Love the food and service here!!
I had the stuffed veal chop and it was excellent. They had seats outside and it was a nice evening and the streets were blocked off in preparation for San Gennaro so it was more private too. Our waiter was very attentive. I would go back.
Lovely would go back again.
Awesomee
I had 2 waiters. The second one never checked on us after our food arrived. We didn't get any water. It took 45 minutes from the time my plate was cleared before I received my bill. We said we were done when he removed the plates.
The veal chop genevose is beyond this world! Very tasteful, lean, large portion and a quality cut!
Do not use a Groupon here, they handled it very poorly. I almost walked out paying more than the bill was worth after adding in what I spent for the Groupon. Luckily, I only paid retail hence no discount at all. On top that, they were very rude about it. The sad thing for them was the food was actually good and I will NEVER go back!
They added a 35% "service Charge" to our bill prior to the Groupon Discount, then subtracted the cash value of the Groupon instead of the exact price of the menu items. This was NOT in the small print, nor discussed with us prior to us redeeming. I'm am certain we got screwed when the bill came.
The food, value and ambiance were very good. Unfortunately they found that filming a reality show for E television took precedent over serving their customers already dining in the restaurant when the filming began. We sat FOREVER waiting for someone to come and acknowledge us after our meals were served.
