When: 2010

Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I was disappointed by our food and service at Garga.

I went to Garga with high expectations. One of our party had been to Garga before and loved it. Judy Witts Francini's "Florence for Foodies" guide recommended it, and I had read other good reviews. Unfortunately, our experience did not match my expectation. Our party of three shared two pasta dishes, which were good. The veal I chose, with a gorgonzola sauce was so uninteresting, I decided after taking a couple of bites, not to waste the calories. We shared tiramisu and cheesecake for dessert. The tiramisu was good, the cheesecake was heavy. I felt like I had stepped back into the late 60's in the United States and it wasn't to my taste. I won't return.
