Reviews for I’m Eddie Cano in 5014 Connecticut Ave NW, WA
This was my first visit to I?m Eddie Cano. Atmosphere was pleasing and friendly however the food left much to be desired. I... ordered the Eggplant Parmesan which came with no pasta accompanying it. The portion was small and the eggplant was over cooked,under flavored and fiberous. I?ve had better sauce come from a canned supermarket jar. My wife had the ravioli carbonara. Thistoo was poor in quality. The pasta was undercooked (far more firm than al dente) and the filling was dry, chewy and with littletaste, and the sauce was no way a carbonara sauce, not even a hint. When the manager noticed our conversation about the food, hecame over and asked if everything was ok. I was honest about out disappointing experienced and he offered a free desert toaccommodate us. I figured if the food was this unpleasant, the dessert would probably be no better. I will not be returning tothis establishment. Read more
Won?t return. Customer service was horrible. Felt rushed to order take out by the aggressive hostess. Ordered wine while I... waited. The bartender asked if I enjoyed it. When I replied ?not really? I thought he?d ask why or try to remedy it. Hedidn?t. He barely waited for me to finish my sentence. Read more
Woo! When I stopped to ask for a seat, I saw too many people on outdoor dining were sitting and enjoying the food and drink.... Nice staff, great drinks, good food. Good location Read more
Stopped in after an Alton Brown book signing across the street. Book in hand, I asked for a seat and sat for an easy 10 minutes... before approached by anyone. In the same time a pair of women were seated next to me, delivered water, drink orders, and adiscussion of the menu. When I finally was served, I ordered orecchiette, which ended up being quite tasty, well spiced sausagewith a decent sauce. Plate was dropped off, and that was the last I saw of my waiter until we?ll after I was done, stacked myplates in plain view, and waited some more. The bill came in a very timely fashion. Overall the food was good, but service wasappalling. I don?t know if I smelled funny, looked too poor to afford a $20 plate of pasta, or what. The final insult ended upbeing charged for the wrong bill. Read more
Tried their wild boar pasta. Had a lot of expectations but was underwhelmed. The pasta felt fresh and soft but the sauce felt... very bland. I thought they forgot to add salt into the wild boar sauce. It did not have that Italian kick to it. Read more
Just happened to find a killer parking space and decided to eat in the neighborhood. Oh joy. The octopus was perfectly cooked,... nicely plated and super hot. I was on the fence about a main course and am grateful I chose the steak also perfectly preparedand atop a smear of gorgonzola cream. Interesting that you're supposed to say I'm Eddie Cano fast and they wear bowling shirts.. Read more
One comes here for the Italian dishes. There is a list of American dishes but that is another story. No reservations needed or... offered. While the Italian offerings are classic dishes, these are served with a unique flare with subtle, creative flavorings.You will also find the good service to be Italian. A shout-out to Alessandro. The environment is contemporary with family styleseating. We were there on a Wednesday evening and it was reasonably busy for this quiet neighborhood. Depending on yourappetite, you may find the portions small for the price. There are dishes for two offered. However, given the family styleseating, I would recommend a few family portioned offerings for sharing. Read more
Had take out urge and the order of pasta bolognese and chicken parm was delivered on time on a Saturday night. The chicken parm... was disappointing as it undercooked and very chewy. Luckily I can cook it a bit more in the microwave. Bolongnese was fine,nice flavorful sauce. Read more
