text: I kind of went back and forth on how many stars to give Teatro but here is the deal DHs lasagna arrived cold and though he did not complain about the sauce when I got a taste I thought the Bolognese had a weird consistencyway too fine like they had run the meat thru a food processor It was also a little flatkind of one note nnThe male half of the couple we were dining with had the Tagliatelle and he seemed disappointed with the Bolognese sauce as well Now the female half of the couple and I both ordered the gnocchi in a gorgonzola sauce with arugula and prosciutto Oh my goshthat sauce was DELICIOUS Unctuous to the tongue and full of flavor and you had the herbaceousness of the arugula and the saltycrispysavoriness of the hamsadly the gnocchi were waaaay overcookedI cannot even describe how soft they were And I am a girl who does NOT like al dente But there was no tooth at all Jetpuff marshmallows have more density Well maybe not if you cooked them in saucebut do you get what I am sayingnnThey bring a carafe of water to your table but it totally had the chlorinated flavor of city tap water Can we say Brita Those little things matternnAnyhow on the GOOD side the housemade focaccia was very good the salads very crisp and fresh if not memorable and I thought we received excellent service And yes the waiter asked if we were happy with the meals and so did the managerowner but I did not want to come off foodiebitch with some folks we are just getting to know DH and I shared a Central Coast Pinot Noir that was on a Wednesday night special all bottles half off and it was pretty good nnAll our dinnerware cutlery and glassware was clean My menu did have sort of an icky stain on it And the big wire thingie in the center of the table for folks who were going to order pizza took up an inordinate amount of room on a smallish fourtopnnThe place itself is painted in warm colors but they need to bring something in that will absorb some sound As the place filled upand it did fill upit became very hard to hear the conversations at our table and I would say none of the four of us are mumblers And I think there is a real missed opportunity behind the bar There is a place to set up a beautiful and lighted barback that would be a feature in the restaurant Instead they have some weird newspapery wallpaper and a Kmart RTA bookshelf with packs of beer displayed on it nnSo I thought and thoughtdid the pretty good salads and a killer gorgonzola cream sauce and good service outweigh cold food weird Bolognese sauce and chlorinated water Ummmno but you know with a couple of tweaks this place could rock And I think the ownermanager cares because why else would he have stopped at every table to check in And it was not a flybyhe actually paused and smiled and made eye contact Like I said I did not want to be a PITAnnI will definitely try again because you cannot judge on just one experience unless you find something disgusting and everyone has an off nightnnBut we still had a great time so it is all good
