To be fair, we went on Valentine’s Day, so some chaos was expected. Waiting 30 minutes for a reserved table wasn’t too bad, especially since others waited longer. The food was okay—nothing impressive, but decent. One annoying thing was that they ran out of meatballs and brought us arancini without checking first. We would’ve liked the option to choose something else. Funny enough, about 20 minutes later, a couple who arrived after us got meatballs—maybe they just needed more time to make them. Also, they mistakenly charged us for meatballs instead of arancini, which I didn’t catch. It was only a $1 difference and it’s totally on me (I should check before I leave,) but still, always double-check your bill, especially if they switch an item for you.
