well-versed in product knowledge, slow and inattentive service, then this is your go-to spot. Otherwise, stick to the pizza.
We won't be going back anytime soon; it wasn't worth the money.
