Don't Let This Happen to You! August 06, 2007 Food Service Atmosphere Cleanliness Overall        Sunday, 8/5/07. I arrrived at the restaurant at 5PM to meet a friend for dinner. The front door was propped open. Entering the restaurant was not pleasant. There was a musty odor and the air conditioning was not on. There was no one to greet me or seat me since the two young inexperienced waitresses were busy chatting in the cocktail lounge. I requested that the AC be turned on. It was. I was seated with a menu. My friend arrived was seated without a menu. He had to request one. The waitress arrived and I requested a vodka and tonic. She left to place the order in the bar and returned to inform me that liquor was not served on Sunday. Why couldn't she have told me that initially? We stuck to basics. My friend ordered Veal Parmigana (came with a side of spagetti). I ordered spaghetti (menu said "homemade" on the menu) with meat sauce. The salad bowl arrived with iceberg--not Romaine lettuce--with the usual Italian style addeded extras. House dressing was Italian and appeared homemade. My "spaghetti" arrived. Instead on spaghetti I was served linguini drenched in tomato sauce with crushed plumb tomatoes--no meat in the meat sauce. The sauce was unimpressive. I told the waitress that I ordered meat sauce. The bimbo that served me said, "Well you have to request meatballs if you want meat...!" Dah! My friend's Veal Parmigana with spaghetti seemed adequate and the veal was made from scratch. My advise to the management: school your staff on when liquor is and is not served, advise them to explain to customers what your idea of meat sauce is, and school the kitchen staff on the difference between "spaghetti" and "linguini." Although I live in the neighborhood and it would be convenient for me to patronize this place and I think I'll file and forget this one!! Review By: Anonymous Review From: South Euclid, Ohio
