The best Resturaunt in...

A little disappointing. We were not served of water until we ordered some food and a wine. When we were served of the first two of what we ordered a staff asked us if we would like to have some cracked black peppers on the dishes. I specifically told the staff to put some black peppers on one of the dishes but not the other as that dish already had some black peppers on it. The staff however did not care to pay attention to what I said or what was on the plate and put the peppers on both. Prociutto e melone was okay. Arancini was not bad apart from a little overcooked so that some rice grains were almost rock hard, but the taste was quite okay. Spaghetti marinara, spaghetti was way over done. It almost had a texture of a canned spaghetti. All of the seafood ingridients were not fresh but from frozen seafood mix. Lamb was okay, the sauce was delicious and vegitables were nicely cooked but we were never asked about how we would want to have our meat done and it came out as very very well done. I would have not made a single compaint if this place was a budget friendly place but over priced for...

Food was average, and overpriced. I've eaten at other Italian restaurants with similar prices, and the pasta is made in-house, not from a packet like this place. A standard can of coke is $7.50!! It was room temperature, and the can had debris on top. The menu said parmiagiano was included with the Spag Bol, but came with only a pinch on the top and when I asked for a bit more, I was told it would be $3 extra! Again, in other Italian restaurants, this has always been complimentary. My girlfriend's Cannelloni's cheese had barely melted, so sent it back to brown it more. It was also way too salty - even for me who loves a decent pinch. When we paid, she offered polite feedback about the dirty table, the coke, and the average food, but we weren't offered an apology, or asked what they could do to improve our experience - just told that the feedback will be given to the chef. To give credit where it's due, the service was prompt, the food didn't take long, and we were asked how the food was shortly after it was served. Overall, I think it's just not very good...
