“Food so bad we are still in shock. Bread was mushy and tasteless. Haven't seen this kind of lousy pseudo-Italian bread since the 1960s. Small pizza marguerite was also flavorless. We asked for a very crisp crust. What we got was lightly baked. Four salads were without flavor or color. Three of us asked for vinegar and oil, one for blue cheese. We were served four salads with gloppy bottled Italian dressing. My fettuccine with chicken and pesto was dreadful. The chicken was gray and flavorless like cafeteria "mystery meat." The pasta was way overcooked and the pesto (which they called "green basil sauce") was thin and flavorless. One order was screwed up entirely, even though the place was virtually empty - so not like the waiter was busy. Only one other table occupied when we ordered. He barely apologized, and then took forever to bring a replacement - why we don't know, since the place was still empty - only three tables (including us) occupied at the time. Atmosphere is awful - dark, dingy, with cheap faux-Tiffany lamps from the 1960s. A truly unpleasant evening. Avoid at all costs. There are dozens of restaurants on Restaurant Row. This one is terrible.”
