I am sorry to say but this restaurant was a disappointment. Mostly because of the service. I went here because there were lots of good reviews and it was in walking distance from my hotel.
I arrived around 5 PM with no reservation. I was greeted promptly and as the restaurant was half empty, I was seated immediately. And then, my waiter showed up... totally condescending attitude bordering openly rude. Despite the fact that most of the time he was prancing about with nothing to do, except making a point of talking to each and everyone one of the waitresses passing him, he took his sweet time visiting tables. Not only mine, it turned out that his attitude wasn't directed to me personally. His surprising attitude actually made me curious, and as he gave me plenty of time to wait between his visits, I just watched him for a while. He was acting like a superior being gracing us, low-lives, with his exceptional presence. Initially, very briefly I thought it was something personal, maybe he just didn't like me for whatever reason, but then I noticed his interaction at other tables. It wasn't me...
Anyway, the food... I ordered a 3-item charcuterie board and a clam pizza. The charcuterie board was very good.Very nice balance between the cheese and meats and it also came with two little sweet and savory sides, which were excellent. However, the clam pizza feel very short of expectations. It is a rather large pizza, and although the actual pizza that had olive oil and parmigiano reggiano was tasty, the clam part was barely noticeable. There were less then 8 small clams on that whole pizza. There were actually three slices with no clams at all. The few clams that were there were just... boring, no taste really.
I don't know, maybe it was just bad timing or a combination of things that made my visit to this restaurant very unsatisfactory. Fact is that I will be inclined to stay away from this place in the future.
