    Server was not very attentive towards pre-bussing and checking on our table. Food was very delicious though!

    Although Mama’s knew it was our anniversary, we were put right near the door at the worst table. The food was totally uninspired. The calamari was overcooked and tasteless. The bread was greasy. The spaghetti was overcooked. The Caesar salad was just lettuce with heavy cheese on it. The eggplant parmigiana was 2 fried slices of eggplant with thick slabs of melted cheese all over it. That’s not eggplant parmigiana. Oh, and the carafe of red wine was ice cold! My husband didn’t want me to complain at the restaurant. Oh, and it was all served really poorly too. The way it looked on the plate. I don’t understand why it gets good reviews. Even though I barely ate I guess I ate enough so that I had terrible stomach cramps all night. Thanks for the great anniversary!
