Loved my dining experience here! Despite being in the most random, unassuming location in a round rock strip mall, the indoor dining room is beautiful and feels like a true NYC or Chicago Italian establishment. Only feedback is to turn the screens off! People should be focusing on each other and conversation during dinner in an upscale spot like this. Excellent cocktails and phenomenal pizza. We got the pepperoni option and it was so good! The chicken parm was light and authentic, served with a delicious and unique vodka sauce. The amatriciana pasta was a bit of a let down imo so I'll be trying a different one next time. Ended our meal with a house made frozen yogurt, which was so incredibly tasty! read more

Service was amazing in this new Italian spot in Round Rock! Love when locally owned spots hit our neighborhood. We shared the Tuna Crudo, which was delicious as a starter. Friends enjoyed the pasta - sauces and dishes were cooked perfectly. There's something beautiful about perfectly plated Fettuccine Alfredo or Rigatoni. The meatball appetizer was added for some protein for everyone to share, they were tender and flavorful. I had the Caprese Salad with burrata, peaches, and tomato... delicious. A little love might be needed to spruce up the patio to make the entrance more inviting. Drinks were ok, next time will probably lean into the wine list. read more

We had high expectations for this restaurant, especially knowing it was opened by a Michelin-level chef, but unfortunately the overall experience didn't live up to the hype. The food was 'okay,' but nothing felt especially memorable or refined enough to justify the reputation or price point. Our drinks weren't 'balanced.' Not bad, but not great. We started with a few appetizers for the table including the arancini, meatballs, caesar salad and garlic bread. The arancini were accompanied with a flavorless but spicy chili oil. The salad, meatballs and garlic bread were 'fine.' Our pasta came out at room temperature. For an Italian restaurant with this hype, I expected more distinctive flavors, stronger execution, and dishes that would leave a lasting impression. Service was also fairly average. It wasn't bad, but it lacked the attentiveness, warmth, and polish I would expect from a restaurant positioning itself at this level. Our server rarely checked on us. Dirty dishes remained on the table. When we needed a beverage, we had to wave down our server. The biggest issue for me was value. Between the pricing, the service, and the quality of the food, the experience simply didn't feel worth the premium. There are plenty of Italian restaurants offering equally good, or better, food and hospitality for considerably less. Not a terrible meal by any means, but given the chef's credentials and the expectations surrounding the restaurant, we left disappointed. read more

To begin I loved the lighting and decor, we sat at the bar which was also very comfortable. Our bartender/server was named Tim and he was a lot of fun and gave great recommendations. I always love it when an employee has a real buy in to the clients experience and success of the restaurant and I would say Tim does this amazingly. Next I will start by saying if you just want some delicious chicken Alfredo at a reasonable price this is not the place for you but if you want delicious drinks and unique foods that come with a much higher price tag then you will enjoy this place. We chose this as a date night spot and between my wife and I our bill without tip came out to $165. Their approach is to order many dishes and to not stuff yourself on any one but to take the leftovers home because they reheat well. The only dish that I would say I didn't absolutely love was the meatballs, but the other dishes were exceptional. Lastly to summarize it was a lot of fun and a great meal, will return to try some of the other pasta dishes! read more

Very disappointed with this spot. I found it through an Instagram post that made the food look incredible, but the experience didn't live up to the hype. Maybe they put more effort into influencer visits, but that certainly wasn't our experience. The restaurant was packed and had a great atmosphere, so we were excited to try it. My husband and I along with another couple in our party ordered the rigatoni, which looked delicious. Unfortunately, it arrived cold, bland, and worst of all, undercooked. Looking back, I regret not sending it back because for the price, that level of quality is unacceptable. We also ordered the Honey It's Thyme drink, which was equally disappointing. It tasted overly sweet and syrupy, like something you'd get at a nightclub, and I couldn't taste any thyme at all. The one good thing was the pizza. We ordered the pepperoni with candied jalapeños, and it was very good. However, when deciding on toppings, my husband specifically didn't want honey on the pizza. The server suggested having the honey served on the side, which we agreed to, but the pizza still came out with honey already on it along with more on the side. Between the undercooked pasta, disappointing drink, and order mistake, the experience simply wasn't worth the cost. We spent around $100 for two people and left feeling let down. read more

