Cinema Paradiso Review

Cinema Paradiso
$$, Italian, Jordaan
User Rating: ** 2.3
Fodor's Review:
This former art-house cinema has been reinvented as a designer eatery serving excellent starters -- both the bresaola (an antipasto of air-dried salted beef that has been aged for two months, sliced thin, and moistened with olive oil and lemon) and gambas (prawns) are pure manna. But for the Full Montini, you can also choose from a wide array of simple pastas and pizzas. The restaurant doesn't take reservations, but you can linger at the pleasant bar while you wait (sometimes for quite a stretch) for a table.

Horrible, horrible service
Posted by Troy from The Netherlands on 4/10/06
We had a booking for a group and our only option was to go for the preset menu. Even with this, it took them literally more than two hours to bring us the food. When we complained about this the waiters ignored us and we decided to talk to the owner. To our surprise not only he didn't apologize, but he actually said that he didn't want to 'have a scene' in his restaurant so we may have to leave his restaurant if we didn't shut up! Amazing, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to my worst enemy.RATING: 2.2
