I really can't kick, scream, and cry about my overall experience at this place – especially since it served as a last resort on Christmas Eve, but I can definitely b!tch a little bit.
One word: WHERE'S MY FOOD?! YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO KILL IT!
Okay, so that was more than one word. But that was my biggest gripe with this place; the horrendously lonnnngg wait in between courses AND how incredibly short staffed they were. You know you have a red flag waving when the host comes out with your drink orders. The place was packed, but c'mon – hire more people if you need them! It got worse when I overheard some of our neighboring tables complain about how their order was placed before ours and glare over once we got our food.
We asked for everything – water, more napkins, more water, where my sister's order went, the check – it got last Merry and more Grinchy by the time we left.
We ordered much; we laughed more; we ate with gusto, and we left almost too tired to think about midnight mass.
Salvi – HIRE MORE PEOPLE!!! You food is really nice and tasteful, but I felt partial to blame for suggesting my family come here; make some changes and you'll have people longing to come back.
Seriously? People think this is a good restaurant? Maybe this is one of the nicer restaurants in this part of Brooklyn, I'm not one to judge, but the food here is sub-par Italian AT BEST! Nothing bothers me more then going to overpriced Italian restaurants that serve crappy Italian food. This is what we ordered:
-ceasar salad – drowned in heavy dressing
-special of the evening – branzini with clams – fish was SO bland, I got exactly 5 oysters and the side dish? a sad plate of steamed veggies which was tasteless and gross
-hubby ordered the fluke which was similarly bland and tasteless
-homemade cheesecake? – was not a big fan at all. It was lumpy and weird.
-EXPENSIVE!!!!!! Why are they charging $25 – 30 per entree? Ugh This is NOT Manhattan or even park slope.
I don't know what people are thinking rating this place so high, I was utterly disappointed and will never ever recommend or dine at this establishment ever again. Disgraceful Italian….take y our business elsewhere. If you think I'm over exaggerating then go to Gino's in Bay ridge and come back to me. Their food is delicious and exceptional at about half the price.
