Mamma Mia!  Okay - that is the only Italian thing I can say about this place.  So disappointed - food was mediocre at best.  Service was slow but when you don't have anything to bring out to the table, not much you can do about it.  It appeared that problem was with the kitchen not waitstaff.  Food was hot when it finally appeared but again, so lackluster - asked for extra garlic and still bland at best.  Waitress seemed taken back that we would order more than 1/2 carafe of wine (3 people) - she did a double take when we asked for another 1/2 carafe - very weird.  Only good thing about the entire experience was heading out the exit to Vin Master next door - what a find!  And I do mean find - I knew it was back there only because of fellow Yelpers - so thank you for that.  Our evening turned completely around at this establishment and he didn't seemed phased we wanted to drink wine!  Go figure!
