3 /5 Clau: Cute Spot, But Service and Food Fell Short
Walked in and my first impression was that the place is small but cozy, very pretty, and has a nice atmosphere. Our waitress was friendly, but she didn’t really check on us after taking our order. We had two beers and would’ve ordered more if she had come back. On a positive note, the bread she brought out was delicious.
We started with the calamari, which unfortunately were bland, overcooked, and chewy. The sauce served with them was just spicy without much flavor. For mains, the vodka pasta tasted more like mac & cheese—no trace of vodka sauce flavor, though the pasta itself was cooked perfectly. The eggplant pasta was okay, but not great. The eggplant was supposed to be crispy, but since it was smothered in sauce top and bottom, it turned soggy, and the pasta was overcooked.
Overall, I’d consider giving it another shot because the space is so charming—maybe it was just an off day.
