It's not very good at Vino Amore. In fact it may well be the most difficult meal that I've endured…read morein quite some time. From the moment we sat down. I should have known to eat elsewhere, anywhere but this place. Maybe it was the lack of customers, or the completely clueless waiter who seemed to wish that he was on a beach catching some zzzzs. Whatever the case, he was disinterested and had to ask twice about our order. But getting back to the restaurant. I order a Peroni but they were out of it. So I ordered another beer, out of that too. And another. Out. They said they had a wheat beer (blue moon like). It came out flat and lukewarm. About a half hour passed and finally lunch arrived. I had ordered a meatball sandwich. What came on the plate was hardly edible. One tiny meatball, sliced thinly and layered between cheese that tasted of the fridge and a smear of lukewarm sauce. It was completely inedible. I picked around the plate hoping the meatballs would magically become flavorful, but alas, the only flavor I detected was that of liquid oozing out of the bread. It was supposed to be garlic bread but it resembles creamed chipped beef on toast. My companion had a Caesar salad without extra cheese and with grilled chicken. The waiter had to come back to the table twice. First to tell us that the cheese would be on the side, (old and flavorless slices of domestic Parmesan is just lazy in an Italian restaurant. The Caesar was missing the croutons! We waited another ten minutes to get a little cup of boxed, old tasting croutons. The chicken tasted like rubber. Probably from a bag, pre-scored with grilled chicken marks. Lazy again. I brought the sandwich back into the restaurant to complain and point helpfully at the mess that they wanted to charge me twenty dollars for. Needless to say it didn't appear of the check. And the iced tea my companion ordered may have been tea in a former life, but not recently. It was really terrible. Cheap Dixie cup plastic disposable cups for water. Again. Just lazy. Use a real plastic cup please. Conclusion? We should have gone elsewhere. It was a really bad sign that the restaurant was completely empty at 1:30 in the afternoon. That everyplace in town was bustling. But this one looked abandoned. I don't wish them poorly. Just a career change is warranted here. Food and beverage is not their forte. Nor is customer service. Nor their beverage program. Definitely not their food. Nor the service. Nor the cheap plastic disposable cups.

This restaurant has so much potential... great location by the Hudson, the menu sounds delicious,…read moreand a party room available if needed. Unfortunately, we were left feeling pretty underwhelmed. First off, the food took quite long to come out. Nobody came to the guests of honor to let them know what was going on. It wasn't until the guests of honor said something to the staff that everything "sped up". It was all very reactive instead of proactive. Secondly, the food was left a bit to be desired. The chicken parmigiana was unfortunately pretty dry for something that had sauce, while the salmon (although moist) lacked a bit of flavor and could have used a sauce. Make it make sense please?! Some of the items seemed like they were not made from the scratch, i.e. the pizza and the crispy mashed potatoes. The best dish of the night was the penne vodka. I honestly wish they brought more of that out, but for some reason the portions for that dish were quite small. It seemed like they just ran out of that dish, and just put any small amount on the plates. Towards the end of the night, it just seemed like the staff stopped caring about the guests, and were just phoning it in. They barely came to check on us. Even any chain restaurant would do something as easy as that. At some point, even the drink orders came out wrong. Sprite instead of water for all of the guests, coffee for people who didn't order coffee, alcoholic drinks that were given to the wrong guests. And literally nobody was there to help the guests of honor cut and serve the cake. The guests of honor had to use a butter knife to cut the cake because nobody came to provide a proper knife or even offer to take the cake and cut it. With the slow service and the amount of time the food took to come out, I think it would have been more understandable if the food was amazing and/or presented well, but it was honestly as pretty basic as you can get. All in all, I feel pretty bad for the guests of honor that they had to experience such a thing: Basic food, inattentive service, and lackluster management.

We hosted our daughter's first birthday here, and unfortunately it was one of the worst dining…read moreexperiences we've ever had. There were extreme wait times between every course, to the point where half of our guests left before cake because we were sitting around with no waitress in sight. Our server barely came to the table at all -- no check-ins, no refills, no asking if we needed anything. She didn't even bring Parmesan cheese for the pasta course, which we asked for multiple times. My husband ended up going into the kitchen several times just to find someone to help us. The food was just as bad. Many dishes were undercooked, poorly seasoned, or simply inedible. My husband and I couldn't eat our meals at all. The children's chicken fingers were so bad even my nine-year-old refused to eat them, and several family members left their plates untouched because the food tasted that terrible. One of our dishes even had a hair in it, which is completely unacceptable. By the time we were ready for cake, we waited so long for staff to return that my husband went and got the plates and knife himself just so we could cut the cake and leave. The entire experience was stressful, embarrassing, and nothing like what we expected for such an important milestone. We spoke with the manager, and although she claimed she wanted to make it right, very little was actually done to fix or acknowledge how bad the situation was. I rarely write negative reviews, but what happened at this restaurant was beyond disappointing. I would not recommend hosting any type of event here based on our experience.

