Molto Vino

"Wife's teachers gave her $100 gift card this past year, so we figured we'd give this place a try. To start, no A/C, only one other couple in here, so they put us by a window. OK, we'll deal with it. Several other groups/couples walk in and walk out because of no A/C. Waiter convinces us of a wine and a mixed drink which both were good. We tell him we wish to split a Caesar salad and we'll both get the chicken francaise. We go through our drinks, and never get the salad. Waiter asks if I want another drink, and I say no. Little later they bring the chicken out. We tell them to forget about the salad. This chicken was actually good, as was my pasta and as was my wife's arugula. Storms coming in, so we ask for check. My wife presents the gift card. Waiter comes back and says the owner says he cannot accept it because their guy never signed it when my wife's teacher bought it. She says she can send my wife a copy of her bank statement to show she paid the $100. Waiter says owner says she'd have to come in. She does not live local. So...because the owner thinks my wife stole the gift card, or thinks her teacher stole the gift card (if it were stolen, why would we write $100...and not $200, or some other amount?)... or...because they're losing money on account of people walking out, we were forced to pay for our meal. Thus, no tip, let the owner explain to his workers, we paid the bill and walked out. We will not be going back. Neither will my wife's teachers, who...unless she physically appears to show the owner her bank statement...got robbed by this place. Molto Pizza failed, and this place, even with two other staple restaurants in town temporarily closed, will be soon to follow. They could have taken advantage of these temporary closures and reeled people in there, but based on how we...and apparently other reviewers have been treated by this owner...he is happy to blow this opportunity. Good riddance."

"I am so surprised this place stays open. Rude waiter (manager/owner?). He complained to us about owning a restaurant which was odd. We ordered 2 dirty martinis and a caprese salad. He brings the salad. Mozzarella & the palest hardest tomatoes with stems still in them (basically a potato). How can they serve this!? No drinks. He forgot. When he finally brings them they are literally the worst martinis ever. Pinkish in color (???) warm and had little black things floating in them. I would have loved to stay, order wine and more food…but we left without finishing any of it. When we asked for the check he threw it on the table as he passed. Amazing this place stays open. We have been a few times & it was always mediocre but this was the worst. Never again."

"For a place with so much potential, good food and drinks and nice atmosphere, they mess it all up with their service, getting orders wrong, and long wait times. This is the 2nd time this happened. We started with a cheese board and drinks, minus my pregnant friend which she mentioned. The cheese board took 30 min to come out with barely anyone in the place. Then each ordered something, 2 of which came out and my prego friend’s dish never did until we said something. The server came back with a different story every time and when the pizza finally arrived it was incorrect. They then offered her a free drink (um she’s pregnant can’t drink). This food should have been comped and they should’ve immediately made her a new one. We had to share our dinner so she didn’t starve. Very disappointing because I liked this place. I will say that we did get a 15% discount which was something as the server tried to make it right at the end."

"I think this place is super underrated!! Been here a few times, I love how the pasta portions are reasonably sized and absolutely divine!!! Pizza could be a little crispier, but overall flavors are out of control. 10/10 also the staff is really awesome. WAIT I JUST POSTED THIS.. DESPITE THIS.. a dirty martini costing $20 is actually out of control. That’s not cool. Doesn’t change too much though everything was great. But $20 for a martini kinda nuts. Mixed feels."
