Roman Cucina

First off, I have travelled all over the country and world eating great food and not so great food. This place is very dark inside one can barely read the menu, 8 of us crowded into a space for 6! The bread was toasted dry, literally dry! I'm glad we had water! Although the wait staff were pleasant enough they were not trained well on table service. This means when refilling a water glass, do not cross in front of the customers face to pour! Always ask then serve between the guests makes it quicker and less intrusive.This avoids elbows or armpits in the face! Second, clear plates before bringing next dish! There was no room at our crowded table for the salads to be set down, so instead of removing the bread plates, the servers were looking at us to some how make room for the plates which were very large, not salad plate size at all. The worst was when the main dishes came and of course they were served on huge plates and once again they tried to put them down without asking if we were done with our salads, or if they could remove them so they could set down our dinner plates! One server was setting my plate down on my salad! I stopped her and said " you need to clear the table before you try to set that down. She replied oh I know, I was going to do that! I thought to myself really? With a plate the size of Texas in each hand?! So my family started stacking and holding the plates for them! Sadly I don't think it even registered with them what was happening! Food rating 3.5 All the different Pastas were well cooked and was al dente Red pasta sauce very watery almost no flavor must not have used very much spices if any. It could have been reduced more to get it to stick to the pasta. The spicy sausage was good The cannoli was very rich but the wafer that holds the cream was so hard none of us could cut it. All these things can easily be corrected by management it all always comes down to them. They need to know what's happening And how to correct it. The servers and wait staff are a direct reflection of the managers experience and skills.
