Worst Meal We've Ever Had!
I am not Italian. I'm not a super great cook. But I can prepare carbonara far better than this restaurant.
Carbonara is one of our very favorite meals to enjoy while in Italy, so we were looking forward to this dish and we were told by the waiter that it was the chef's specialty.
After we ordered a glass of wine, a small plate of appetizers was brought out. They were not hot and tasted like they had been frozen and reheated then left to sit for awhile. But we were not too concerned, after all, this was compliments of the restaurant.
The carbonara was brought to the table, and was literally not as good as a frozen dinner that you would heat in the microwave. There was absolutely no sauce. None whatsoever. This was simply a plate of dry pasta. I asked if the chef could add mushrooms, and they were clearly canned. There was a small bit of egg, and even smaller bits of pancetta, but the dish was dry and tasteless. We asked the waiter if we could get some white sauce to add to make it a little more palatable, and we were told 'not possible'.
We took a food tour a few days ago and we were told, "If the place is glitzy and offers countless choices, avoid it." Well, we were duly warned and we didn't listen. Big mistake.
The prices are great, unless you want a meal that you can actually eat. I almost never write a bad review, but this was seriously the worst meal I have ever had in my life. If you want satisfaction, avoid this place like the plague and go to one of the many other places in the city read more
