Worst experience ever.
Went there with my family on Christams day. Huge mistake.
The part of the restaurant where we were seated was just cold, to the point that our young son had to keep the coat on all the time.
The menu books we got were sticky and we could see they were solied at some point and someone tried to wipe them clean. Unsuccessful.
We order the food (not impressed with the selection) and some wine.
The wine come in the most filthy glass you can imagine in a restaurant. We pointed that out to the server and returned the wine. We were told that the manager was told about the glass and we got a free soft-drink as replacement. One will have expected the manager to come in and appologize in person, but that didn't happen. I don't think they really care about.
The food was not that good either. A pizza we ordered was one of the worst I have seen in a restaurant and they charged $16 for it.
When we asked for the bill, the server told us we have to go through the dessert menu first. These are the rules !?! Really ?? Sure enough she brought in those menus first and later the bill.
I couldn't wait to leave that place. It made me sick to my stomach. It was for the first time in my life I didn't leave a tip.
Quite honest, that place should get a visit from the sanitation department. I am amazed they have a licence to run a restaurant.…
Get cozy with friends and family and enjoy an Italian feast at this loved-by-locals restaurant..
In Short
Homesick for your mother's Italian cooking? Grab your appetite and head to this restaurant, where the friendly wait staff will serve up portions of Colosseum-esque proportions,
like spaghetti and meatballs loaded with savory tomato sauce and lots of pungent garlic. Dishes center on Southern Italian immigrant fare, and are meant to be shared family-style with a large goblet of wine-to enhance the taste, of course. The ornate décor with walls covered in vintage photos evokes a warm homey feel that welcomes customers to dine among the other families and loyal customers. Buon Appetito!…
Cozy........
First of all, really think about going there on a Friday night. Very busy to the point of being overlooked even with a reservation. Yes, we checked in and waited as later arrivals got their seats
before us. I guess a party or two isn't enough for their liking. We finally were seated in the bar. The booth was large enough for six (plenty of legroom). We ordered and received our appetizer rather quickly and it was delicious. We ordered two main dishes (ravioli and tortelinni). The ravioli was a bit of a wait and was warm only in the center. The tortelinni came so late we had finished the ravioli at least ten minutes before. The waitress told us since it was served so late,we would not be billed for it. Guess what? we were billed anyway for a dish that had sat under the heat lamp long enough to make the edges hard. When my wife mentioned to me rather loudly that we had been billed for it, the waitress disppeared into the crowded bar The bar had fill up to the point we had a bunch of people standing right by our table waiting for us to leave. We will never go there again.
It sure wasn't worth seventy bucks!!!!!! Hope your experiences fare better…
Highway Robbery!. very hard location to find. parking limited. atmosphere and resturant decor was great. family style. took family of two adults and three kids to meet two other couples for dinner. ordered the "larges" of each course selection under the waitress' instructions for us. extremely small portions when a "large" is supposed to feed four to six people. fed the children, the husband got about appetizer portion of food, and i had whatever the kids didn't eat. the food was alright, but it was nothing to write home about. the service was good until we got the bill and ask the waitress to split it. she became very difficult to work with and she refused to split the bill up for us. then we found charges on the bill for food that we never received and had never ordered. spent a long time working with the waitress trying to get her to understand that she needed to take the charges off. we finally got the bill straightened out. our bill came to just over $150.00 for our family. we about had a coronary right then and there! charging that much money for the mediocre food we got is seriously highway robbery! especially when we had to stop at mcdonalds on the way home because everyone in the family was starving. we will definitely never go back there again nor will we ever recommend this place to anyone. we would have been so much better off by going to red lobster, ordering everyone lobster, and saving some of our hard earned money to boot!!!. this overall experience was horrendous!…
Best Food and service St Paul!. I went there went my CEO and he loved it! Our company let them handle all are cattering needs and let me tell you its a lot! And now they have single portions of food! Perfect!
