Took my husband there for outdoor lunch for the first time. Relying on an earlier visit when I treated my son to a marvelous lunch, a bottle of Pinot Director s cut, dessert, games of Bocci ball and backgammon poolside. This visit couldn t have been more different. After being seated, we were ignored for 30 minutes: No water, no bread, no acknowledgement. Finally, I made my way back to hostess and told her we were still waiting for a server to approach out table. Had the nice wine, food was haphazardly served: very little dressing on Caesar and Vesuvius pizza was totally overstuffed with Ricotta and not much meat. Our service was sad afterward We ate as well. Thank goodness it was a nice day. I was sad I had recommended this as an alternative Valentines celebration (my husband was out of town for Valentines and a week prior). Of course, we waited for both Bocci ball courts but the group Played on ordering another bottle of wine and they used the backgammon tables to pour and eat on. No games today. Will think twice about bringing any more guests!
