Briscola Reno

Only a bad experience! we were for a birthday party and it turned out that it was cold eating and bad service. Regardless of whether they are busy, there are no excuses for eating cold, which should be served hot. the waitress seemed to give us the impression that we were not her main focus.

We were seated in the outer room the bar area. The space is nice, but less formal and intimate than the back room. Our table for four was a little awkwardly places at right angle to another table. Our waiter, while friendly, was inexperienced and generally unfamiliar with wines and menu items. I had the Veal Picatta. It was ok, but not outstanding. Two of the veal slices were tender, but the third was a bit tough and overcooked. I felt the sauce was a bit heavy on the cream and light on the lemon and capers. Sides are a la carte. The garlic bread was not warm and was a bit dry. Overall, the meal was not terrible, but nothing special. This was pretty standard generic Italian food. Since we are locals, I would probably not eat here again as there are other choices in town for more innovative Italian food.

Great food. Large selection. The chicken Parmesan was delicious. Atmosphere quiet and relaxing. Service was professional and attentive.

Enjoyed the food and service, only drawback, we heard our waiter reading specials to other patrons after we ordered. Disappointed we were not given that opportunity to enjoy the specials for the evening.

The restaurant and menu are very outdated. Food was ok but nothing exciting. Wine by the glass is a small amount. Can not believe this is a Charlie Palmer offering. I will not return.
