I""ve tried for months to get an 8 PM Saturday night reservation and was told that you need to try at least 1 month in advance. When my recent Sat. night plans changed, I called Giumarellos to see if they had any openings. I was shocked to find out that they had an 8 o'clock opening. My husband and I were so excited that we were finally going to try this great Italian restaurant. Boy, were we disappointed!!! I'll start by mentioning that the place is very pretty with a nice garden room and the service is wonderful. However, the food was not. The fried calamari was soggy, the crabcakes were presented like a crab imperial, the salmon was dry, and the capellini with crabmeat was overcooked and soupy. The cocktail list was outstanding and the martinis were very good. I""m wondering that maybe I got a reservation so easily was because people are beginning to see that there are better Italian restaurants around.
Pros: drink list; service; ambience
Cons: food
