They rush you. if you are not jay z or some cheezy model

by ihatebarpitti85

The owner thinks he is "cosa nostra" untouchable gangster type. They will rush you out and take wine out of your hand. Food is overrated but the ambiance is nice if you like the owner starng you down to order.. Waitress and waiters stink. owner is crass and and forgets what it is like to struggle. horrendous experience but they do not care because it will always be packed. I saw a vermon run under my feet as I ate a meatball.

• Pros: location
• Cons: rush. dogfood meatballs

Move em in, move em out

by EatsAroundALotHK

Hadn't been in a while, thought I'd go back. Wish I hadn't. The food was kinda ok, the meal was very rushed and not long after paying our bill, the waiter grabbed his 20% tip and asked "everything ok over here guys?" I responded, "yes, thank you" to which he said (with attitude) "people are waiting." There were 4 people waiting and the restaurant was not packed. As we walked out, I told the owner "we were 2 sips away from done, I didn't need to be told to leave" and he mocked me for the beneift of the people waiting for our table. So, if you want to drop over $100 (cash only) and not be allowed to finish your wine, jump in!

• Cons: They'll kick you out!

A bar without Pitti

by DOH10001

The outdoor cafe was a nice amenity. The wait staff are a bit harried, and the maitre'd was unhelpful about how long the wait would be, since they do not take reservations.

But their 'peasant' dishes were delicious, a lot better than most 'red sauce' restaurants.

• Pros: nice authentic different fare
• Cons: harried service
