text: Mario Bataliwhat have you done I am your biggest fan of Osteria Mozza in LA and was expecting Mozza quality and deliciousness at Carnevino With the quality of a Sizzler and the service of Olive Garden actually although I hate their food the service is even better I am taking some of my I am your foodie groupie points away big time That is what happens when these great restaurant owners grow too quickly Service and quality goes way down nnChris was our first waiter but then we got stuck with Goose Rude sarcastic made racist jokes just unbelievable Maybe he should have been stuffed and served on a platter instead of serving customers I cannot imagine a guy like that making it at Macaroni Grill let alone a Mario Batali restaurant nnOk on to the food The steak tartare was decent but it went down from there I ordered the lamb chops as my entree As many others said they WAY undercook things I asked for medium rare but the meat was oozing with blood Yuck And it was at least fat Fortunately Chris came to the rescue when he sent it back to the kitchen for me and took it off the bill I had ordered the brussel spouts as a side They were mediocre at best Needless to say I skipped on the dessert Mr Bataliplease do not ruin the image I have had of you Keep a few restaurants that you can manage and consistently deliver Mozza quality Otherwise you will be boxed in with the Outback Steakhouse Olive Garden Fortunately Osteria Mozza is still stars in my book
