Mom Chaffe's Cellarette - Reading

I have never had Italian food this bad before! The food was a 1, service was a 2, and atmosphere was a 4.

Our first time there and we were very impressed! Will definitely go back, as well as spread the word on how great it is! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We sat in the cozy alcove behind the bar for the first time, which was a perfect spot for a quiet dinner and conversation without the typical restaurant noise. Our server was fantastic and very attentive, and the rest of the staff was also very accommodating. I ordered the chicken Parmesan and it was delicious, as was the bruschetta. I would definitely recommend this place for a nice date night. Service: Dine-in.

I have visited this lovely local restaurant twice now and had a wonderful experience each time. The Italian food is delicious and the wait staff is friendly and personable. The dining room is cozy and quaint. While some items on the menu may be a bit pricey, the high quality and filling portions make it worth it. Overall, a great choice for a delicious dinner.

My family and I went to mom chaffes this evening to find that they employ one of the absolute worst waiters we have ever come across. This gentleman was very unattentive and was extremely disappointed that we were not ordering alcoholic beverages. He needed to be flagged down in order to get refills on the soda, coffee, and the water. This is not our first time at mom chaffes but this time it was so bad that we are contemplating not returning. I won't list the servers name bc I don't wish to mess with anyone's income, however I would put this out there as a warning to the management to do better. We spent over 300 on the meal in total and we watched as other parties who were of the same size were treated differently than we were. When you go out to a nice restaurant, the experience is everything, and clearly the experience was so awful that it was worth writing this review. My father ordered a seafood lasagna which happened to be a special... he took a few bites and stated that it tasted like there was Palmolive dish detergent in the vodka sauce. He was not willing to tell the waiter because the waiter obviously would not have cared anyways. My dish was good, but I am writing this for the party. I'm sorry mom chaffes please do better.
