Fellini's Cafe

Very, very disappointing. My parents-in-law were hosting our rehearsal dinner and I told them that I didn’t care where we had the rehearsal dinner; I just want some sort of privacy so we can properly thank those in our wedding party and our parents (we only invited bridal party, parents, spouses, and readers only). My parents-in-law took my husband there to try the food and it was delicious. We met with Franco, the owner, and he was a very kind man. We went over the menu. My husband and I each picked a pasta dish, 1 chicken dish, and 1 veal dish. Franco ensured that he’d block off a section of the restaurant and even had a choose what section. He also told us he’d decorate it real nice. We were running a little late after the rehearsal so my parents-in-law headed to the restaurant before rehearsal ended. We arrived at the restaurant and there are people seated in our section and there are NO decorations. The way our party was setup, we couldn’t hear our guests. I had the waiter clear off the table so we can put our gifts close to our table, he didn’t want to and tried to convenience me to put it behind the table of strangers. I refused to do it, explaining that I shouldn’t have to cater to their mistake. I looked for the manager and told him I was angry since I was told there would be privacy and the table next to us was so loud, we had a hard time hearing the person sitting next to us. He tried to tell me that he told that table that there was a party starting at 7 and they’d have to be cleared out before then when he sat them there at 5. I told him he needs to tell them to pay their bill or move them. He didn’t do anything to fix the problem until after my groomsman hunted him down again. They finally moved the party, after telling them “They want privacy” when they should have said “They have a private party booked in this section like we told you when we sat you”. Once they did, we rearranged the tables and we could finally enjoyed ourselves. The manager never made up for it. The chicken dish we selected was missed and they gave everyone our veal dish. My Mother-in-law wrote Fellini’s a letter and they’ve never contacted her in regards to not getting what we paid for.
