Last night we ate here. It had been a long day out celebrating my son’s birthday. Our food was mostly really good.

The issue was our waitress. She was incredibly rude, crass and continued to make us feel unwelcome. She kept making comments like we were doing things wrong. The whole dinner she made us feel the need to apologize for being there. She became hostile because our pizzas were brought out on pedestals. We took the pizza trays and moved them to the table. We had a our 5 year old and our baby and feared they’d be knocked down.

The waitress rushed over and treated us like idiots saying the varnish would get ruined. Fine. Perhaps communicate that. Perhaps communicate it in a way that doesn’t treat your customers like idiots.

We had our reasons, we were trying to avoid a disaster.

She did her best to avoid our table. When she did bother to check on us, it was just rude tones, rude statements and we just felt a huge need to hurry up, eat our food and leave.

I’m Italian. We don’t rush with our food. I also enjoy the warmth that one would expect comes with dining in an Italian restaurant.

It’s just sad. A sad experience. And the waitress is a sad, mean lady.

I would steer clear of this place.

Follow-up to Joe Owner,

I understand being understaffed causing issues. I do not understand how that justifies treating customers the way our waitress did. We were also close enough to hear the way she was communicating with other diners and the tone was different than how she was speaking to us. That indicates to me this wasn’t based on there being a staff shortage. She just decided to take her mean demeanor out on us. Despite all of this, my husband still left a generous tip. And post COVID or not, common courtesy can really go a long way. Especially if you want customers to return. I stand by what I said and more so seeing that you seem to be defending the way our waitress treated us. And it was only our waitress that was rude. The rest of the staff was polite and kind.