First visit here after the transition from Odds and it didn't disappoint. Started with grilled prawns and garlic bread, both tasty. The lobster cavatelli was excellent. While the chicken parm was nicely executed, it really needs some kind of accompaniment - pasta, potato, any kind of starch. Otherwise it's just a bit boring. It's the only miss IMO. The tiramisu is great but I'm telling you the olive oil soft serve is sensational. It's an absolute must. The cacao nibs take the whole thing to eleven. Service was attentive and knowledgeable, impressive considering they haven't been open long. A great date night option with a darker room, avant garde cinema silently playing on the TVs, and a fine cocktail menu. It's a vibe. Instantly on the A list in Williamson County, a welcome addition. read more

I'm not impressed to see that menu prices went up 10 to 20 percent on some items in a matter of 2 weeks after opening. Sorry, but that is not cool. $6 more for the lamb ragu?? Oh and I really wanted to try the squash blossoms because I had some at red ash and thought it was great. But they were out of them at 6:30pm. And $16 for 2 isn't cheap either, similar to Red Ash of I recall, but this place ain't Red Ash... This place could be great, the indoor is nice with cute flooring and a beautiful bar, but honestly for where it's located and what the food looks like, prices are too high. The restaurant doesn't even have an outdoor sign for Pete's sake... The mushroom pizza was good and priced decently. Everything else we saw looked quite average and too expensive. Tiramisu is a ridiculously small portion for $14. I haven't seen the salads but I fear that $16 won't give you much of a plate. Waitress was friendly but really didn't try to sell us on anything on the menu. This is a Michelin starred chef? Well the food certainly doesn't look like it. I'll pay for great food. This isn't it. It's average food, better than a food chain but nothing amazing. I was excited. I'm not anymore. read more

We got there on a week day and they were already pretty full so we sat at the bar. Service was quick and attentive. Surprisingly, for someone who usually isn't a big fan of prawns, those were my favorite. Their sauce was addicting. I didn't enjoy the bone marrow garlic bread much because you could barely taste the bone marrow. Pizza and branzino were my favorite! Branzino probably one of the best I've had as it was well cooked and flavored. However, it was just a tad bit salty for my taste. Same with the pesto pasta, it was good but leaned on the salty side. It could be a me problem though because I usually have a lower salt tolerance. I loved their soft serve!! Light but also creamy and rich. Would love to come back to try the bone marrow pizza. read more

Great experience overall. Food: Rigatoni alla vodka - good concept but execution fell short. I love Al dente pasta but this was a bit undercooked and didn't absorb the sauce as well. Bone marrow pizza with mozzarella - delicious Calabrian sausage - very good Tiramisu - very good read more

I absolutely love not having to drive to downtown Austin every time I want good Italian food. Service was spectacular and the ambiance felt homey. The steak melted in my mouth and the black garlic on the prawns made the dish so decadent. I loved the textures in the rigatoni alla vodka. Those breadcrumbs really made the dish. Chef Phillip Lee came over to ask how everything tasted. Overall a solid dining experience north of Austin! read more

We came back for our second visit less than week after our first!! I would love to gatekeep on this place because it's already popping off and reservations are a great idea, but I just can't! The food is just too good!! Service by Jaden and Tim has been phenomenal and the hostess Sam remembered us after just one meal! Great service, fair prices and the FOOD!! Much needed authentic Italian food with the perfect combination of flavors that don't over power your experience! Love this place and will be on our regular rotation! read more

We made our reservation about two weeks in advance after seeing all the hype on social media. With how difficult it was to get a table and hearing so much about the restaurant (including the chef's impressive background), I went in with very high expectations. To be fair, I'm pretty critical when it comes to food, so I try to be as objective as possible. Unfortunately, everything we ordered was just okay. The Margherita pizza was fine, the fried mozzarella sticks were average, the chicken parm was average, and the rigatoni was decent but nothing memorable. None of the dishes were bad, but none stood out either. The atmosphere inside is nice, although I wasn't a huge fan of the location. One issue that affected the experience was how warm it was inside the restaurant. It felt like the air conditioning wasn't keeping up, which made the dining room uncomfortable. Overall, I hate saying this because I was genuinely excited to try it, but I probably won't be back. For the amount of hype, the long wait for reservations, and the expectations that come with a restaurant of this reputation, I was hoping for something exceptional. Instead, everything felt average. The food wasn't bad, but I can find similar dishes at other restaurants that taste better and offer a more memorable experience. read more

