Delray Beach, Italian. 
Re-reviewed.

When this restaurant first opened up several years ago in the Delray Beach we rated 4 stars.  Then the food quality and service was very good.  Now, several years later, it appears management is no longer trying to be good.  Menu items changed.  Good items form the past are no longer.  New items such as meatballs and spaghetti or lasagna which are typical Italian dishes now are very small and expensive dishes.  This evening I had a choice between a small burger (in an Italian restaurant, really) vs Lasagna.  Chose the Lasagna.  Small portion, about 4 bites.  Comes with nothing, no salad, no vegies, nothing.

Costs $18.00.  About half of the small portion was burnt.  When I complained waitress said that all portions are the same and the burnt portion wasn’t very large!

Good wine choices from the past now replaced with not so good wines at prices more in line with finer restaurants.  We were dining on a Sunday evening at 6:45pm.  Crowded and very very loud.  The kind of loud where you can’t hear your dining partner sitting inches away.  Service (by Jackie) not so good either.

Coffee served such that the doily, in the form of a paper napkin, is soaked as shown in the photo to the left.  Of course this means it spilled several times before it arrived to our table.

Probably okay place for desserts  and especially if you like loud expensive restaurants with little value.  Will be a while before we visit again.
