So if I was to guess, Linda & Kira are family to that so called Italian Verero's restaurant. <BR/>You should be gentle on your words talking about "children" like that....very poor judgement, and very unprofessional if I might say!<BR/>I can tell you that all my family & friends experiences at Mulberry were great, we would highly recommend the choice!<BR/>So try it out, and see for yourself :) I agree screaming kids, and little people blowing up balloons are not a nice relaxing dinner out!!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23311365.post-16320964713631673532008-07-01T18:49:00.000-04:002008-07-01T18:49:00.000-04:00No more traveling 45 minutes for Italian food.

Both were very well prepared and our service was excellent. I'm not sure what happened to linda and kiera's meal but mine was very tasty. We were able to enjoy our meal without the screaming kid we always seem to sit next to at Venero's.

We will be back very soon - and often. The food was great and reasonably priced, and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Went ...Wow, I had about the same experience there. Went with friends who wanted to try it. We love Venero's, but figured what the heck. Looked at the menu and it seemed like a knock-off. It did have some more veal and chicken dishes though. But it wasn't anything I could not get over at Venero's. Had the same young waitress. We had the shrimp scampi and the zuppa di pesce. Both were overpriced and tasteless, no flavor at all. The bread that was given really was not good.(what, no yummy garlic knots) But garlic knots were on the menu. The shrimp were small, even though the menu stated jumbo. Our service was also slow. Seemed like alll the waitresses were kids, I think only one was actually an adult.<BR/>We only went there because the new steak place had a long wait, but that will definately be our last time. I did not try the wine though! lolKira123https://www.blogger.com/profile/05355255181607685119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23311365.post-49969763992329137072008-02-16T18:52:00.000-05:002008-02-16T18:52:00.000-05:00Well, tried the new Italian Place. Even though, t...Well, tried the new Italian Place. Even though, the owner quoted"He was going to teach the people of Clayton what real Italian food is-most people who talked about that quote were insulted. Also, he said, that Italian food was more than red sauce. Well, he did have plenty of red sauce on his menu. Went in,waited a short time. Seemed to be cold inside because the door kept opening right into where you are sitting. Our waitress (looked to be about 14years old,) but she did have her nose pierced so maybe she was 16. I wanted more info on the different wines, but didn't bother to ask her as she clearly did not look old enough to even serve alcohol, let alone drink it. She certainly seemed extremely inexperienced as a waitress. I had the pinot grigio. We were served some kind of frozen bread, I guess it was supposed to be foccacia, and frozen butter packets. I ordered the eggplant parmigiana, hubby ordered the flounder. After waiting an abnormally long time, I finally asked the bewildered waitress where our salads were and she said oops I forgot. The salad arrived and it was small and non-descript. The Italian dressing was bland. So we finally get our dinners and the eggplant had so much breading I could not tell that it was eggplant. The red sauce was very tasteless yet acidic. My hubby's flounder sat in a plate like a naked lump. No presentation, no vegetable no nothing. His was tasteless also, and the linguine (which was mushy,)that was served with it had a clear sauce that was so tasteless, I think it was the pasta water. We sat and waited a long while for the check, finally got our waitress and then she brought us the wrong check and credit card back. I have heard similiar experiences from friends about the food being tasteless, but I had to try for myself. The glass of wine was good though. All in all,the menu clearly looked like a spin-off of Venero's, but the food and service aren't.LIndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11681101707353551281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23311365.post-75363119608272565642008-01-26T21:48:00.000-05:002008-01-26T21:48:00.000-05:00Yum...I'm salivating and missing really good Itali...Yum...I'm salivating and missing really good Italian food. I would have hoped for more reasonable prices, however. $13 for Eggplant Parm is a bit steep.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
