"However, this time around, I’m not sure what happened. Has there been a change in management or ownership? Did the chef leave? Has the recipe been altered? Whatever the reason, the seafood risotto I had this time is not the same as the one from six months ago. I’m baffled by the shift from a delicious, well-seasoned broth full of seafood aroma to one that barely registers in flavor.
I was puzzled by why the ratings had dropped since my partner pointed it out recently, but now I see why. As an Italian food lover, this breaks my heart. This isn't a farewell; it's just a temporary pause. I long for the risottos from early to mid-2021, not the disappointing version from 2022.
To add to my frustration, I found myself needing to edit this review the very same night. As I continued my meal (which I only managed to get through about 40% of), I detected the smell and taste of old clams. After eating a few, hoping I was imagining it, I started to gag upon realizing they were not fresh.
I think we all deserve some answers about this decline in quality. I certainly need answers. This risotto just didn’t meet the mark, and now I’m left hoping I won’t be spending the night by the toilet if my body rejects the seafood."
