Il Verdi

This restaurant has really outstanding food. We had Calamari as an appetizer. It was one of the best I ever tasted. For this meal we all had pasta dishes and one was better than the next. We stayed away from the meats and fishes as they were a bit pricey, and honestly, we really came for traditional italian food. If I was looking for steaks or fish I probably would not have come here. My main concern is the service and management. On the food alone I would have given them a perfect score. Our server was very polite, but when it came to taking care of us, it took way too long to get drinks and beverages. Also, there was no follow up after the initial order, until we had to track down our server for some refills. Not the end of the world because as I said, he was very polite. Where this place really lost a star with me is that we had reservations. When we arrived we were about 15 minutes early, we were rudely told that there was no way we would be getting seated until our time. We understood the time, and were only letting them know we were there. Their attitude was not real nice. We decided to have a drink at the bar and my wife got a glass of wine at the bargain of $17 per glass for low tier Pinot Grigio. About 20 minutes past and we were now 10 minutes past are reservation time. A Manager showed up and told us that it would be at least another 20-30 minutes before they could honor our reservation. I get that things happen and not everything is in their control but they did not so much as offer anything as an accommodation to remedy the issue. Bottom line, great good, nice atmosphere, but they are a little full of themselves and need to do a better job keeping that away from the customer.
