点评:Was supposed to go with some friends and they ended up canceling. When we called Michelina to cancel they said that the only way we wouldn't be charged (we booked with a credit card) is if we kept the table at least for 2 people.
Once we were forced by the place to go there we turned our dinner with friends plans into a quiet date night (or so we thought). I figured, since it's BYOB we can bring a nice bottle of wine and enjoy it with a good Italian meal. It turned out to be the exact opposite.
There's not much of decoration, except the name of the place occupying most of the main wall in big letters. The lighting was dimmed and made the place a bit too dark for my taste.
The place is extremely small (i have the feeling it used to be the garage of a townhouse) and the roof is very low so the noise is very much concentrated.
Crowd was very young so that also fueled the noisy environment.
Most of the place was taken by not one but TWO tables of more than 20 people each. Big groups celebrating birthdays. You can imagine the decibel levels, i couldn't even talk to my wife without screaming. Very uncomfortable.
Surprisingly (considering those 2 massive tables) the service was good, friendly and efficient. That's probably the only good thing i have to say about the place.
We started with the meatballs, which were just ok, a bit too tender and flavor was very flat.
My wife ordered the cheese stuffed Chicken Parm with a side of Spaghetti with vodka sauce. The chicken was ok, a bit too heavy. The side pasta was actually good.
I ordered their Daily Special Meat Lasagna. Nothing to write home about. If anything i found it boring and flat.
Desserts were the second/last good thing of the night... I ordered lemon sorbet served in a frozen lemon shell... very good! My wife got the Rainbow Cookie Cake, it was also very good.
When we got the check i was apalled by the price. Ended up paying almost $180 for a chicken cutlet with a side or pasta, a meat lasagna, a plate of meatballs and 2 desserts!!! I brought the wine myself! I guess i have to be grateful they don't charge corkage, although with those prices they make up for that "loss".
Anyway, definitely not going back there ever again.
翻译:本来是要和朋友一起去的,但他们最后取消了。当我们打电话给 Michelina 取消时,他们说我们不用付钱的唯一方法(我们用信用卡预订)是至少保留 2 人桌。
当我们被这个地方逼着去那里时,我们把与朋友共进晚餐的计划变成了一个安静的约会之夜(或者我们是这么认为的)。我想,既然是自带酒水,我们可以带一瓶好酒,和一顿美味的意大利餐一起享用。结果恰恰相反。
没有太多的装饰,除了这个地方的名字占据了大部分主墙的大写字母。灯光很暗,对我来说有点太暗了。
这个地方非常小(我感觉它曾经是联排别墅的车库),屋顶很低,所以噪音非常集中。
人群非常年轻,这也加剧了嘈杂的环境。
大部分地方都被两张桌子占据了,每张桌子都有 20 多人。庆祝生日的大团体。你可以想象噪音的分贝水平,我甚至没法不尖叫就跟妻子说话。非常不舒服。
令人惊讶的是(考虑到那两张大桌子),服务很好,友好而高效。这可能是我对这个地方唯一的好评。
我们先吃了肉丸,味道一般,有点太嫩了,味道很平淡。
我妻子点了奶酪馅鸡肉帕尔马干酪和一份加伏特加酱的意大利面。鸡肉还可以,有点太重了。配菜意大利面其实很好吃。
我点了他们的每日特制肉千层面。没什么好写的。如果非要说的话,我觉得它很无聊,很平淡。
甜点是当晚的第二道/最后一道好东西……我点了装在冷冻柠檬壳里的柠檬冰糕……非常好吃!我妻子点了彩虹饼干蛋糕,也非常好吃。
当我们拿到账单时,我对价格感到震惊。最后花了将近 180 美元,点了一份鸡排配菜或意大利面、一份肉千层面、一盘肉丸和两份甜点!!!我自己带了酒!我想我应该感谢他们不收开瓶费,虽然这些价格弥补了那笔“损失”。
无论如何,绝对不会再去那里了。
