Review of Muscarella's Cafe Italia

Last year we booked a group table (local Celiac group) and we were limited by the number of people, even though they have a private party room & could have put us in there as it was empty but they wanted to charge us. Then our group was asked to leave because we were there too long. Also the menu changed- several of the items I love they eliminated (stuffed Hungarian peppers) & the wild mushroom risotto as a side. They said they only offered the risotto as an ENTREE. Now who in the heck gets risotto as an ENTREE?? So I insisted I wanted the risotto as a side (how much trouble can it be to serve a smaller portion?) . So even though they finally agreed (after several back & forth arguments) to give me the risotto as a side, they delivered my Gluten Free chicken picatta with GF pasta , and forgot the risotto. It was very disappointing. We used to go there all the time, spending quite a lot on sparkling wine, and we also tip very well. Not any more.
