had dinner there with my 3 girl-friends.. the environment was very nice.. all those wine surrounding.. with TV everywhere showing some beautiful scenaries (should be italy's)..

the 3 of us ordered pops while one of our friends ordered the Long Island Ice-Tea.. & we decided to share some appetizers..

we had Mussels, which were steamed in the shell, red wine, tomato sauce, fresh basil.. & Shrimp Puttanesca, which were sauteed black tiger shrimp, fresh tomatoes, olives, capers, roasted garlic, fresh basil.. both were just so-so..

for main courses, i had the Portobello Agnolotti.. pasta stuffed with portobello mushrooms, Padano-garlic cream sauce, grilled portobello mushrooms.. it's a vegetarian dish with no meat in it..
my friend had the Sausage Agnolotti.. also stuffed pasta, but with Italian sausage, tomato cream sauce, Grana Padano, fresh basil..

we also had Shrimp Angel Hair.. that is, shrimp, fresh tomatoes, roasted garlic, white wine, fresh basil, olive oil, Grana Padano, angel hair pasta; & Spicy Seafood Chicken, that is grilled chicken breast, shrimp, scallops, peppers, spicy white wine cream sauce, orzo pasta, fresh vegetables..

sure we did order desserts & drinks..
Mascarpone Cheesecake, that is Mascarpone, Amaretto, hazelnut crust, mixed berry compote; & Tiramisu, described as Lady fingers, Kahlua, espresso, mascarpone, chocolate shavings, espresso cream..

i had the Mochaccino & a friend had the Peppermint Tea..

overall the pasta were quite salty.. according to my friend, the cheesecake was not as good as she had before..
& well, most importantly, the service was very bad..
after we finished the food, we wanna stayed there a bit longer to chat.. the waiter came by & dropped off the bill while we were having desserts; then he came back shortly after asking if he could take the bill away.. since we haven't paid yet, we said "not yet".. & asked if we could get some more water.. the waiter then said, "hmmmmmmmmmm.. sure.." why did he has to think about it??!!! shouldn't he suppose to give us water no matter what??!! he didn't come by refilling our drinks during the dinner as well.. not even water..

our conclusion is.. we are not going to visit again!!
