Abbraccio by villageidiot

Abbraccio could be a real neighborhood star if they could just improve the food and service. Three times I've tried them now. The wait staff doesn't know the menu, and is either MIA or too in your face, and the food is really hit or miss. The calamari was good, albeit overpriced, and a meatloaf sandwich was delicious, but the pasta falls down, especially the pesto and vodka sauces. A couple of the special entrees have been downright gross. The place has its defenders. But a restaurant doesn't succeed by pleasing some people, it has to avoid disappointing all but a few people, and Abbraccio (as I can tell from other message boards) is sending too many people out the door who have no interest in coming back.
For me, three strikes is enough!