We were looking for special last minute dinner option to see my daughter off and this place was perfect! We did not have a reservation but the Host said they had a few cancellations and after short 10-15 min wait he got us seated on Saturday night. The place was packed but service was still good. The ambiance elegant but a little louder than expected. We could still talk just had to speak up a bit. The appetizers, entrees and desserts were well spaced time wise. The food was delicious and Soemthing knew which is nice on this side of town. Really excited about this option and eager to go back and try other menu items. read more

Frank And Margie's - Soft serve dessert - Italian Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

Came here for my boyfriend's birthday and had such a great experience. The bone marrow garlic bread was absolutely incredible..rich, dense, and packed with flavor. It was one of those dishes you keep thinking about long after the meal. The lobster cavatelli was excellent, with perfectly cooked pasta and a delicious, well-balanced sauce. The chicken parm was another standout..crispy, flavorful, and comforting without feeling overly heavy. Service was a bit slow at times, but the staff was genuinely attentive and thoughtful whenever they stopped by our table, which made the wait much easier to overlook. As a birthday surprise, they brought out a soft serve dessert that was phenomenal. The combination of salty and sweet, finished with olive oil, was unexpected and absolutely perfect. For a late-night reservation, the prices felt very reasonable for the quality of the food and overall experience. We had so much fun celebrating here and will definitely be back. read more

Went on a date with my daughter, we saw a tik tok, and decided to give them a try. When we arrived service was incredible, the only minus was we felt like broke people when we asked about the bottle of sparkling water. We took them without a lid or cover, rightfully so but uncomfortable. On their end, it was incredible, will be back again and food was delicious., read more

We were excited to try Frankie & Margie's after hearing it marketed as a "Michelin star chef" restaurant, but the experience was disappointing from the start. My boyfriend called multiple times over several days trying to make a reservation and nobody ever answered, only for us to find out they mainly use the Resy app where reservations were already booked 10-12 days out. The host was also rude when we arrived. We were first told the wait would be 15 minutes, then after giving our number it suddenly became 45 minutes. We ended up waiting around 30, which would've been fine if they had just been honest upfront. When our table was "ready," we were awkwardly left standing there while it was still being cleaned, and the restaurant itself was uncomfortably hot the entire night. The food unfortunately didn't make up for the experience. The prices felt excessive for what was served especially with appetizers over $10, including garlic bread, and no complimentary bread service at the table despite the upscale Italian atmosphere they're clearly going for. I ordered the fettuccine alfredo and asked to add chicken, but was told they were "out of chicken," even though we could clearly see other tables receiving chicken parm. My boyfriend ordered the pepperoni and candied jalapeño pizza, which was very average and overly sweet from too much honey, with barely any jalapeños on it. What really stood out was how misleading the portions were compared to what staff described. I overheard a waitress telling another table the portions were huge and "family style" for 3-4 people, while my $24 fettuccine portion honestly looked like it came from a kids menu. Overall, the restaurant feels more focused on hype and exclusivity than quality, service, or value, and the experience didn't come close to justifying the price point read more

Frank And Margie's - "thin crust" pepperoni and candied jalapeños pizza - Italian Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

I had high hopes for a restaurant from a Michelin-starred chef, but unfortunately, the overall experience was disappointing. We were a party of four with reservations on a Friday night and were looking forward to a relaxed evening and a great meal. After ordering drinks, we asked for a few minutes to look over the menu. When our server returned, we were ready to order appetizers but hadn't yet decided on our entrées. She told us she would prefer to take our entire order at once. We explained that we prefer to order appetizers first and take our time deciding on the main course. She left and returned later, and when we still weren't ready to order entrées, we again asked to place our appetizer order. The insistence on taking the entire order at once made us feel rushed and was an unnecessary distraction from what should have been an enjoyable dining experience. Timing is part of dining, and guests with reservations should be allowed to enjoy their meal at a reasonable pace. The appetizers were actually the highlight. We had the bone marrow garlic bread, Wagyu meatballs, and arancini. The garlic bread was outstanding, the meatballs were good, and the arancini was very good. The chili sauce served with the arancini was especially delicious. Unfortunately, the entrées did not live up to the appetizers or our expectations. Between the four of us, we ordered two pasta dishes, chicken Parmesan, and a pizza. Neither pasta dish was memorable; both were fairly mediocre. The chicken Parmesan was enormous but surprisingly tough, and the pizza was simply OK. For a restaurant associated with a Michelin-starred chef, we expected much more from the main courses. The restaurant itself is lovely, but the music was so loud that it became distracting and made conversation difficult. I also don't understand why a newly designed restaurant wouldn't incorporate better acoustics. A beautiful dining room loses some of its appeal when you have to compete with the noise to enjoy a conversation. There were definitely some bright spots, particularly the appetizers, but between the rushed service, disappointing entrées, and excessive noise, the experience fell well short of what we had anticipated. read more

