Wow... as in wow that was awful! I used to go to the Oakland Filippo's when they first opened and always really liked it for the quality, portion, and price. It was great, but that was many years ago.
Marisha and I ate at the Berkeley Elmwood location tonight and it was so lacking neither of us finished our meals. I had the spaghetti and meatballs and only ate a few bites. Tasted like someone opened a can of Hunts tomato sauce and balled up some plain hamburger. C'mon folks, how can you mess up spaghetti and meatballs! Marisha had the pizza margarita, again, bland and little personality. You'd be better off going to Pasta Pomadoro. At least it's decent for the price.
On a positive note, the service was great. Our waitress was horrified and took the pasta off the bill. She also said that she would talk to the owner due to many complaints that the various cooks (who change from day to day) seem to do what they want and don't follow the same recipe. Clearly the cook tonight hasn't ever eaten Italian food.
