L'Antipasto Nuovo

I ate here years ago with a local who clearly knew the owner. I dreamt of the meal, and espoused the wonders to my family. I was SO excited to take them there this year. It was a bummer.

The menu is limited, yes. It's also in Italian, or the most heavily Italian-accented German of all time, so even those who speak German are at a loss. The truffle pasta was, in the end, only a bowl of spaghetti with chips of truffle on top. No lovely broth, no depth, no veggies, no cheese. A $1 worth of pasta and some bark chips. That's it. The other dishes similarly failed to amaze.

Worse, the co-owner seemed to have returned from Italy recently. He was, what can only be described as loaded, hitting on female patrons, slurring, and being way too loud. It was embarassing.

I leave an extra star for the memory of meals past. This meal deserved 0.