Packed on a Saturday night. The ambiance is good. The service was better than excellent. We sat at the bar, since we didn't have reservations and didn't want to wait. The bone marrow garlic bread is awesome. The Caesar salad was just a tad too sour, but it was still good. I love anchovies. My wife hates them. LOL I had the Rigatoni. My wife had the Pappardelle and loved it. The Rigatoni had just the right amount of spice. If you get it, make sure to scoop up sauce with every noodle. You're not going to get heaping servings here with food to take home, but the serving size was just right for me and my wife. read more

Food was excellent I had the steak and frites, my son had the pepperoni pizza with cowboy candied jalapeños and honey. Wow that was an excellent choice. We had superb customer service and the ambiance wasn't too bad. We were seated as soon as they opened, it was busy for a Thursday night but that didn't impact our service or food. read more

Oof, I was so excited for this place because I have been constantly making of my pizza from scratch (including the dough and sauce) for the past few months OVER and OVER and OVER until I went crazy and wanted someone else's pizza creation for once this spring. Frank and Margie's touts itself as being from the same origins as Sushi by Scratch and Pasta Bar in Austin. I have a friend that used to be a sushi chef at Sushi by Scratch, and I've been to both with varying opinions from each visit. I thought this place sounded like a better concept than Pasta Bar which I've given a review for before. Unfortunately this place is a mess. There is no sign outside due to logistical oversights. The hostess that day is clearly undertrained. I had a reservation and had some whiplash answers due to some confusion, but hey, that's not a big deal to me. But sitting close to the host station, the confusion had bled into multiple others such as leading parties to unclean tables and having them backtrack. The service is pretty bad in general. Nobody was rude at ALL, but the team NEEDS TO BE TRAINED! Every time a dish came out, the person bringing it would forget what it was. I was told the pizza had 8 slices when it had 6. I would genuinely have the waiter say "and this is the....", set the plate down, say "uh....", and then walk away. Waiters would come and set plates down without taking away plates that are done and thus overcrowding the small table we had. Luckily the aqua panna can't go wrong. As for the food, it's pretty disappointing. The ricotta-stuffed squash blossoms were something I was looking forward to, and it was actually good! But had only two blossoms and the waiter took it away without asking before we even got to try most of the olive tapenade. Grilled prawns were good, but really needed something to accompany it. The pizza's dough was so thin, I actually was amazed at how it kept its structural integrity, but the taste itself was not satisfying and the crust wasn't good. Maybe over time the semolina residue in the oven would yield more residual flavor? My boyfriend even said I made better pizza! The standout was actually the desserts and the cocktail (The Last Word, somehow the only thing the waiter actually named without confusion). Whatever dessert you get is a no-brainer. And to be the devil on your shoulder, why not get both? Overall, I truly would rather spend 3x the price for their other restaurants. This is a skip for me! read more

We started with two appetizers just to gauge the kitchen. Blown away. So we tried the other two. Again. The four of us all ordered something different and share around the table. Amazing. No one felt full or bloated so we ordered a pizza. So worth it. Ordered two each of the desserts and shared those as well. F&M's is batting 1.000 at this point. "I shall return!" read more

We love Frank & Margie's. The only thing we don't like is that they aren't open for lunch. My favorite is the rigatoni alla vodka, Caesar salad, and the sweet cream ice cream. We've tried the steak frites, fried risotto balls, chicken parmigiana, and lamb pappardelle. All were delicious! The tiramisu wasn't my favorite. It was a little too wet for me. Love the vibe there! read more

We just ate at this restaurant and here's my honest review:: 1. Food is decent but not Michelin level. Overpriced but better off sharing plates. 2. Restaurant is beautiful, great vibe, and nice addition to the Round Rock area ...special nod to swanky bar. 3. Pizza was good/average but not exceptional. 4. Chicken Parmesan was just chicken Parmesan and no sides. Ordered pasta for $10 more. The pasta seemed al dente and homemade but nothing special. 5. Overall, I would try it again, but sit at the bar and share a salad and an entrée with my husband. I went to Sammie's downtown and this just doesn't compare to the quality with similar prices. read more

