Former favorite restaurant. The pizza is still some of the best you will ever eat, however the cozy n comfortable atmosphere has become a fond and distant memory. It was so loud in there it was pointless to try to have a conversation. Try going after 7 or 8. It became reasonable by then. The service is fine. I was confused about the long wait we endured for our salads as I watched people seated 20 minutes after we placed our full order get served and gobble down half their pizzas. I ordered a dirty martini, extra dry with blue cheese olives, but the waitress informed me that they "only have regular olives." Not a deal breaker. However, unless she forgot to tell the bartender the extra dry part, he must think that means to muddle a sugar cube in it. It was the sweetest dirty martini I've ever had. Yuck. And it came with 1 olive. So, I wouldn't recommend going there for a cocktail. Stick to the wine of which they have a vast selection.
We got the crispy brussel sprouts as a starter which were a complete bust. They seemed more like they were steamed and we really just ate them out of boredom.
Here's where the stars kick in. The fresca salad was really delicious! The caprisiossa pizzas were also delicious, but unlike past visits, the bottoms were almost the constancy of soup. But seriously, delicious anyway. Great location too. If your table isn't ready, grab a drink at any number of bars just yards away, or take a few laps around the park. Or, like we did, go sit in the car, and wait for the hostess to text you. It was freezing and there's no room inside to wait...
Read moreMy boyfriend, his family, and I went in there on a Saturday night expecting it to be busy. There was seven of us, and the hostess said she couldn't seat all of us together, and that it would be an hour wait. We were confused as to why we couldn't be seated together, but got over it, and we were all fine with the wait. After 45 minutes of waiting and only two parties were seated we decided to go back up to the hostess to ask how much longer, she then tells us she doesn't know at this point. So we waited another 15 minutes to see if any other parties would get seated but when they didn't, we left and went to eat at another restaurant, and after we were done we decided to go back to Pizza e Vino's to ask for a take out menu. The same hostess was standing by the bar and watching us from a far talking with her other co workers. When she started walking toward the hostess podium, she suddenly turns around as though she didn't want to help me. I then yelled "excuse me" to get her attention and she just stared at me, I then ask her to politely to "come here". After 20 minutes of not waiting in a line for a take out menu, I finally got one. I bet the food is amazing, but the hospitality in this place is awful. They definitely need to aprove on how to move tables to get people seated in a timely manner, and they need to work on the hostess helping everyone...
Read moreIf you have kids - DONNOT GO HERE. SO, I called ahead and made a reservation for 8 (2 Kids), showed up on time, they said there are 3 groups ahead of us. ( I don't know what was the point of reservation) But ok No Problem, we waited nearly an Hour, 2 tables cleared. they were setting the table. we thought we were going to be called. but No, I asked the girl how much longer, The kids were getting super hungry, they said they are waiting for tables to clear up, I asked about the empty table, they said. it might be cramped and we cannot join tables. So, one customer walking out told us that another lady sitting next to the empty tables told the manager don't let them sit here. she dint like to sit with kids around. When I asked to talk to the manager, he said we cant do anything. if you want you wait for the corner table to clear out or wait for some more ppl to leave. I said thanks and Walked out. 1 - The manager did not even have the curtsey to explain or apologize for 1.5 Hrs wait. 2 - The Most UN - Child friendly service. (I must say the kids were behaving 3 - I don't even care how the food is in this place at this point. 4 - These People are not worth the business. Did not expect this from such a restaurant. very...
