TASK DEFINITION: You are given a review about a place. You need to provide a rating from "1 star" to "5 stars" for this place.
PROBLEM: Small, intimate and offers amazing Italian food. Not your run-of-the-mill restaurant, expect a pleasant dining experience. We always leave satisfied!

SOLUTION: 5 stars

PROBLEM: Beautiful place but HORRENDOUS SERVICE!

Issues:
1. did not have our reservation
2. seated us in the worst place in the restaurant because they had other big reservations but managed to lose ours...
3. Super slow and bad service
4. Very, very limited menu
5. Expensive for quality of food (meat was undercooked)
6. Supposedly a tapas place?!? yeah....
7. Ordered a brazilian coffee, was told the machine was broken, coffee mysteriously appeared in a cup, was luke warm and cup half full. Gross..Was then charged 7$ for that nasty coffee!!
8. Was then told by the waiter that they had another reservation coming so we would have to give up our table... Unbelievable!
9. Waiter poorly attempted to remedy the situation by offering us a shot
10.Had to hunt down the waiter to get bill and then again later to pay it.

This place is only passable, if you already happen to be in the area and are only there for a drink or 2, besides that, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!

-The only good things I have to say about this place is that the decor is lovely and the DJ (Eric Chorney) was outstanding-

SOLUTION: 2 stars

PROBLEM: Went for the first time after being told this was a must try by friends a few years ago. The place is very small, but cute the way it's set up. The waiter greeted us; however, was kind of appalled that we hadn't made a reservation. As first timers we weren't aware this was "kind of required". The Italian bread that came out was delicious, but it went downhill from there. I ordered fettuccine alfredo with pasta fagioli soup to start. I was disappointed to get a soup with only one type of beans, pasta, huge chunks of tomato & it wasn't even warm - not like any pasta fagioli I have ever consumed before. Then the fettuccine..... Bland, flavorless sauce over noodles that tasted as if they were stored somewhere covered with mold and mildew! On the plus side, my husband devoured the lasagna. When asked if we wanted dessert, we declined, I didn't want to take my chances!

SOLUTION:
3 stars
