For some reason I don't see my review from 2 nights ago, 9/4/24. So, I am going to re-state the sentiments I have for this place.
-In short, THE FOOD was an EPIC FAIL!!!
As it was already late in the evening & craving pasta, our favorite Italian restos nearby were closed for delivery. First time to order here & did so with DoorDash. The Dasher delivered it fast (thank you), & the order came still nice and warm...but that was the only good thing about this order. Besides the portions being very small, all the dishes were super-duper, very, very salty (they were inedible)! ALL OF THEM! We ordered 4 dishes: Guazzetto Di Mare ($19.95), Carbonara ($24.95), Vegan Cauliflower Linguini ($23.95), Strozzapreti ($27.95).
I expected the clams in the Guazzetto to have natural sweetness & saltiness to them, but this dish had more than seawater saltiness so you know there was too much salt added there. First taste of the broth by sopping the 2 small pieces of grilled bread that came with the dish, & was downhill from there. Even the clams were too salty! All the other dishes were the same, so there was no excuse that this was a one-off.
I called the restaurant within 20 mins of food arrival, & spoke with the manager, Rosario. He explained the natural saltiness of the clams and the cheeses, which I understand, as we've had these dishes at other restaurants- no problems. But these were obviously OVERSALTED by the kitchen. He offered to remake the dishes for me, but only if I had to pick them up...but we can't & thus, the reason we had our dinner delivered. I explained that the reason for my call anyway was to inform them, not expecting freebies. But in the end, it was time & money wasted, literally leaving a bad taste in your mouth. We retreated back to our kitchen, with no more time to make dinner for ourselves, & resorted to cookies in the cupboard.
Their kitchen staff needs to taste the pasta water to start, & taste the food before they are served/boxed to customers.
