I didn't have a good experience here. I had been walking and fancied some good old Italian food with a nice glass of red. I just like meat sauce and penne or spaghetti with a little bread. When I saw the traditional style of this restaurant from the outside, I thought this would be just the ticket. Unfortunately, I'd forgotten my glasses, so when the bartender handed me the menu and I couldn't see my usual dish, I asked him if they'd make me ordinary meat sauce and pasta. He said he'd ask, then agreed but there was only spagettini and no penne. Then when I wanted a glass of Malbec, there was none on the wine list. I tried another but it wasn't as good. When my food arrived, I tucked in. I tasted fatty, gamey meat so I asked if it was beef. The bartender said their meat sauce is a mixture of veal, pork and beef. Yuk. Something to note if you don't eat those for religious purposes, etc. The hot bread from the oven was nice (served with olive oil), but the little portion of bread that comes with dinner was more like dense, sweet cornbread than something I'd have with Italian. When I said I couldn't eat it and I'd just have the check, he initially placed the bill in front of me and passive aggressively said "Safe travels." I think he expected me to argue but I didn't. He had a little attitude, explaining the way Italian sauces are made. Funny... when I was in Rome only a short time ago (or Venice the year before), I never saw dishes like these. When I put a score through the tip part of the $28 tab and was empty bellied, he then asked me if there was anything else he could've done. I explained that I should've chosen something without meat perhaps. His manager told him to get me the arrabiatta (another favourite of mine). The sauce was spicy, however, there were whole big pieces of tomato in it and it was very watery. So if you like 'new style' Italian, this is your place. If you don't want Italian messed around with too much, make your own. I should've. Three stars for (eventually) trying to help the customer. I did leave a tip at the end but not rushing back.
