Primo Amore — Restaurant in New York

I think this place is honestly a joke. Came here for Valentine's Day and ordered one of the specials, Branzino, along with Seafood Linguine. Branzino fillets tasted like it was frozen and came with a tiny portion of veggies (3/4 of a small soup bowl). Seafood Linguine was cooked with what also tasted like frozen lobster tails (smallest lobster tails I've ever had served at a restaurant). Classic Italian marinara sauces are never cooked with butter which this place does it with or at least tasted like it. Theirs was very off too. Don't know if it was because of the sweetness of the sauce like they added sugar or some kind of sweetener. Prices are seriously ridiculous for the portion sizes.

I'd return to try other dishes but skip the veal parmigiana. Update: I had the leftovers of that spaghetti and the...

Appetite gone!!! Addressed this with manager. He was Apologetic & I ordered a steak after my wife practically finished her meal. Steak was nothing to write home about. Received the check & one would expect a discount, even if it was the dessert. Nothing. "Sorry you have plastic in your food & cant eat it, take a chance on another meal". Will be awhile before I return again. Disappointing after a kind local recommended this place to take...
