I would rate this "restaurant" as a zero if that was an option but unfortunately 1 is the lowest score available. The excessively long wait for a table and the almost complete darkness of the restaurant were irksome, yet the smell of the restaurant kept us happy and excited to eat. Our waiter was atrocious; he was incredibly inattentive, rude, forgetful, and just plain mean. There were no accommodations for families with young children. After realizing there was no children's menu, it was to our dismay that they wouldn't allow us to alter ANY of the foods on the menu. Having simple things such as salt or more water brought to the table always turned out to be a 15 minute ordeal. The food was not even 1/2 as good as we had thought it might be and the portions were all very odd. The bread was very bad, the pasta dishes were only decent, but the most frustration came to when we had the bill. They added an extra dish into the bill which we never ordered, and then when they brought back the "fixed" receipt, it included additions in the prices of two of the appetizers which they "mis-priced" the first time. All together the rude waiters, incredibly slow service, sub-par food, and bill complications, mixed with the dimmest lighting imaginable all concluded to a terrible dining experience. That is if eating in a hole in the wall with an intolerably disgusting bathroom located down a dirty outdoor could be called a "dining experience".
