"My daughter and I decided on looking at a map of the area and the first restaurant she pointed to, we would try out. This made for a rememberable dining experience and not in a good way. First, we entered the establishment prior to lunch and the hostess/waitress' back was towards us while she was at the bar talking to another employee so she might not have heard us come in, but the other employee saw us and made no mention to her that we are standing at the front desk/entrance. After about 3 minutes she turns around and was surprised to see us there (First red flag). We chose the outdoor patio after being seated and offered beverages. My daughter asked the waitress about the difference in some of the dishes she was interested in and the waitress seemed as if this was too much (Second red flag) of a hassle so my daughter ordered a simple Ceasar salad and I ordered Wild Mushroom and Walnut Tortellini with a glass of Chianti. The Ceasar salad was wilted with way too much dressing on top and not worth the $10.49 price and my order of tortellini pasta was way past al dente with the ends flopping around in the sauce. It was palatable at best. (Third red flag) The air around the patio area smelled of off gas(old food that has been stuck in a pipe for months). If you look at their logo the words Italian, Market and Café are separated. I think the products they sale or display fits into the category of Italian Market, but I have tasted way better food on the side streets of a Roman café near tourist traps."
