text: Was taken here for my birthday and was our first time in Could not have been more disappointed in almost everything While true it is a small place they had a table of about which seemed to overwhelm the staff although our server Ruth did an admirable jobnnWe started with the Calamari appetizer Took awhile and when it came out it was tasteless and rubbery Our server apologized and graciously offered to replace it An offer we accepted Second time no better and we were not chargednnThen we shared a small dinner salad which was nice enough although when they say small they mean it Served on a small side plate Was tasty enough but hey it is assembly and not cooking Bread and butter were served with the salad It was nothing special but ok Hard to believe the bread was made in house as claimednnThen best of all I ordered the Chefs signature dish Chef Claudios Favorite Sautueed Fresh Mushrooms Ham Red Onions and Peas delicately simmered in a rosa cream sauce baked in an oven with mozzarella cheese nnChefs signature dish should be done right should not it And if you are truly a trained chef specializing in Italian cuisine you would not use ham would you Or if you DID use ham it would not taste like it was cheap lunchmeat ham would it It would be some sort of Italian ham like a prosciutto or maybe a capocolla would not it Nope just plain old cheap tasting lunchmeat hamnnSo mediocre to poor food and a very very noise kitchen make for a poor meal which we will not attempt to repeat
