"We had high hopes for this place, since we eat at Italian restaurants in every city we visit, and they have all been exceptionally good at certain dishes. This place indeed had an exceptional bruschetta, but that’s where the positives end. As we eagerly (and hungrily) waited for the main dishes, the place started to get crowded and so warm that I started to sweat. We asked for ice for our drink, but they didn’t even have ice… not a great sign. Finally, the main dishes arrived. We ordered a margarita pizza and the mushroom risotto. Apparently, the chef tipped over a can of salt that feel on our food, since it was so salty we didn’t finish either dishes. The risotto was salty, but edible enough that we ate half of it out of hunger, but the pizza salt (which we had just one slice each) was so salty the taste lingered till we cleansed our pallets with ice cream. The weird part was the manager came over midway to ask about our meal, and we told him how salty it was. He said he will check and get back to us. He didn’t come back, and instead just sent the waitress to tell us nothing was wrong with the food. As we left the restaurant with our plates barely touched, we passed the manager as he just shrugged as if to say, “sorry you didn’t like the food, nothing I can do”. Surely there is more he could’ve done, but I’m not one to have a confrontation over such matters. TL;DR yummy bruschetta, salty main dishes, average service and atmosphere."
