Tomatina

Im not sure Im being fair but base my review strictly on their meatball appetizer $12.50? It was just very average meatball. Ive had much better meatball & sauce elsewhere, thats why Im only giving 2 star. The thing was waiter was busy & really not much service. I understand that he was only one waiter for whole restaurant but he only had about 7 tables ( not too busy). What probably was tough for waiter was that the food had not come for many of the tables so the server had to wait for food to come out for other tables before serving or taking our order. We never got thing like pepper on table. That was my fault, I never ask for pepper. A good restaurant should at least have pepper on table in case the meatballs are not very good. There was a self serve station ( with napkins) so i should have checked there to see if there was black pepper. My Dad wanted some type of White Sauce. They did have alfredo with Chicken. You can substitute shrimp but then they change the sauce to tomato. Dad wanted White sauce so not sure why the waiter told us that if he change to Shrimp, he has to have tomato ( on the menu it says you can have chicken alfredo, Substitute Shrimp for 4 dollars so not sure why waiter did not see that ( then Dad would have had his Alfredo with Shrimp. Anyhow, i was thinking i can cook that at home if that was all he wanted. To give the restaurant credit, they did have lunch special ( which no one told us) but insert in menu. But the lunch special you can choose sandwich. I wish they use English, I believe the sandwich name is Piadine ( flatbread) or if you choose pizza. So if you want pizza & salad you can have both for 13.50 or 13.95. It is my fault for wanting low gluten ( I try to eat less bread) but Dad wanted Italian today. Its just he never got his cream or white sauce. Im not sure why he tipped the waiter 18 or 19 percent, as on the receipt you have option of tip of less than 10 percent. I was confuse because they meant additional tip. My dad tip way more than that, he tip 18 percent. I dont know why he does that when he did not get the food he wanted, & my meatball & marinana not that great. I suppose i should have tried the other dishes. The waiter did make a comment ( when I ask for Dad) I ask for next time about the lunch specials & waiter admited that the quantity for lunch special is kid sized. Combination of my meatballs not being good ( & no pepper on table), it made me miss Dominos as even tho Dominos has too much bread, at least the sausage is good there.

Not only is the food here fantastic, there are many Gluten-free choices that are delicious. It's hard to find that. Most places may offer a couple of GF dishes, but not here. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone!
