"This is not a “dieci” (10) but a due” (2). (1) Made reservations online (through their website) but when arriving at the restorante was informed by receptionist that my name was not on the reservation list. Was told : We seldom check our online presence, sir . Hmmm...Luckily, we were able to be seated at a table anyhow. (2) Food was reasonable but not upscale Italian. Nothing to write home about. Our table was not serviced with bread and the standard olive oil tray whereas all others were. No water was offered. And now the kicker... (3) We ordered an appetizer for both of us and one entree to split. Waitress swiftly told us there would be an extra service charge of 4$ to bring a second plate. She must have seen our utterly surprise for hearing this since the manager came over immediately to explain. Be aware that this extra charge is standard in the restaurant industry he sternly affirmed. Here is where the shoe pinches: An extra service charge for a split menu item is often applied by UPSCALE restaurants where the chef prepares both plates so they look alike when served. Nothing qualifies this establishment as such. People were dining dressed in shorts, t-shirts, flip-flops and even wearing base-ball caps..and it would cost me $4 to have an extra plate on the table here?!? Although the interior of the resto is quite nice and the live music is pleasant, Diecis will not be an arrividerci for us."
