Walking in the door the restaurant reminded me of an Italian family restaurant I used to work in…read morewhen I was in college. Initially it brought back some good memories and a hope that the food would be as good. As we walked in and were seated though, we were put in a narrow back room with no windows and an old noisy A/C unit. Somewhat claustrophobic. The table itself was sticky, and had a wire bread basket that had two small ramekins with pesto in one, and what we were told was a tomato bruschetta in the other. The tomatoes looked old from the refrigerator with a hazy gray sheen. When bread finally came, it was like a supermarket bread that was heated in the oven, but cold, so it seamed stale. Got up the nerve to try the bruschetta which was overpowered with parmesan. The pesto was overpowered with garlic and there was only one pignoli nut visible in the dish. The server was a very nice young woman. Polite, attentive. They had the policy of waiting until everyone was ready to place a full order with appetizers and mains which was fine, but it took about 45 minutes before the appetizers came out. The appetizers I tasted were good. A caprese salad with olive oil, pesto and a balsamic reduction. Fried Calamari cut in large pieces, but cooked tender. Then came the mains. My meat lasagna was dry on the inside with little or no sauce. It tasted as if it had been frozen previously, The ladle of sauce was not enough to freshen it up, and the cheese on top was burned. My younger son got gnocchi with pesto that arrived looking more like a pesto soup swimming with oil. I lived in NY for 60 years, worked ten years in restaurants through high school and college, and married into an italian family. I've never seen pesto like this. The gnocchi itself was dense and chewy. Not soft and pillowy like it should have been. My wife had abgel hair pasta with shrimp in a fresh tomato sauce. This they got somewhat right. The shrimp was actually cooked just right, the sauce was good, but still a little heavy on parmesan cheese, and some of the pasta was stuck together, so it didn't cook properly.. Overall, it was very disappointing and overpriced for what came out of the kitchen. Definitely will not be going back. As far as the 5 star reviews go, maybe we went on a night that was too busy for the kitchen, or maybe these were friends and family trying to help out and prop up a mediocre experience. Our local Pizzaria does better and for much less $$$.

Garland was silver and beautiful but spoke winter and not autumn. We were seated at a lovely table overlooking the lake. However, the lake is not lit and the view out the window was a black void. We ordered sparkling water. The menu offered one Thanksgiving option and varied dinner options from seafood to pasta. I didn't choose the Thanksgiving option because it was lacking appealing side dishes. Instead, I ordered salmon and a Broccolini Caesar salad to start. The salad was delicious and my husband loved his garden salad. My seared salmon arrived sitting next to small capers in some kind of sauce. My husband ordered scallops and they sat beside risotto. His scallops though seared were undercooked inside. My salmon was nicely seared but small capers as a side? Our dinners were disappointing. We ordered chocolate cheesecake with a brownie crust to go. Trying it after we were home, it was a fluffy top but definitely not cheesecake. Our meals cost $140. I should add that our waitress, Annmarie? was fantastic. Overall, an expensive disappointing dinner.

Because that's setting a precedent. Booth seats, cushions are all worn down and torn up. They were not comfortable. The sangria was good, my Tito's peach tea that I ordered. That sucked, could hardly drink that. All you tasted was vodka, there was no tea or peach flavoring at all. For the size of the pizzas they're very pricey. And jeez are they greasy...as soon as you pick it up, your fingers are drenched in oil, or grease. And they don't even give you enough napkins. They give you what your silverware is wrapped in and that's it. Hardly seen our waitress.

To start off, this restaurant requires a reservation. The same can be said about the steakhouse. I…read moredon't believe any exceptions are made. Although a nice feature is that you can reserve a table and available time through the Mount Airy website, which links you to a commonly used site called OpenTable. As a quick note, if you are a seafood lover with Italian food, then this may be your place to be. Unfortunately I am not a seafood fan, but I thought that there were still enough menu options to try this restaurant out. To start off, our waiter was not very knowledgable about the menu or drinks they offer. Not only this, he never offered to ask a manager or even a more experienced waiter/waitress about the menu. For a small place with very many employees just standing around, this should have not been an issue. The restaurant itself was very nice, but pretty small. It actually seemed like the spaced allotted to the restaurant was shared with the steakhouse. If you combined the size of the steakhouse and this Italian restaurant, you would have a nice sized restaurant. After we finally sorted out the drinks and menu, since there was olive oil and seasoning on the table, we thought we would be treated to bread as you normally are at Italian restaurants. Well besides the bread taking forever to come, we had to serve the olive oil and seasoning ourselves and we were only given the option to choose 1 piece of bread each off of a tray. The bread was warm and delicious, but I would have liked to enjoy more than one piece! I had to actually ask for another piece of bread to be brought over. I never thought I would go to an Italian restaurant that had bread rationing. Not only this, I've had better service at Carabba's or even the Olive Garden and they are not even considered fine dining! Next, it took almost an hour of waiting for our food to be delivered. Sitting in front of the kitchen, I could not find an excuse for this since the chefs were basically just standing around the entire time. Thankfully we were given our desert for free without contest for the wait. However, the excuse was lame and was blamed on a party of 12. So I guess do not visit this restaurant on a busy day! When our food finally came, we were unimpressed with the food for something considered "fine dining" where you should be given crafty and flavorful food, especially for the prices! This was not the case. The food was nothing more than average with little flavor at all. Where the fine dining aspect comes in is on the plate size. Definitely small portions compared to most other Italian restaurants. Overall, very disappointed with this restaurant. For the price of our bill, we would have been much better off at the buffet.
