   I had mentioned via OpenTable that it would be my wife's birthday lunch, therefore, was hoping for a pleasant experience. It was a fiasco. After a long wait for our main dishes, both my wife and I were served cold and overcooked pasta. While the waitress offered to reheat our dishes, I chose not to since the pasta was already overcooked. The Caesar salad that we had as an appetizer was delicious, however, to be served cold pasta dishes in a restaurant specialized in Italian food ruined the birthday lunch. The maitre d let the waitress apologize to us but deleted the cost of my wife's pasta dish from the bill. It was frankly the minimum he could do. We left dispirited.

   Yesterday we made our annual pilgrimage to Cantina Gia to celebrate my partner's birthday. We have long considered the cacio e pepe there to be about the best we can outside of Italy. So we had that, the delicious arancini to start, the rapini for a bit of vegetable matter (delicious!), and we shared a tiramisu for dessert. I don't know why, but I had never notice the flight option for amaro liqueurs on the dessert menu. We decided to do that and got to taste three very different amaros. It was such a fun way to end the evening. Overall, splendid! And we will do it again.

   Had noted it was a birthday occasion but there was no effort from the restaurant. Perhaps they don’t do that? If the restaurant doesn’t offer a speciality service for birthdays the app shouldn’t ask if it’s the occasion.
