Went to dinner last night at
Spazzo in Redmond Town Center. I'd been previously when they were located in
Bellevue and had been underwhelmed (but not dissatisfied) Spazzo claims to be a
"World Class Italian Restaurant". Let's deconstruct this 'dog' one step at a
time:
Atmosphere: Noisy and loud. Staff were running around like
confused chickens. It felt like a badly run family restaurant (which is sad
indictment as America is overflowing with well known family restaurants).
Drinks: I was sans booze last night but I did peruse the wine
list. Hardly "World Class". The local Olive Garden has a better wine list.
Food: Poor value for money. My $20+ veal was simply thrown on
the plate with no sense of style. The meat itself was tough and tasteless.
Service: Very spotty. I under tipped and probably should have
left nothing.
Verdict: Don't.
