Sorella Ristorante Italiano
"I had the best evening at Sorella's with my oldest girlfriend and bestest friend. At first we had a small wait to get a table but the teeny bar was a nice place to start off airing the vino for the meal. We were seated at a cute booth with a candle, which prompted me to turn and say to her that this was definitely our Galentine's dinner. The waitress Madison was prompt, well versed and absolutely pivotal or our enjoyment. She was so attentive and full of suggestions to keep the night flowing. It was a Saturday night and at first there was no music but then when there was -but it seemed like the soundtrack repeated after only a handful of songs. That was fine though as we did not really run out of things to talk or laugh about. We had amazing steaks, sides were "mid" but the desserts were so fun! We went with combining the Carmel Cheesecake with Bananas Foster."
Spumoni Italian Cafe & Pizzeria
"I gave this restaurant another try after staying away for over two years. And, I might not be returning ever again. the reason I left the first time (after frequenting it for many years) was due to the poor quality of the food and lack of good service. My wife and I had seen everything start to deteriorate after new management had taken over. Last night's visit began without a smile or nice welcome from the hostess. It digressed quickly when our waiter failed to ask us if we wanted bread, which has always been wonderful and did live up to last night. So, after attempting to get his attention, which failed, we finally were able to ask for it after we were done with our salad. He evidently decided the couple next to us, who had already finished their main course and were choosing a dessert when we were seated, were more important than us. Also, we were never asked if we wanted any olive oil. That's one of my requests at any Italian Restaurant, whether here in the U.S, in Europe, or in Italy. I must say that our salad (the Mediterranea) and our entree (Capellini Alla Checca) were savory and very delicious. I thought, "Yeah, they are back to their great food, once again." However, our waiter never came over to check on us, which is a "No, No! " with any service. Yet, he continued to converse with the couple who had finished their dessert and coffee. Many moons ago, I was a waiter in a highly-acclaimed French Restaurant in Beverly Hills. Therefore, I believe I do know good service when I see it.Goodbye Spumoni Restaurant. You don't need our business. We will go to our now "favorite" Italian Restaurant in the Santa Clarita Valley, which does have wonderful service and great dishes."
