Four women recently walked in to Fusco's for an early dinner on a weekday. Only two other tables (a total of four other diners) were seated, and were already started on their appetizers. Nonetheless, we four waited for more than 15 minutes to get the attention of our waiter to come for our drink orders. Once given, the drinks took another 15 minutes to arrive. By this time, we were starving, but menus had not even been given to us. We asked for menus, raced through them to find something that could be prepared and served quickly. and once again hunted down the waiter. He finally acknowledged our presence so we placed our orders and asked for some bread. Ten minutes later...no bread. Fifteen minutes...no bread. Twenty minutes later...out came the entrees, followed 10 minutes after that by the bread. Other diners had finished and were waiting for their checks. They waited; we ate. As soon as the waiter handed over the check to the table next to us, we told him that we were ready for ours, too. (We weren't, really, but didn't want to endure another wait.) That proved to be good planning. When we were finished, we waited yet another 10 minutes for the check.
Pros: Pretty setting in historic section of town.
Cons: Abominable service.
