Pedrotti's Italian Restaurant

Very disappointed with our recent dining experience. Our family has been a loyal Amalfi's customer for 20 years. On our recent visit we were served waters in big blue Pepsi to-go cups, and our food mostly on paper plates. For many years, the menu was extensive, with at least 20 or more main course options that were Amalfi's signature dishes. Family recipes that were mainstays to this long-time restaurant. Not any more - i saw about 6 non-pizza main course options. The quality of the food served had also left a lot to be desired. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is we are saddened to say we are not returning. We had many wonderful meals there over the years, and it used to be a reliable semi-upscale neighborhood dining experience. Credit to our waiter, he was he was great, upbeat, and kind. He was a bright light in an otherwise disappointing Amalfi's experience.

So disappointed. We called early and were told "no reservations needed for parties under 10." However, when we arrived, the dining room was full and we were directed outdoors. We were not dressed for outdoors. We sat for 3 minutes discussing whether or not we should leave. I remembered a quality dining experience in the past, so I encouraged my companions to stay. We were subjected to live music we didn't really enjoy because the sound system was over modulated and the band was too casual about their performance. My sciatic nerve does not enjoy hard picnic table seats, and the party next to us was so drunk they were screeching laughter over the sound of the music. My party couldn't even have a conversation. We wasted at least 5 minutes trying to figure out if we needed to order through their online app (register your email first? While hungry?) or should we approach the window? We finally approached the window, waited in line, and then a nice fellow explained it was "either, whichever is easier." (Does anyone find that app easier? Maybe if English is your second language...) So we got our order in, which was cool, but then the desert came first. We laughed about that, ate the desert before the entre. The Sangria I ordered was way too full and I spilled it on my eating surface. At one point a woman in a "Amalfi's family" shirt came and explained that the short staffing means she does better with outdoor seating than indoors. Some of us were seasoned veterans of restaurants and understood this to be a management issue. I was so disappointed I'll never be back. One problem? Okay. But all of this? Sorry, folks you've lost a long time fan.

I have enjoyed getting takeout from Amalfi's, but I would not recommend dining in. Dinner for two was $60+ and everything was served on paper and plastic. The cost did not equal the experience, as I felt like I was eating airplane food. If you are going to get Amalfi's, definitely get your food to go!

We've been going to this restaurant for over 20 years and will not go back again. Paper plates and plastic cups at fine dining prices. Ridiculous. Used to get bread, salad and spumoni with your meal. Nothing comes with meal now, and the prices are higher. Service left a lot to be desired. Nice enough servers, but we had to ask, sometimes repeatedly, for what we needed. I really expected more and am so disappointed. Won't be back and would never recommend.
