The Ordering:
The Chinese lady (on her name card shows 女主人) and her husband is a Caucasian which i assume is the 男主人。 How wierd it is to call yourself 主人? Anyway... As soon as our group sits down the 女主人 just kept talking and talking and talking and talking and talking.... I understand that she wants to be social and entertaining, but I am there for my friend and not her... So a more discreet interaction would be MUCH appreciated!
So, the ordering was quite intimidating as she just kept throwing out Italian words at us and expect us to understand what they are. At one point i asked about what one of the meant and she just stared at me bewildered over why i didn't know what she meant. Oh well, what does she have to gain for looking me down?! So we went on with her suggestions over the many "homemade" choices she suggested...
Food Quality:
Well the term homemade does carry different meaning and certainly different expectation. For homemade, I expect stuff that are so good that you don't often get to try from other Italian restaurant. However, with the food that they served, they are taste very bland, rather non exciting... Well, they don't taste bad, but the price that they are charging is not cheap either!
Price:
Way overpriced. Portion size is small for all dish, taste just average and were were all not full but wouldn't dare ordering more dishes as we really had enough with the lady. Also i regret ordering desserts, they feel like Garden cupe cake and pour syrup over them, so don't waste money there.
Conclusion:
What a pity that such a cozy place can turn out to be so bad. I honestly think that the kill is the service, the old man waiter is like a robot, very intrusive, and the lady owner just would not shut up. Won't go back of course.