Beautiful vibe, but the food and prices fall short I really wanted to love Frank and Margie's, especially given its reputation, but my experience was a bit of a mixed bag. Starting with the positives: the restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful. The vibe is elegant and romantic, making it a wonderful setting for a special evening out. The customer service was also fantastic--the staff was incredibly attentive and welcoming throughout our meal. However, the food simply does not match the steep price point. We found everything to be heavily overpriced for the portions and quality you actually get. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan, which was $26 and didn't even come with a side of pasta. I had to order a small side portion of pasta separately for an extra $14. To make matters worse, the sauce was incredibly bland and desperately needed salt. My daughter ordered the Rigatoni Alla Vodka which also lacked flavor. For dessert, we tried the tiramisu, but the portion was very small for $14. Along with a lemonade, the bill added up very quickly. I am not a food critic, but I have eaten at many wonderful restaurants, and the taste and value here just do not live up to the cost. You are definitely paying for the gorgeous ambiance and great service, not the quality of the meal. read more

The good...The Ceasars salad was very good and enough for 2. Pizza, the pepperoni & hot honey jalapeño, was very good. Crust was just the right thinness while still being crisp and not too chewy. Server was nice and informative and attentive. The bad....The pappadelle bolognese was just ok. Very small portion for the price. Noodles weren't mixed well with the rest of the dish and wasn't very flavorful. Amd it came out room temperature. If we return, will probably only do a pizza and Ceasar salad. read more

The bad, no signage and pricey! The salad was huge. Family size! Would be good to know prior to ordering. Apps were small and Pricey 3 pieces garlic toast 12.00 6 prawns 18.00! Salmon was delicious. The good, great wait staff and atmosphere. 226.00 plus tip for 3. I felt like there were not a lot of entree choices. I have spent less at Perry's and the food was much better! It was good to try once. I was not sure what the theme was. read more

The only thing I wasn't impressed by was the old building they have leased and a couple of "way over priced"appetizers. Parking seemed to be an issue so get creative (Uber). Our server was great.

We were seated at our reservation time, we sat in the front of the restaurant. Next time I will ask for the back, it was a little warm up front, maybe the A/C was on the fritz. We ordered the bone marrow bread, it was good, not sure I would order again, just to save the room for the main dish, but we wanted to try it. We shared the dishes to compare. Pesto Cavatelli ranked first, amazing flavor and texture. Rigatone alla Vodka ranked second, the sauce was good, no meat, pasta texture was ok. Roasted Salmon, third, just ok, for the price. We did order a Pepperoni, candied Jalapeno, hot honey pizza to go. Even warmed up in the oven the next day for lunch, it was very good. We will go back. read more

Looking forward to trying this new place. Michelin-level chef???? Not much flavor except for fresh lemon. Dishes were room temp. at best and all lacked flavor. Little sauce. Asked for more sauce and finally came and was cold. The "garlic bone marrow bread" was more like a flat bread and no garlic or bone marrow noted. He said they recently changed the garlic bread. Cocktails were not very good. A lemon drop martini should have a sugar rim and served chilled. Mine was not. Also the value of a "premium" restaurant was not what was served to us. I would not recommend this place. Music was a little loud. read more

Extremely mid. Throwing labels around about this place being helmed by a Michelin starred chef is disingenuous. He may be an investor (and Executive Chef in name only), but it just doesn't jive. Best course was the garlic bread with bone marrow. Cesar was good too. Chicken parm, not good. Pappardelle was overly salty, and oily/broken. Pesto pasta broken. Refused to accommodate any request to add any protein to any dish, or on the side. Asked for no ricotta pipings on pappardelle, had to scoop it off. Maybe it's the pizza that makes this place popular, we didn't order it, so can't pass judgement. Server was good! read more

Super excited to try this new restaurant in Round Rock. Upon our visit it looks like this will be another failed restaurant in this cursed location. The host was the only redeeming quality, a bright eyed friendly woman in glasses. The fettuccine Alfredo was similar to soup, a few noodles tossed around with a slightly grainy texture. We had the bone marrow garlic bread which had a few specs on top of butter soaked bread. The drinks that contained lime juice were completely overpowered by the lime. Every drink we ordered was practically a margarita. The service by far was the worst, made us wait to be greeted and was MIA for a majority of our visit. Either our server had too many tables or just didn't care. The latter is more likely considering we saw her on her cell phone at the host stand while we were waiting to order. Obviously we won't be returning, CiCis pizza is in the same shopping center. Save your money for the same food quality and service. read more

