The gentleman serving us -- a member of the family who owns Fellini -- was solicitous. While our meals were good, there are things I realized after the fact that bother me: -- Before ordering a Caesar salad, we asked if it's made with anchovies. The salad is listed at $9.50. We asked to split one order, which came to the table divided. I noticed, after my husband paid, that we were charged $13. An undisclosed $3.50 for anchovies that should have been included in the first place?! I think not. -- Chicken Rollatini -- This was T's favorite dish in our former neighborhood restaurant. As a point of comparison, Fellini's was okay, but it was over-sauced with a thin gravy. Plus, at $26.95 an overload of spaghetti didn't make up for one small roll of chicken. -- Chicken Francese -- Fellini's has a different spin than the lemon butter I'm used to. The menu claims asparagus and mozzarella. While I was eating, I thought 'this is good, but not as described.' And this is what happens when waiters don't write down orders. They gave me saltimboca. Fellini's is byob with no corkage fee. A sign outside offers a free glass of wine. Perhaps, because we didn't request the freebie, our host brought us amoretto on the house. A nice gesture.FYI, expect a 4% upcharge if you pay with a credit card.