Solid dinner experience at Lanni's!…read more My friend and I had tickets for a local play at 8:00 PM so we made a 5:30 PM reservation at Lanni's. To my surprise, by 6:00, this place was hopping! Classic and inspired cocktail list. Very Italian-forward. We pretty much ordered our appetizers and entrees off the specials menu, because why not? The prosciutto and melon was by far the best we've ever had. The beef carpaccio was melt-in-your-mouth amazing. The bolognese was heavenly, and the lava cake was sinfully delicious. Our server was a riot. Personable, efficient, and funny. He truly elevated our experience! The decor is beautiful. I love the wallpaper. Home run!

Super frigid with little pieces of ice, yum and three olives There were people eating at the bar, and the wife and I will definitely be doing that. We saw this beautiful appetizer, and we had to order it 2 large shrimp and some lump crab with huge pieces of crab, served with a nice cocktail sauce and a horseradish sauce. The apps and salads are huge, so you'll need to share. For mains we had the crab cake, eggplant parmigiana, pasta with sausage and I had the soft shell crabs, my favorites. The place is charming and the service superb. Loved all except the crab cake.

This was my second time to this restaurant. My family really liked their food last time so we…read moredecided to return. The seating was awful. There was no room to even breathe. We overheard the owner of the restaurant literally tell his staff to get rid of us in five minutes plus some additional choice words that I won't repeat. We are a family of 8 and we were trying to celebrate my birthday. We are not a rowdy group (no one would have heard us if we were noisy because it's so loud already) and we were just trying to have a nice meal together. I confronted the owner who denied everything. I told him that we won't be back. He displayed the most disgraceful attitude I've ever experienced in a restaurant. I do not recommend this establishment or the other restaurant Lani's that this man owns (worst food I ever had for way too much money and again no room to even breathe). This person who is the owner is a real piece of work. He will lose a whole lot of customers. Shame on you! I'm embarrassed for the owner behaving like an animal in front of my family. Never again. Just for reference, our reservation was for 6pm and we were out of the door at 7:45pm. Also. I'd like to note that the wait staff was very good, too bad they have to work under the thumb of a jerk.

Otto's Full Service is in a great location in Piermont that used to be a gas station. It's really…read morecool how the space has been converted. It's vibey with a big space that allows for weddings / bdays / dinner parties, etc. They offer free valet parking as parking in Piermont can be hard to find. I really wanted to enjoy Otto's Full Service but unfortunately did not. We came for Sunday brunch and were seated next to the piano. At times, it was difficult to conversationally but cool at the same time. I will add that the brunch menu felt very random - you go from fried Cajun oysters to a fried chicken sandwich or a beef gyro. The food was good - must try the fried Cajun oysters! The buttermilk pancakes were tasty as well. They were bananas foster so it was like eating dessert. The service was not as good. Our server seemed to avoid us as much as possible, it was clear she didn't want to be there. We even heard her tell the hostess that she didn't want anyone else to be seated in her section and it wasn't that busy. She never came back to ask us if we wanted more drinks. The manager, Bill, walked the room and made his way around to say hello and check in with tables. He was very welcoming and nice - wish she would take a cue from him.

No, Otto's -- I'm not altering my review…read more A year after I posted my original review, I was contacted directly by the restaurant. I was not offered an apology for the multiple issues we experienced, including the band-aid in our take-home container. Instead, I was asked why I hadn't deleted a picture from my review, as they believe I have "made my point." Otto's contact speaks volumes. It shows a clear lack of accountability and concern for customer experience and food safety. I have attached a screenshot of the message to this review for full transparency. My original one-star rating stands, now reinforced by this unprofessional follow-up.

Seafood is the obvious draw here. The seafood is fresh and you can find anything your seafood heart desires. Crab cakes were great, not a lot of filler. Ok wine and beer list, nothing fancy. Service was exceptionally friendly and parking was easy. If you want good seafood and don't mind eating it in a very casual atmosphere (outside is plastic outdoor furniture), then you'll be in for a treat!
