Roberto Passon, 741 9th Ave, New York NY - May 28

Rating - 7.0

We were walking down 9th and saw this neat little place with floor to ceiling windows, not knowing anything about the place we walked in and sat down. It took the waiter a very long time to come take a drink order (waiter 9), and his service got WORSE as the night went along.

When he gave us the menus he said there were no specials, it was the first night of a new menu so everything was a special.

Bread served before dinner was horrible, way too over cooked.

App was excellent (carpaccio) and the entrees were all just ok, with the exception of the Rigatoni with spicy sauce that was fantastic.

Wine was good, but again the service was BRUTAL. I would go back for the Rigatoni, wish it was my dinner.

1 Carpaccio Manzo 12.00
2 Pollo Montasio 34.00 (mine - really thin chicken with cheese on top, decent sauce, and bland mashed potatos)
1 Tortelli Riccota 16.00 (just ok)
1 Rigatoni Bologne 14.00 (the STAR of the night)
1 Chianti Colli 36.00
1 Chian Bucciareli

Total - $ 164.74 for four
