I had the misfortune of going to this place last Wednesday. 7/1/09. The older gentleman "host" seemed to act as if we were doing him a favor by eating there. Service was extremely slow, my sister thought maybe because we were two women, but by the reviews I see, it's just the crappy service. The waiters keep the check books in the back of there pants so when I got the bill I also got the waiters butt sweat. I never complained once until I went to the bathroom. It looked like a toilet had overflown, wet toilet paper all over the floor and just plain gross. I said to the "host" as we were leaving "I think you should check the condition of the bathroom" he literally raised his shoulder and walked by me. I said "excuse me?", he then walked by me again giving me that cold shoulder movement. I have never experienced such rudeness - EVER!!! I am sorry to say that after I left I was so enraged by this I went back into the restaurant, spat on the floor and said "clean this up (explitive)!" Not my finest moment, but have to say it felt good. I would have rather gone to the pizzeria - the food would have been better, they would have be nicer and the place would have been cleaner. Oh, and their bathrooms weren't handicapped compliant. Guess they care about people in wheelchairs as much as they do everone else!

Alright, well it looked decent enough. Stopped in there before heading to a show. No wait for a table, but we did wait for the older gentlemen posing at the host to acknowledge our presence, and he begrudgingly showed us to a table. It took quite some time for a server to come by, no one ever took our drink orders (it was not too busy at the time). When a server did arrive, he acted odd when we ordered drinks with our food. The drinks came rather quickly, but we were done with our drinks before the food arrived. And when it done, one dish was cold - so they nuked it. We had ordered another round of drinks when the food arrived...the drinks arrived around the same time as the check. The bread - which I normally love... - was stale. chewy. not good. Our server was decent enough, but he did not pay attention to us, and he asked me questions in regards to my mother's order (um, she can speak for herself). All in all, a regretful experience. Did I mention the pink neon lights surrounding the bar???? The only plus that I noticed was that around the time we were finishing up, a bass player and piano player began playing, which would add a lot to the atmosphere. Unfortunately, either due to their placement or to the poor acoustics, you could barely hear them. I say-don't eat there. It's not worth the aggravation. And the food does not make up for the atmosphere. =(

I made the mistake of stopping in for a cup of coffee last Friday night. I also happen to have Parkinson's Disease. The imbicile behind the bar accused me of being "strung out" and said we don't serve coffee at the bar as I watched the woman next to me sip her coffee. After explaining my condition, not only did he not apologize for being so rude, he still refused to serve me coffee and charged me $3 for a club soda instead. I have never been so humilated in my life. I don't know this jerk's name, but he has long dark hair, a cheesy p@rn star mustache and wears a chain wallet (is this an Italian Restuarant or biker bar?) Think Adam Morrison on steroids. Avoid this dump at all costs until he is fired. There are so many better Italian Restuarants in the Theater District that don't hire cave men as bartenders.
