Problem: Love the new digs! This is a MUST for dining in old town! Met a friend for a light lunch, and it was a delightful experience from beginning to end! We chose to sit on the patio, and glad we did because that wont be an option much longer heading into summer. Beautiful patio, lots of low slung chairs with comfy pillows, and plenty of umbrellas for shade. We had the chilled cilantro-lime crab dip and wow, just wow! It is paired with plantain chips, and per the recommendation of our server, we went half plantain chips, half sweet potato chips, we enjoyed every last bite! It was excellent. We also had a special of the day, flat bread with brussel sprouts, pancetta, and cheese, extremely flavorful. I would order the same lunch again over and over I enjoyed it that much.

Problem: We went to the recently opened new location, which didn't have the sandwiches but I guess had more pastas? We had the rush street (pepperoni) pizza and the one with sausage for appetizers. I had the lobster ravioli which was really good. Everyone else enjoyed their food, all got a variety of dishes. The downside was it was newly opened, they didn't get our reservation call from this location (we went to this location and they called the new location for us and put us on the list and the hostess was not at all nice about this) and so we waited *forever* (a good 45min) in a packed place that had no sitting area (the bar of course was full). Also we sat between the kitchen and the waitstaff area so I got to listen to the complaints and drama of the waitstaff. I get places are new, but try to *look* professional even if you can't do your job.

Problem: I'm profoundly baffled by all the good reviews for Grimaldis. The pizza isn't bad; okay, it's edible...but just barely. The real problem is that it's boring. All the elements just don't harmonize. The crust is overcooked. It's too hard, too crispy with no chewiness. I suggest that the Grimaldi clan go to Settebello in Green Valley and tast real Neapolitan pizza. Crust should be chewy, not hard dammit! Take a trip to Napoli, the birthplace of pizza, if you don't believe me. The toppings are not in synch with any of the other toppings. It's as if they were chosen on their own with no awareness of how they would ultimately work together. And please! This coal-fired nonsense, and New York water nonsense doesn''t mean anything, except as a marketing ploy to get gullible tourists to think they're eating something special. If you want great pizza, go down the street to Sicili's Pizza on Twain. It's in a ghetto area, so I don't advise eating in, but as take-out or delivery, it's amazingly good. And at half the price!!! But if you're a lazy tourist who doesn't want to leave the casino, then you're stuck with this mediocre pizza. If this represents New York pizza, given the fame of Grimaldi's in New York, I've never been happier not to live in that overcrowded, smelly, cesspool.

Problem: These guys are assholes, pieces of shit must of thought it'd be funny to give us insanely spicy sauce when we asked for mild. I love spicy food, but this is just crap. Neither of us can eat this. Karma is a bitch.
