The crowd of Ganzi was very diverse. You could see young couples, groups of buddies, and large groups such as mine in the dining room.
They claim to be an authentic regional Italian restaurant but looking at their menu was quite hard to understand which region of Italy they were referring to as the menu was all over the place.
I had a fig, prosciutto and melon crostini with mushroom as an appetizer. It was barely eatable even through the crostini was perfectly crispy. I am not an Italian chef but as far as I know, Italian food should be simple and unpretentious. When you mix so many ingredients you not only go far away from the principles of Italian cooking but you also need to be extremely skilled and… that was clearly not the case.
Oh, and the restaurant website does not list the name of their chef, and my guess is because they probably don’t have one. That would explain a lot!
The pollo scaloppine (which in proper Italian is scaloppini di pollo) was good, I have to admit.
The staff was….young and inexperienced, or just plain inexperienced. I was not clear on how many tables our waitress was waiting on but it felt overwhelming to us. The whole process was sloooow. Unfortunately, I have very little sympathy for restaurateurs who don’t take their business seriously. Not having your staff trained on what you serve is unacceptable. Giving more tables to a server than she/he can handle is just not smart. We could have spent way more money if we had a server available and if they knew what they were serving. We all felt sad for our waiter scrambling to put together our bill. The dining experience felt very amateurish. I hate when I have to write reviews like this one but unfortunately that’s life. I would not return to that place.
