The Lounge at Piacere Ristorante

Below average, try elsewhere

Thr food was uninspired and quite frankly not very good. Service was somewhere between disinterested and incompetent. Our server wanted to take our dinner order without offering to take a beverege order first or explain the specials. When asked whether there were any specials, he said something to the effect of "Oh, I'll have to go check" and disappeared for 15 minutes, still not having taken a drink order. When we finally sorted that out and got our order in we found the seared duck risotto was way overdone as was the ahi tuna. Do yourself a favor and go across the street to Town or up the street to Cafe La Tosca.

Watch your belongings

While the food and ambience could be described as adequate, the service and service practices leave much to be desired.

On a recent date evening at Piacere, my glasses and sunglasses were left at our table.

Despite the fact that we were pretty much the last couple out, AND that we had the waiters name, neither of the items ever re-appeared. Rather the management insisted, that we lost them somewhere else - which was simply impossible.

Anyway - not an experienece to be repeated.
