Disappointed in Little Italy



I took my date out to Sodini's for a type of better than average Italian night out. You know the dreamy Italian touch of class, on a romantic full moon lit night. It should have been perfect... it should have been Italian... but it wasn’t what was expected!
The food here was tolerable and cheaper than expected yet still nothing special. Better at the Flats Buenos Aires The strange waitress merits a one-star-review. She either has no clue about waiting tables or just not give a fuck. She demonstrated having absolutely no concept of how to wait tables professionally.

When she brought my date a glass of wine, she snuck around behind her as a surprise- delivery, reaching over her shoulder and startling her, this caused the waitress to jump and spill wine over my date.... not impressed! You simply don’t serve over the top of someone...

While we waited for our food, she approached our table with a flashlight, saying that someone lost a camera and wanted to check under our table. She got down on her hands and knees and crawled under our table with her flashlight as we sat there shocked. Sure it was funny but seriously was it necessary during our dinner time. Surely there were other ways of going about finding a lost Vietnam Travel... She didn't even ask us to look, just bumbled up with the flashlight and apologized profusely as she crawled on her knees.

Before our meal arrived, my date and I decided to help her Home interior decor, anticipating the trouble that could ensue if she arrived with our pizza and had nowhere to drop it. But unfortunately, our clearing was not enough... when she arrived with the pizza, she literally tossed the olive oil dish across the table onto my bread plate (oh sure, I guess I wasn't going to use it again) and plopped the pizza down on its stand, even though there was plenty of room for the dish to remain where it was.

After that, our waitress wandered around in front of the restaurant, talking on her cell phone directly outside of our window. We figured we could just tap on the glass if we needed something.

Yes, it was hilarious and entertaining, but it did get in the way of a romantic evening. This strange person definitely made an impression on the night and killed whatever romance we were looking for in the occasion.

If Sodini's was a cheap pizza stand instead of a moderately priced restaurant, I would have expected service like this. But for what it is, the service was flagrantly erroneous.
