5 reviews for Abbondanza Ristorante
My friends have come to rely on me for recommendations for Friday night dining, and Yelp led me to this Everett spot.
We got there early, around 6, and we were one of only three parties. We got bread quickly, which was warm and good. Then a waitress came over and read no fewer than ten entree specials, all of which were complicated and came with different side dishes. Like, really? If you're going to have that many specials, why don't you just print them out? I couldn't concentrate on any of them long enough to figure out if I wanted them before she went on to the next one. Annoying.
Anyways, I got a glass of wine, which was a little pricey but good. I ordered the gnocchi and was somewhat disappointed. I saw one of the other reviewers on Yelp said the gnocchi was the best she'd ever had, so I had high hopes, but they were somewhat of a let down. Not to say they were bad, but they certainly weren't in my top ten gnocchi dishes and they were far from the best I'd ever had. I should have opted for the fusilli with broccoli rapi.
My dining guests seemed semi-pleased with their food.
My biggest problem, though, was the service. We had somewhere to be, and it was clear that we were done with our meals. We had to ask for our check not once, not twice, but THREE times before it came, and that all took more than twenty minutes. It's not because they were swamped with people or shorthanded or anything; there were four waitresses on and only six occupied tables by the time we were done. I just find that kind of service pretty unacceptable. We ended up being late for our engagement because of it.
So while the food was ok, I don't think Abbondanza is a place I would return to. There are just too many better places out there.
This is one of my favorite Italian restaurants! They have the best gnocchi and tortellini that I have ever had. I would also recommend the pork chops with vinegar peppers and potatoes. They serve nice bread and salads with each meal. The service is good and I don't believe that the food is too overpriced but it is not cheap either. The restaurant is a bit small but the food is delicious.
The food is so delicious and the atmosphere is comfortable and nice. Very nice waitress named Tanya. The food is a tiny bit expensive but worth it. Great desserts!
Very very good! We made reservations for 830, but didn't need them and actually got to sit at like 815. I got the idea of this restaurant from my Entertainment book and it such a great choice. The salad dressing was so yummy especially dipped in the bread. Great Italian food in a small restaurant where everyone seems to know each other.
Great food, great service. What more can you ask for?
