Di Parma - Hayward

The worst experience I have ever had, I made a package for a party and nothing that was agreed was fulfilled, the food, they put half of what was agreed (there were no dishes, and to give more dishes they asked for another food order to be made) The waiters were their brothers and they were so drunk that they didn't even know what they were doing, the dessert table became plastic cups full of fruit, flan and a chocolate...They are thieves, they take advantage of the opportunity to overcharge you...Be careful with these people, if you don't want to be embarrassed and look bad with your guests, don't rent this place...

The place was empty when we walked in and we should’ve taken that as our cue to eat elsewhere. We ended up here because the other first choice was closed in Monday’s. It’s American version of Italian food. The food was just ok but then I bit down on a piece of plastic in my entree. I told the waitress but she didn’t take the meal off our bill or seem to understand. Very hard to communicate with the server as she only spoke Spanish. Communication slightly improved after I used what little Spanish I know to ask for basics. Would not recommend.

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.

The calamari was like crackers.... Or maybe pork cracklings. The food was edible but so salty that I felt like I was in a science experiment to see how much sodium you can eat. It seems like a place that needs to be reimagined into a restaurant where they cook thing they know how to cook. I wanted it to be passable for Italian. I sadly was not. The service was ok but we were the only people there... On a Friday night. Maybe the rest of their customers have high blood pressure and have a sodium limit in their diets.

Soooo good I love the fresh bread with EVO vinegar and the pasta was sooo good, the wine was spectacular! Love it and customer service is ???
