THIS PLACE IS TERRIBLE. WE STARTED OUR NIGHT AT OUR FAVORITE ITALIAN RESTAURANT SCALINI IN BRONXVILLE, AND THE WAIT WAS TOO LONG THAT WE DECIDED TO GO ELSEWHERE. I DRIVE PAST CASABRUSCO ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AND I READ THE REVIEW IN THE TIMES SO WE THOUGHT WE'D TRY IT. FROM THE MOMENT WE STEPPED IN THE DOOR, OUR MOODS CHANGED. THE ARROGANT, UNGRACIOUS MANAGER OR HOST COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE DISRESPECTFUL. SINCE WE DIDN'T HAVE A RESERVATION, HE LOOKED AT US LIKE WE DIDN'T BELONG THERE. EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE SEVERAL OPEN TABLES, SHE ""DID US A FAVOR"" AND SAT US. WE WERE HESITANT TO EVEN GO ANY FURTHER, BUT YOU CAN'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER, HOWEVER IN THIS CASE THE COVER TELLS YOU EVERYTHING. WHEN WE DIDN'T WANT TO ORDER MINERAL WATER OR DRINKS , WE THOUGHT THEY WOULD INTENTIONALLY ADD A LITTLE ""FLAVOR"" TO OUR FOOD. WE FELT LIKE WE WERE BACK IN JUNIOR HIGH AND THE WAIT STAFF WAS GOSSIPING ABOUT US IN THE CORNER. WHEN I PAY $25 FOR TRAY OF CHEESES, I EXPECT A LITTLE MORE THAN 5 MICROSCOPIC PIECES OF CHEESE. THIS IS A HORRIBLE DATE PLACE, BECAUSE NOT ONLY ARE YOU SITTING RIGHT ON TOP OF THE COUPLE NEXT TO YOU, BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO PAY A FORTUNE TO FEEL CLOSE TO SATISFIED. I HAVE A GOOD JUDGEMENT OF GREAT FOOD, AND THIS JUST WASN'T IT. IF YOU CAN'T TELL BY NOW, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT TO EVEN MY WORST ENEMY.\r
