Cipriani's Italian Grill, Rochester

Great place and food

non alcoholic drinks should have been covered with coupon as this was only place that did not

Although the food was good, the plates and silverware had residue of the prior meals on some of them, and we had to get new ourselves from a neighboring table because the waitress's attendance was sparse. Gross. I would recommend some diversity training for the wait staff. Our particular waitress only had two tables to wait on - ours and one other. The other table was a young family - mom, dad, 16 year old daughter and younger child. The waitress continuously harassed the 16 year old about not finishing her meal, and then harassing the parents that they let her get away with it. When the waitress walked to the kitchen, it was clear from the conversation at the table that the family did not know this waitress and the comments by her were not appreciated. I was at the point where I almost said something to the waitress when the family paid the bill and left. Our personal experience was equally disappointing. It was like a flashback in time. My partner and I are 30 and 31, both women. The same waitress described above barely spoke to us & acted as though our presence was making her ill. Noteworthy, is that we are not affectionate in public... even the other waitress was staring from the kitchen. We both felt like a zoo exhibit, and will not be dining there again.

The special was lousy but my wife's meal made the dinner worth wile
