My wife and I dined at the restaurant last Friday. We had a pre-theatre reservation and arrived at 6 pm. The interior was like an older pizza place in Brooklyn and we were expecting a solid, but not an elegant experience. Contrary to the reviews (that I suspect were given by the staff), the food was poorly prepared and served cold. The salmon dish was not fresh and looked as though it had been cooked in the morning and kept on a buffet table. The pasta was mushy, over cooked and poorly flavored. The best part of the meal was the bread. When I asked the waiter to replace my dish, he said no. He did say he would try to reheat it for me. When I received the second try it was no better--just over cooked, barely warm and total tasteless. It was insulting not be able to get my dish replaced with hot, fresh food. This uncaring approach truly reflects the attitude of the chef and the restaurant. Take my warning--this restaurant does not care about its customers. Dopo Teatro is an "eat it and beat it" restaurant for an unsuspecting tourist. And do not expect any consideration or courtesy from the wait staff as they are too busy to care whether a diner gets good food or has a good experience.
