What People Are Saying About Puttanesca Italian Restaurant

The Editor

Kathleen Squires

Citysearch

The Scene – Brick and bright-orange painted walls, tall windows and ceilings lend a courtyard feel to the busy dining room. Patrons are a mix of pre-theater and local regulars whose relaxed laughter and gesturing conversations add much to the restaurant's flavor. – – The Food – Simple works best with the pastas, as in chile-kissed spaghetti arrabbiata or linguini with clams, both cooked to a perfect firmness. But meat-filled tortellini with small dices of prosciutto, mushrooms and peas in a creamy parmesan sauce arrives gummy, and the same problem plagues the wild…

Unauthentic Italian Food in an Uninspiring atmosphere

by MSchussler

Nothing is really special about Puttanesca. The service is terrible, music way too loud and you're greeted by trashy looking scantily clad hostesses. To make matters worse waiters never seem to get your orders right. Only pro is that the place is reasonably priced. Avoid if you can.

  • Pros: Reasonably priced
  • Cons: Bad Service, bland food and fake feel

Stay Away!

by Sparks021

Awful service!

After staring at us when she found out we didn't have reservations, as if we had done something wrong...the hostess spent spent five minutes deciding where to seat us. Mind you, there were about 6 empty tables. Food was mediocre, nothing special at all. Overpriced. The waiter made us wait 15 minutes before he came over to introduce himself. Food took way too long to come out. And we had to wait almost 20 minutes to find the waiter again and ask for the check.

There are plenty of other great Italian places on 9th...stay away from this place!

  • Pros: Nothing I can think of
  • Cons: Food. Service. Wait Staff. Hostess.

Awful Food at Awful Prices

by synthesyzer

Worst food experience that I have had in the city since I've been here. Ordered two dishes for delivery that were both supposed to have wild mushrooms as the main ingredients. Both came with nothing but noodles with cheap canned mushrooms...the supposed "stuffed ravioli" came as noodles...delivery guy was a moron....not to mention it was way overpriced. Ugh...

  • Pros: None
  • Cons: Horrible food, False menu descriptions, Overpriced
