It's really too bad that this place has terribly slow service, because otherwise it is quite a good restaurant. We sat inside even though there is outside seating. The menu is written on chalk boards throughout the restaurant. Interesting menu. We had calamari panzanella salad, a mixed seafood antipasto, mixed regular antipasto, cannoli with mozzarella and anchovy, and pata negra ham to start. Spaghetti alle vongole, tender pork shoulder with potatoes, pork thigh, marinated grilled chicken followed. Dessert was millefoglie with chocolate, pistacchio cream in a crispy shell, and a type of ice cream sandwich. Excellent white wine.
The waiter warned us about the wait and even suggested that we order certain things over others in order to avoid an excessive wait, but honestly it seemed like the kitchen just couldn't get it together. I can understand waiting when a restaurant is full and it is peak dinner hour, however, we sat down at 10pm and the place was not even half full. The meal ended at 12.45 am, which is ridiculous. This is not a one off since our friends had been before and experienced the same wait. You be the judge, I however, will not be returning.
