Puglia Of Hester Street

Who gives only 2 waiters for a party of 90???? Pulgias...food is good but how do you serve dinner at almost 10 pm for a party that is 6-10? Around 10 people didn’t even eat their dinner because they left before it came out. It was a kids party they knew that. Dessert wasn’t served until almost 10:30. And by served I mean the guests had to get up and get the cake because it was taking so long for the poor waiters to serve so many people. The coffee was ice cold and most people didn’t get a fork with their cake. They used their coffee spoons. We had children screaming for forks just sitting there looking at the cake in front of them. The manager was rude, creepy, and had no sympathy. The place can’t handle private parties. Best part is the regular dining area had a bunch of waiters sitting around.

The food took forever to get to our table. We had reservations for 7:00 pm and left the restaurant at 11:15. This place needs the guy from bar resque to get them organized. The food was good, but I ordered Seafood risotto that came without risotto. I started eating and thinking where is the risotto and I found spaghetti at the bottom. NEVER AGAIN!

We went there for dinner. The service was great and very attentive. My son has food allergies and they were accomadating and very helpful. The owner was there and on top of it all. The food was amazing. It was old school italian. The waiter Salvatore was awesome. Will def be back. Thinking of having a party there.

The place itself was nice, reminded me of an old school italian restaurant. Service was ok but it looked like the waitor was new and in training so that's probably why service was just "ok". And the reason why im giving it a 3 is because there is room for improvement. I got the seafood risotto and my fish was overcooked. And the fried calamari was too chewy. Again, nice place. But needs improvement.
