Il Cuoco Galante

We first dined here about six years ago and were charmed by what felt like a truly authentic Italian experience. The open kitchen buzzed with Italian chefs crafting fresh pasta and sauces, while generous platters of charcuterie were carved to order. The food was vibrant and of superb quality, the atmosphere lively, and the well-dressed servers were both friendly and attentive. Sadly, none of that remains. On our recent visit, the restaurant felt dim and tired. The once-energetic kitchen now had only one or two cooks, and the ingredients appeared less fresh—many seeming pre-prepared rather than made in-house. The restaurant was clearly understaffed, and service suffered as a result. We ordered two different pasta dishes, both of which were merely average and lacked the freshness and flavor we once remembered. Overall, it was a significant disappointment. Even with discounts available through TheFork, we would not recommend returning.

The main chef is a man with long loose hair, dirty aspect and a hat. Considering than we saw when he cooked our dishes and that he kept dipping and sucking his fingers to try all the ingredients and not cleaned his hands even once, really unfortunate dinner which honestly made our stomachs sick. Been a while to write this review as the woman serving the tables was very nice, but the memory of our food full of this man’s saliva, its just something i would not recommend to anybody.
