点评:Went to dinner midweek, Wednesday evening. We had reservations for 3 for 8:00 and were seated without any wait.
We were surprised on how busy the restaurant was at that time of evening and day of the week. Typical Italian restaurant as far as atmosphere and music. It was cozy warm inside which was welcoming since it was so cold outside.
We were greeted by Jarrod B. our server who was friendly and told us the specials. It’s a BYOB which we didn’t realize but we didn’t have problems with that. After allowing us some time to look the menu over and for him to catch up with his other tables, he came back to take our orders.
A soup special was ordered which was cream of clam chowder. Gregory’s description was light on the cream and heavy on the clams. Soup was very enjoyable and had lots of clams.
The entrees are where stars were lost.
The dishes that were ordered were eggplant rollatini with rigatoni, chicken parm with capellini with vodka sauce and a salmon dish on the menu with capellini- salmon ordered medium rare. All dishes came out with capellini, no vodka sauce and salmon overcooked.
We made Gregory aware and he offered to bring vodka sauce out for the chicken parmigiana, take the eggplant back to replace the pasta & nothing with the salmon. I explained if he took plates back then we wouldn’t be eating together.
The eggplant was fair at best. It was slides thin which I do like but the cheese was overwhelming and took away from the eggplant. Most places overcook salmon so not totally disappointing but don’t ask if not going to cook as directed. The extra sauce was great to take home because pasta was very dry.
Jarrod B. did give us two cannoli for compensation which we took home.
We will not go out of our way for Italian food at Taste of Italy in Hellertown, it was just disappointing that all 3 meals did not come out as requested.
翻译:周三晚上去吃晚餐。我们预订了 8:00 的 3 人餐,无需等待即可入座。
我们很惊讶餐厅在那个时间以及一周中的那个日子如此繁忙。就氛围和音乐而言,这是典型的意大利餐厅。餐厅内部温暖舒适,因为外面太冷,所以很受欢迎。
服务员 Jarrod B. 热情地迎接了我们,并告诉我们特色菜。我们没有意识到这是 BYOB,但我们对此并不介意。他让我们有时间查看菜单,并让他赶上其他桌子,然后他回来为我们点菜。
我们点了一份特色汤,是奶油蛤蜊浓汤。Gregory 的描述是奶油少,蛤蜊多。汤非常好吃,蛤蜊很多。
主菜是明星们的败笔。
我们点的菜是茄子卷配通心粉、鸡肉帕尔马配天使面配伏特加酱,以及菜单上的一道三文鱼配天使面——三文鱼点的是五分熟。所有的菜都配天使面,没有伏特加酱,三文鱼煮得太熟了。
我们告诉了格雷戈里,他提出把伏特加酱拿来配鸡肉帕尔马干酪,把茄子拿回去代替意大利面,三文鱼什么也不配。我解释说,如果他拿回盘子,那我们就不能一起吃饭了。
茄子最多只能算是一般。它薄得像薄片一样,我很喜欢,但奶酪太多了,把茄子都吃光了。大多数地方的三文鱼都煮得太熟了,所以不是完全令人失望,但如果不按照指示烹饪,就不要问了。额外的酱汁很适合带回家,因为意大利面很干。
贾罗德·B. 确实给了我们两个奶油甜馅煎饼卷作为补偿,我们带回家了。
我们不会特意去赫勒敦的 Taste of Italy 餐厅吃意大利菜,只是三顿饭都没有按照我们要求的那样上桌,这让我们很失望。
