• The food was ok.
• Bad service, bad atmosphere, outdated technology, poor management.

“I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone. First of all, we had reservations and waited 5 minutes before we saw a living person at the hosted stand. Then when seated, it took forever to get drinks and appetizers ordered when there were only two other tables seated in the whole restaurant. There was bread plates and butter on the table, but no bread. We ordered expensive appetizers that we waited 30 minutes on. After we ate our appetizers, our free bread came out. Our dinner entrées were on one the menu as coming with salads and sides of linguine. I mixed the sauces around a bit so that the sides didn't have two red sauces or two Alfred sauces on the pasta side. After ordering, the waiter came out and said, that one dish didn't come with the side, there would be extra charges for the switching of sauces, because one dish was a certain dish, it didn't it had a special surcharge - none of which were on the menu. We were in the restaurant, that again, had a total of 5 tables at the most, from 7:15 pm, to 9:45. Two adults and two children. When the bill came, it was over $85.00. I was appalled as this was no where what the prices should have been based on the menu, even with two glasses of wine, which were the only alcoholic beverages we ordered. I gave my credit card and when the bill was returned, they changed it to $91.58! The waiter said, someone checked his math and it was wrong so they just changed it. This was the last straw. He sent the manager out, who was in the back cooking. He came out and admitted that our meal was a mess. He said that was how it was when you were training all new people. It was obvious that all of their equipment was old and outdated. He said, all he could say was he was sorry and maybe he could give us a discount next time. I said, maybe I should take a digital picture of the outrageous tab that they'd been writing all over that you could barely read and send it into Go-Triad or something. This experience was the worst dining experience that I have had in many years. I had guest in from out of town and was so embarrassed that I could have died.”

• Food and wine list.
• No negatives.

“Really excellent Italian food and friendly service. Try the specials rather than hitting the menu, because that's what they want to cook that night. Also good value on the wine list, and you can try just about everything by the glass. If the service seems a little slow, it's because they're making everything from scratch, and it shows when it gets to the table. Plenty of parking. Amalfi is regular little gem, and we're going back soon.”
