Di Parma - Hayward

I had the worst experience ever at this restaurant. I arranged a package for a party, but none of the agreed-upon details were honored. The food was significantly less than promised, and when we asked for more dishes, they insisted we place another food order. The waitstaff, who appeared to be family members of the owners, were so drunk they couldn't even perform their duties. The dessert table was nothing more than plastic cups filled with fruit, flan, and chocolate. This place is a scam; they take advantage of their customers and overcharge them. If you want to avoid embarrassment and not disappoint your guests, steer clear of this place.

The wine selection was quite limited, as they were out of stock on many options.

When we arrived, the restaurant was completely empty, which should have been a sign for us to go somewhere else. We chose this place because our first choice was closed on Mondays. The food is an American take on Italian cuisine, and it was just mediocre. However, things went from bad to worse when I bit into a piece of plastic in my entree. I informed the waitress, but she didn’t remove the meal from our bill and didn't seem to fully grasp the situation. It was also challenging to communicate with her since she only spoke Spanish. I managed to improve communication a bit by using my limited Spanish to ask for basic things. I definitely would not recommend this restaurant.

Parking: Free Parking garage is not close, but reasonable distance .

I had the chicken parmesan. Sauce was a little thin but tasted pretty good. It was served with some penne pasta and vegetables that were both cooked just right. It seemed a little overpriced, but what isn't these days? Dinner and a glass of wine were just under 40 per person.
