Italian Affair Restaurant

one of the best restaurants I've ever been to

Havent been back in the area in quite some time and today was a COMPLETE disappointment. Thought what better place to go for happy hour, but boy was I wrong. Have to say the bartenders (Italian dude and white skinny dude) were 75% the reason for this review, the food being the second. Got an espresso martini (was terrible and definitely just coffee little to no alcohol) got a Chicken Milanese happy hour small plate and it was the finest piece of chicken cutlet with a few pieces of green. The bartenders were constantly in our faces trying to take bread and food that we were still working on, both bartenders messed up on two of our entrees complete wrong food came out. Then waited 20 minutes for them to come back over and happy hour ended at 6, at 6:01 he took my order and took 5 minutes to come back and tell me he was charging the full price, then issue with boxing up food to go. Complete horrible taste all around of this place today. Really wanted to say something to a manager, but this review is BEYOND warranted. Both bartenders were awful, terrible service, & the food was just as poor as them. 12$ for a mule (9.50 mixed drink fee with 2.50 for a ginger beer mix?) place went sideways what ashame. Why go here when you can go up the road to Lascalas for way better service and food and prices.

Came here for lunch. TL;DR: The staff is great, drinks and food are excellent. Detail: Ordered the Piomentese flatbread -- was excellent. Ordered the meat and cheese board - excellent variety of cheese, loved the meat too - especially the salami. Ordered the Mango Margarita and gin mule - both were pretty good. For main course, we had the chicken alfredo pasta and a custom vegetarian pasta suggested by our kind waitress. Both dishes were delicious! Lastly we tried their homemade gelato - pistachio and vanilla flavor - but I didn't like the flavors :( their regular cheesecake was ok, not bad but not too exceptional too. But thats ok. Their other dishes were exceptional and we enjoyed them. Will repeat!
