   I ordered the Piedmontese FiletMignon. Do not order this dish! Salty, sour potatoes tart! A joke! Full of Vinegar taste. My wife ordered the Rigatoni Dish. The pasta too aldente, the sauce full of sour taste, possibly soaked in Balsamic Vinegar. I cook better than this totally unbalanced PH food.

   Arrived early & was seated immediately. At some point the busser dropped a bread basket on the table. Note: we did not ask for bread. Server was attentive but we kind of felt like he needed to move us along & seemed a little put out that we didn’t order any alcoholic drinks. The food was excellent. We shared the calamari & Primavera salad as starters. We both ordered pasta dishes & enjoyed them very much. I looked at the bill two days later & now noticed they charged us for bread service for two guests. I am so ticked off by this shady deceptive activity. I am presuming it was the server not the busser who did this to boost the check & his tip. It makes me not want to ever return. This tactic has completely tarnished a delicious meal.
