content: Why I hated this restaurant.  I' m allowed one rant a year and this will be mine.  This is the most uppity, insincere restaurant experience you're likely to have.  Yes the atmosphere is over the top faux Italian and the waiters all wear expensive looking tuxedos but leave the attitude at your next failed acting audition.  Our set of waiters were so arrogant, smug and lacking in warmth.  An Italian night out should be about warmth, appreciation of the customer and genuine food.\n\nOur main waiter made us feel cheap or lacking in taste every time a person didn't want an appetizer or wanted to split a dessert or was going to pass on that $40 glass of grappa.  Here's an excellent example.  I asked for the second cheapest bottle of wine on the menu--Chianti Classico for $80 a bottle.  Yeah it offends me that I can buy the same bottle for $12.  The waiter said, \""You'll really prefer the Riserva.\""  \""oh, how much is that?\""  \""It's $300\"".   Well, thanks for the offer of letting me pay $300 for a $25/bottle of wine but I'll just plug my nose and drink that over-priced $80 bottle of banal Chianti.\n\nOk, the food is good--no question about it--but not outstanding.  I thought the cotoletta milanese was good and my wife enjoyed her simple papparadelle a pomodoro.  They made a grand production of the Limoncello and that was both fun and tasty.  Here's my humble conclusion.  Unless you are prepared to spend $200/person, expect to be treated like you're Jed Clampett on the Beverly Hills Hillbillies--coming from a waiter who probably earns 20% of what you do.  It simply wasn't a fun, edifying evening out.  Che peccato that we didn't go back to Parma which I gave 5 stars.\n\n3 adults and 3 kids, one bottle of cheap wine, 2 appetizers, no dessert, 3 glasses of limoncello = $640
