Pier 71 Bar e Cucina

We had a difficult time choosing any vegetarian options even though most Italian food has a lot of vegetarian gormet food. We ordered at the end of the arduous task of sifting through an very small menu the mushroom risotto, which arrivewd at the table resembling what it was but when upon tasting it, it tasted like it had no salt. Luckily the restaursant had Sicilian table salt at the table. It was very bland apart form adding the salt. Customer service was excellent and we were treated very well. We ordered conolli but what we received was far from authentic Italian canolli. This was not an authentic experience and I would describe it as average. I'm not going to be too negative as the service was nice. The menu needs to be expanded. Like for instance "pasta with cuccuzza" or something autrhentic. I can tell that this restaurant has a lot of potential to be named as fine dining if they stop focusing on thew fast food approach to fine dining. Please improve as my ratings for you guys will too. I excpect excellence from italians. Show your quality expand your menu and show the true dishes from our country. Other than that the chefs did a wonderful job with the limited menu they have. I would dine there again. Just hope for a higher choice of genuine italian recepies.

Upon arrival we were greeted with a lovely smile. Had multiple options to be seated. Jazmin served us, she was very friendly and made us feel very comfortable. Margarita Pizza was the highlight, chip sauce had weird taste and consistency and the ravioli tasted very similar to the supermarket brands. Overall the experience was good and staff were friendly.
