Hmmmmmmm where do I begin? First of all I am giving a fairly low amount of stars because I am always GREATLY put off by restaurants who charge you for "the service" (that's what the guy working there called it) of delivering 2 glasses of tap water to my table. Yes a separate charge for each time the glass was filled with water. The water is filtered I was told. Reaaalllyyy? My argument is if that is true than why are you also offering bottled water? Someone please correct if I'm wrong....smh. Moving on...
The Drink:
Two glasses of overly priced tap water that rang up to $40 pesos.
The Starter:
A romaine lettuce (I already know what you're thinking but I'm not dead yet....stay tuned) salad was straight out of a bag and served with a bottled creamy dressing. The pieces were huge and there was no knife to be seen; so I powered through.
The Main Course:
Piping hot pomodoro sauce enveloping a very large oblong bowl of spaghetti noodles was topped with mozzarella instead of Parmesan as the menu promised.
The Dessert:
A sloppily served scoop of whatever ice cream was in the freezer at the time gloppily (yes I made that up) topped with the local cajeta caramel sauce most restaurants like to use around here.
The salad and the pasta both came with buttered and toasted pieces is bread.
If the meal had been unusually good maybe I would have kicked in another star, but it was just normal.
Also, the other Italian place in the El Centro neighborhood next to Telcel is very upfront about how much they charge for drinks. In fact, the water they offer is only bottled. And there are free refills... even on sodas. Even Candy Cake offers Italian food up to a certain hour. I could go on but I'm sure you get my point.
With all that said I'm glad I at least tried this place but I won't be back anytime soon.....probably never since there's other options within a 5 minute drive that has better food and better value. read more
