Review of Pelato

Unfortunate experience with the owners wife. Before I dive into that- yes it has GF pasta, but other than that there isn’t much on the menu. The staff isn’t knowledgeable and doesn’t even seem to care about GF.

Food would have been good (we loved their NYC restaurant years ago and Luogo), but one entree came out and the other one still hadn’t come out after 20+ minutes. The owners wife came over, and Instead of offering an apology and taking significant charges off the bill, she came over to our table in a huff and offered to comp the missing entree and it would be out in 4 minutes. We expressed our disappointment and understood it was a busy night, but that we were bummed by the experience. The conversation escalated into the owners wife storming off after yelling at us that “20 minutes isn’t long in a busy restaurant.” She then went on to say they were going to offer us free dessert. When I said we didn’t want that, we just wanted our original food, she sarcastically screeched “reallyyyyyy.”

All I can say is 20 minutes IS long between entrees and we had to flag our waitress down just to ask what was going on. Avoid this restaurant unless you want your night ruined.
