Trattoria Di Meo

Very disappointed. Restaurant was jam packed and very noisy. My Minestrone soup tasted like they put some cooked vegetables into warm water. Perhaps they ran out of soup and rushed this out. We had a 7:30 PM reservation on a Saturday, and they were out of the Bronzini special. Worse when they brought out the main courses---- several minutes apart for that matter- we were told that they were out of red snapper one of their regular menu items. This necessitated one person in our group having to order a new main course after everyone else had their entrees. My Cat fish was very undercooked and had to be sent back. Our table for six had a broken leaf, and their answer was to move my plate closer to the middle. It was so loud I could not hear our friends across from us. Right next to us they turned a table for four into a six by adding a small table that almost bumped into our table. The owner's comment,"" what do you want me to do turn people away"", was really not satisfactory. This higher priced restaurant was so packed it had the feel that it was filled with people with coupons. $27.00 for a half bottle of a non-reserve Chianti seemed a little high. Portions were small for the price charged. On the bright side the bread served before the meal was good and the Cappuccino was excellent. Although the waiter brought out a decaf instead of the regular that I had ordered. It was so loud I thought the staff had trouble hearing their customers!!!!! more

So we were invited there for a 30th birthday with a bunch of friends and really enjoyed the meal and thought the service was good too. I ordered a bellini that tasted like it was just picked from the tree-so delicious! Everyone of us 11 in total said the food was some of the better italian in the area Pros: I loved everything Cons: old school! But we like that feel! more

I decided to take my employees out for dinner and I chose Trattoria Di Meo because of a recommendation.\r Well I can't believe how this place was not in my RADAR!!! I was so impressed as we were greeted by the owner and escorted us to his favorite table. From my first glass of wine I started with the house salad and we ordered the antipasto for the table, clams posilipo,hot antipasto, broccoli rabe n sausage, and for my entree I had the broiled baby racks of lamb saute'd with tuscan pepperoncini..OMG it was incredible and very spicy hot which I love. I would recommend this place to those in search of ""Parkside"" without the gumbas and its right in your backyard......Sal the owner and staff are fantastic, they could'nt do enough for us. Thanks guys. Pros: Excellent service more
