🤢 2/5 - Decided to splurge and celebrate a birthday here.

For a fine dining experience, where apparently many celebrities like to go, this place was so very disappointing! They must either serve the "rich and famous" something completely different or the "rich and famous" have no concept of what excellent food is. Our server was fantastic; however, you could tell they were very short staffed as he and the busboy were very hurried. When our server came to our table, he was very friendly and wonderful. Too bad he did not come by that often. He did mention that they were short staffed and that the kitchen was very busy. A few times the busboy would almost throw our cutlery down on the table when resetting for the next course. He was also not consistent in setting down the cutlery. Knives facing different directions for each person or spoons on different sides of the knife or fork. Normally I would not care that much but when I go to a fine dining restaurant, I expect to receive a fine dining experience. The main reason for coming here was to have exceptional Italian food. The food itself was mostly good but it wasn't mind blowing in anyway and did not inspire us to to come back. Especially not for the prices this place was charging. Here's what we had: * Frittura Mista Di Pesce- Buttermilk-battered and deep fried shrimp and calamari with tartare sauce - the oil was clean and everything was fresh. It's deep fried calamari and shrimp, nothing overly complicated. * Polpo Alla Puttanesca - Grilled octopus served with cherry tomatoes from Pachino, black olives, anchovies and capers from Pantelleria - the octopus was grilled well and not over done. The tomatoes were nice and fresh. It was good but not the best I've had. * Carpaccio Di Filetto Di Manzo Con Tartufo Nero Di Norcia E Stracciatella Di Burrata - Tomatoes with fresh black truffle from Norcia and burrata Stracciatella cheese - one of the most disappointing dishes! The Burrata was served to us too cold and the creamy centre wasn't creamy at all. Made me wonder if we even got Burrata or if we got Mozzarella. There is a difference! * Fettuccine Alla Bolognese Di Mamma Laura - "Little Ribbon" fettucine with Mamma's famous fresh homemade meat sauce - simple dish of pasta noodles with meat sauce. It was quite bland. I think the kitchen forgot the salt. * La Carbonara - Artisanal Zaccagni spaghetti tossed with crispy pork cheek from Amatrice, eggs, Sarawak black pepper and Roman *DOP Pecorino cheese - the sauce on this dish was well seasoned and quite delicious! However, the spaghetti was undercooked. It wasn't al dente, it was undercooked. When we finally had a chance to tell the server, he explained how the pasta chef is "Roman" and how the Romans feel this is how pasta should be cooked. He even mentioned that he's had many debates about this with the chef in the past. Basically we were served undercooked pasta on purpose. He suggested that next time we should let them know that we want our pasta al dente, the Italian way. Seriously? If you know this is what your kitchen is going to do, then you should inform your customers at the time of ordering. * Bistecca Alla Brace - Grilled Prime Canadian striploin with mushrooms au jus - nice huge juicy steak with a good amount of sides but nothing super special. * Costoletta Di Vitello - Grilled white provimi veal chop - tender and juicy; however, another dish served under season. Since our table was sharing everything, the kitchen cut the veal for us. * Cheesecake with fresh fruit compote, strawberry Tiramisu, Classic Italian Tiramisu, Ricotta Cheesecake with Pears and Almond Crust - the highlight of the dinner! All the desserts were delicious and presented beautifully on one large plate. Our favourite was the Ricotta Cheesecake with Pears and Almond Crust. All in all, the food was good but did not meet expectations. Since the kitchen was so slow and we were getting really hungry, we only told our server about the food experience we had after eating. There are so many other wonderful places you can go to great Italian food and a fine dining experience. This was not one of them. If you have money to burn and are into chance celebrity sightings (which we did not care about), go ahead and come here. If you want consistent, impeccable service and food that would make you want to come back the next day, go somewhere else.
