Red Room Cafe

Italian restaurant that smells like a dirty towel? Yup. Throw a saute pan with oil and garlic and make this place smell like a restaurant should.

Pizza ovens? no pizza on the menu.
could be a super cute place.
calling gordon ramsey!

Hmmm I would love to give this a better rating but the service was just plain awful. As soon as we walked in we heard a table complaining about their food and their meal was getting comped. Nice atmosphere other than the unhappy customers. BYOB is a bonus. Our server was very rude and gave the impression that she hated her job and that she definitely did not have the time for us. Calamari appetizer was good but nothing worth praising. The prices are a bit high for the small portions. My gnocchi was delicious. Everyone else's dishes were just "ok". Our food took about an hour and a half. There was only one server for the entire restaurant and probably one person in the kitchen too. I would maybe try this again but the awful customer service really left a bad taste in my mouth.

Disgrace.

This was my 2nd time here. I did not love it the 1st time but my mom had a <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestuarant.com&s=3831e1ed460ef5e68efe27d1f881ff319a8fa74e1953813dcbadbe7ab43753f6" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restuarant.com</a> certificate so I figured I'd give it another shot.

When we arrived at the restaurant at about 6pm on a rainy Tuesday, there was only 1 other table of people.  

We ordered calamari, cavetelli pasta with broccoli rabe and 2 personal pizza (margarita and prosciutto/arugula).  The waitress asked if we wanted the pasta and calamari as apps. We said yes.

50 minutes later...we finally had our apps. The cavatelli pasta was beyond al dente. It was hard. You could tell just by putting your fork in it! The broccoli rabe was the most bitter I have ever tasted.

I thought the calamari was pretty good but my mom felt it was just average.

As our waitress would pass by our table, she kept reassuring us that our pizza was on its way.

We were there for over an hour before the pizza came out and that was only after we asked where it was and to just put it in to-go boxes.

Because we had a <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurant.com&s=c5fe485af4df376130bee54f875814d79c4d7913e1258123b1206d2bdbf4873b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurant.com</a> certificate we expected to be automatically charged 18% gratuity like it stated on the certificate. When the waitress (who was the only good part of our experience) brought out the check we were automatically charged 20% gratuity. We didnt say anything about this bc this is what we would have given anyway bc it wasnt the waitress's fault the food took forever and wasnt good. But I was still taken aback that they did 20% instead of 18%.

This restaurant is CASH only. We needed 3 dollars change. The waitress had to go next door to the liquor store to get our change. The whole experience was just ridiculous... I definitely do not recommend this place. The service, the food, the prices are just not worth it!
