Cafe Garibaldi Ristorante的点评
点评：OK so I've lived in St. Catharines for 22 years and this Italian restaurant has always been a fixture on our main street but up until now I'd never been - mainly because the olive green exterior colour put me off. But now I've been and I will NEVER go back. My Italian hairdresser told me to go and I wish I'd not listened. I took my husband for our 30th wedding anniversary.
I had looked at their website online first and it stated they had a veggie/vegan menu which is great because my husband is veggie. Alas, when we got to the restaurant no veggie/vegan menu in sight. I asked the waiter who said they could change meat-based dishes around to suit veggies. The website also said they were open for lunch 11:30-2:30 but when I called for lunch they said they didn't do lunch. Hmmm. First red flag. The place itself is rather outdated and old fashioned; I can't see anyone younger than 50 coming here - second red flag. The chairs were saggy and the decor is a muddy greeny brown. Saturday night and there was an older couple there and us - that's it - third red flag. No atmosphere whatsoever.
At this point I wish we'd just left before ordering anything. My husband picked a caprese salad ($13) and eggplant parm ($15). I chose rack of lamb with roast potatoes and asparagus/carrots ($43). Firstly, may I point out the menu was limited, a one sheet piece paper encased in a hard plastic cover - I presume to clean it better following covid, not sure? But for a restaurant that claims to be "fine dining" that was my fourth red flag. The waiter was attentive and thorough but then there were only two sets of diners in the entire restaurant. He brought a basket of different kinds of breads and iced water - these we both really appreciated. I've just come back from Portugal where they charge you at least 5 euros for still water and bread at the table. So that was really nice. The table and cutlery were very clean which I really appreciated as well.
The caprese salad was fine. However, the eggplant parm was a big plate of mushy mush topped with tomatoes. To me eggplant parm should be fried with a nice crust. This did not resemble eggplant parm or any kind of parm we have ever eaten. I had requested medium for my lamb which should be a nice pink, not bloody. The lamb arrived unevenly cooked, two of the pieces were raw in the middle and they obviously had not been rested as there was blood soaking into my potatoes. Also no crust on the lamb and no sauce or jus. I had to take my plate to the back of the restaurant to get the waiter's attention to ask for the lamb to be cooked properly. Then when it came back the veggies were cold and still soaked in the blood. However, the lamb and veggies did taste rather good so the seasoning was on point. And I liked the way the veggies were all cooked too.
I was thinking about dessert but was sorely disappointed when I looked at their dessert cabinet at the back. They have plates of desserts in the cabinet e.g. tiramisu, but the waiter told me they only actually had two desserts available: a strawberry pie and a pecan pie. The plated desserts were only props. I was shocked. This is a HUGE red flag to me. I felt like I was in a museum at that point.
We left as soon as we'd eaten our meals. $90 inc. tax and tip for two starters, one main and no drinks or desserts. Quite disappointing. I honestly do know know how this restaurant is still existing. They must have a regular clientele whose families have been coming for decades. For good reasonably priced Italian fare - inc. a decent selection of desserts - I'd recommend Cafe Amore or Lina Linguini's instead.

翻译：好吧，我在圣凯瑟琳斯住了 22 年，这家意大利餐厅一直是我们主要街道上的常客，但直到现在我还从未去过——主要是因为橄榄绿的外观颜色让我望而却步。但现在我已经去过了，而且永远不会回去。我的意大利理发师让我走，但我希望我没有听。我带我丈夫来庆祝我们结婚 30 周年纪念日。
我先在网上浏览了他们的网站，上面说他们有素食/纯素食菜单，这很棒，因为我丈夫是素食主义者。唉，当我们到达餐厅时，看不到素食菜单。我问服务员，他说他们可以改变肉类菜肴以适应蔬菜。该网站还说他们的午餐时间是11:30-2:30，但是当我打电话去吃午餐时他们说他们不做午餐。嗯。第一个红旗。这个地方本身相当过时和老式。我看不到任何 50 岁以下的人来这里——这是第二个危险信号。椅子下垂，装饰是泥泞的绿棕色。周六晚上，那里有一对年长的夫妇和我们——就是这样——第三个危险信号。一点气氛都没有。
此时我希望我们在订购任何东西之前就离开。我的丈夫选择了凯普雷塞沙拉（13 美元）和茄子帕尔玛（15 美元）。我选择了羊排配烤土豆和芦笋/胡萝卜（43 美元）。首先，我可以指出菜单是有限的，一张纸包裹在硬塑料盖中 - 我想在新冠病毒之后更好地清洁它，不确定吗？但对于一家自称“美食”的餐厅来说，这是我的第四个危险信号。服务员很细心，很周到，但整个餐厅里只有两组食客。他带来了一篮子不同种类的面包和冰水——我们都很欣赏这些。我刚从葡萄牙回来，那里的饮用水和面包至少要收 5 欧元。所以那真的很好。桌子和餐具非常干净，我也很欣赏。
卡普雷塞沙拉很好吃。然而，茄子帕尔姆是一大盘糊状糊状，上面放着西红柿。对我来说，茄子应该和漂亮的外皮一起煎。这不像茄子帕尔姆或我们吃过的任何一种帕尔姆。我要求我的羊肉是中等颜色的，应该是漂亮的粉红色，而不是血腥的。羊肉到达时煮得不均匀，其中两块中间是生的，显然没有休息，因为有血浸入我的土豆中。羊肉上也没有外皮，也没有酱汁或肉汁。我不得不把盘子拿到餐厅后面，以引起服务员的注意，要求将羊肉煮熟。然后当它回来时，蔬菜是冷的，仍然浸泡在血中。不过，羊肉和蔬菜的味道确实不错，所以调味很到位。我也喜欢蔬菜的烹饪方式。
我正在考虑甜点，但当我看到后面的甜点柜时，我感到非常失望。他们的柜子里有一盘甜点，例如提拉米苏，但服务员告诉我他们实际上只有两种甜点：草莓派和山核桃派。摆盘的甜点只是道具。我很震惊。这对我来说是一个巨大的危险信号。那时我感觉自己就像在博物馆里一样。
我们吃完饭就离开了。含 90 美元两份开胃菜、一份主菜、不含饮料或甜点的税费和小费。相当令人失望。老实说，我确实知道这家餐厅是如何仍然存在的。他们一定有固定的顾客，他们的家人几十年来一直来这里。价格合理的意大利美食 - Inc.甜点的选择不错——我推荐Cafe Amore 或Lina Linguini's。
