"The music with dinner was fantastic! The decor is very nice, the setting was quite lovely, except the ceiling tiles; a little dingy looking (ceiling tiles need to be replaced immediately , but nicely themed; painted, etc... Our waitress was melancholy, stressed and seemingly overworked with all the tables she had at once. At times, we ran out of ice tea, and waited a while for appetizers and food, but the service was not terrible (I tipped 20% . The appetizers (brussels sprouts wwere very good. However, the rest of dinner was terrible at best. Our party of three tried the bread, cheese pizza, and lasagna and they were all terrible (flavor . The sauce on the lasagna tasted like a mixture of Ragu spaghetti sauce and carryout ketchup! The pizza was soggy, and the bread was hard as a rock, with no flavor at all (the second batch brought out was a little warmer and softer but still tasteless. Not what you expect from a italian restaurant . My wifes work colleague made us lasagna the other day that was far better in every aspect (taste, viscosity, warmth, presentation, spices, preparation, etc... HOWEVER... The live music (The Carl Grubbs Quartet was simply amazing! Germano's Piattini supports live music from different local bands to play while having dinner. Because of this, even though the food was not good at all (except the brussel sprouts (me , and the cheesecake according to my wife I will happily eat their again (music nights only . They must make some dishes that are good, right? I will exhaust them all for good obvionce, and live jazz music, which this place has!"
