I had dinner at Bertolucci's on Tuesday, January 29 and was somewhat dissapointes. The people on your show seemed to really like it. I had the veal and found that the sauce was somewhat bland and the servings were not as big as I thught they would be. The polenta was outstanding and the conoli for desert was not good at all. The service was fair, we ordered calimari as a started and it never arrived. When our dinners arrived the waitress said it was 'up' but she forgot it.
Well, so much for Bertolucci's, I think there are much better Italian places.
My husband brought a client to dine there this week. They both loved their meal. I got to eat the leftovers that were brought home and loved the tender veal. The polenta was to die for and probably a ton of calories but well worth it. I also ate the leftover calamari which usually isn't very good as a leftover…tender and the tarter sauce was very tasty. Can't wait to go here myself! Ciao
MY FAMILY HAS GONE TO THIS RESTAURANT MANY TIMES, AND LATELY FOUND NOT NEARLY AS GOOD. WE WENT THERE ON THE 4TH OF JULY AND THE FOOD WAS VERY SO SO. THE POLENTA WAS INSTANT AND NOT A GOOD TASTE, VEGTEBALES OVERCOOKED, SOUP TASTED VERY OLD AND VEGETABLES VERY WELL DONE. THE LATTE'S VERY NOT GOOD, THE MILK HAD AN ODD TASTE TO IT. BREAD ICE COLD, NOT WARMED UP AT ALL AND
THE RESTAURANT WAS VERY, VERY SLOW. WE ORDERED PELIGRANO WATER AND THE WATRESS DID NOT POOR THE WATER IN THE GLASSES, JUST PUT THE BOTTLE ON THE TABLE. ALL AND ALL THE FOOD NOT NEARLY AS GOOD AND THE SERVICE VERY POOR. SUE WINSLOW