Came tonight to celebrate a birthday and it was a wonderful experience. The restaurant itself is adorable with a warm cozy atmosphere. We were blown away by the bluefin tuna crudo and arcini, the pizza was crispy, tasty and delicious, the bolognese was fantastic and the rigatoni alla vodka was the best I think I've ever had. Ending with the delicious tiramisu and double espresso made this one of the best meal experiences we've had read more

Honestly, I never leave negative reviews, but this experience was disappointing enough that I felt compelled to share it. We started with the bone marrow toast, and the bread was burned black. It wasn't just toasted, it was charred to the point that it overwhelmed the dish. Both cocktails we ordered were made incorrectly. About 10 minutes later, our server took them back and brought the correct drinks, but there was no acknowledgment or apology. I ordered the lobster pasta, which contained little to no actual lobster and had the consistency of a soup rather than a pasta dish. My wife ordered the mushroom pizza, and the homemade sauce was surprisingly sweet and didn't complement the pizza well. I went in wanting to enjoy this restaurant because I love good Italian food, but unfortunately every course missed the mark. More than a week later, I'm still thinking about how disappointing the meal was, which is why I decided to leave this review. Hopefully management takes the feedback seriously and improves the experience for future guests. read more

This is the best restaurant in Round Rock without a doubt. Everything on the menu is high quality and not the typical Cisco stuff. read more

Server was professional, courteous and friendly. The food, not Michelin star quality as advertised. Nothing spectacular but ok. Wine list certainly lacking unless you want to pay $150 for a bottle. Not catering to the general public. Any fine restaurant offers reasonable pricing ranging from $40-$60 per bottle if desired. Losing a portion of customers there. Ceasar salad was great. Spaghetti/clam dish was not what was expected. Typically a white wine tasty sauce, not a red spicy sauce? No clams that I can see in the actual sauce as well. Pizza was good but not spectacular. Quality for the price if off. Wish them the best but improvements need to be made. read more

I guess I should have checked these yelp reviews before going... I was super excited to try this place with all the good press it was getting on instagram. But from the moment we walked in, we were greeted by rude host who acted like she worked at the hottest restaurant in Tribeca. Once seated, service was SOOOO slow. No one came to our table for several minutes, not even to acknowledge our existence. Then our server Meera came and greeted us without any apology for the long wait. BUT, in a believer in redemption. Though annoyed, I ordered a bottled of wine and it was delivered by another staff and we had a nice conversation about the restaurant opening and how it was going. My friend had to take a call so I sat alone for quite awhile... again, with our server not checking back. Once my friend returned, our server finally came back to ask to take out order. We ordered our food ... arancini, Cesar Salad, fettuccini and the pepperoni and candied jalapeño pizza. Food not great. Idk if it was the wide oval plate they used but there was a to. Of noodles and the Fettuccini looked like it was missing some noodles. And I like al dente noodles, but this was less cooked than al dente. Pizza was SUPER greasy that we used three napkins to try to dab some of it off the pizza. Great crust though! We ate 2 slices of pizza and near the end of our meal our Server asked if we wanted to take the rest home, as well as the salad which we answered yes to the pizza and no for the salad. What seemed Ike a long while later, we asked her if she was going to bring out our pizza and she said, yes. When it came out, it was in a bag along with a Cesar salad. Ok, thought it would come in a pizza box since more than half was left over and don't love that she decided to stack our pizza in a container but whatever. We ordered tiramisu, which tasted old, as it it was over soaked and there was way too much coco powder on top. Here is what pushed it over the edge for me... we looked in the bag and looked at the pizza and saw there was only 2 pieces in the container. Whose food it this!?!?! When we brought this to Meeras attention... and let her know we did not think it's our food, she held the bag, looked at us and said something along the line of ... "uh, not yours" without any apology. She took the food back then came out with a pizza box. Again without apology. At this point, I have zero idea where our food was, why it was back in the kitchen for so long (if that's where it was) and how many people have opened and closed that pizza box to see what it was. Needless to say, we did not take the pizza with us. On top of that, she brought the bag out and it belonged to the table next to us. We also had someone deliver the arancini where he stood at the table then proceeded to wait until my friend and I moved thing so he can set the plate down which was super awkward and he stated he didn't want to touch the food plates. Mind you, there were other things on the table he could have moved to make space (wine glass, wine, bottle, candle..) instead of making his customers move things around while he stood there. Overall, super disappointing and there Italian restaurants with much superior service and good food that I'd rather visit. read more
