    We ordered calamari as an appetizer but never received it even after reminding the waiter. My husband ordered a veal dish that he had to send back since it was too tough to chew. He asked for a bowl of pasta instead. The owner came out and said he would make this right and take care of us. Didn’t get charged for the veal but paid $19 for a bowl of pasta. We got a free dessert (very small). Would not go back.
