by michelle s. on This was my first time here. I went with my friend from new york. Between the 2 of us, I'm more of a foodie but I'm bringing him to the sugary side soon enough with all the restaurants we go to. After walking by this place for years as a teen, I finally took my adult self and my adult friend here. It was a wonderful day out so we wanted to sit outside. The hostess was very nasty little asian lady who took literally 10 minutes to even appear. It was a line of 4 separate groups waiting and the hostess was nowhere in sight. When a waiter finally saw us he looked away quickly without saying anything I guess so he did not have to do anything. Finally getting the outdoor seating we requested we found out that it was very cramped but they have mother nature on there side to even out the experience. We wanted chicken Caesar or just Caesar Salad which they did not have. I have never been to an Italian restaurant that did not have Caesar salad, even neighborhood spots have it. We then ordered the white pizza with prosciutto and sun dried tomatoes. The menu was different from others I've seen. Instead of set menu items such as "Pietro's special pizza" or "pineapple feast", the pizza itself was about $16 for the medium size. Then you add on toppings from there which gets expensive if you wanted something exotic with many toppings. The food itself was good pizza, not superb but filling and good enough to compliment the beginning of our springy day. The funny part was the waiter. He seemed scared to even say hello. He inched up slowly to our table saying hello after assessing the situation I guess. Then throughout the meal he stalked our water glasses as if he would rather pour the water in secrecy instead of just asking us. The not so funny part is that when we asked for the check it took 20 minutes. Literally. We then thought to speed up the process and come back inside so he did not have to walk outside. After walking by continuing taking new orders without finishing ours we began to get frustrated. It must have been God keeping us good because we were about to just skip out on the bill until the hostess asked us were we being helped and we said we are waiting for the bill. She then motioned to the waiter as he clearly forgot. The only purpose she served was to keep the waiter from getting our bill taken out of his check that week. Overall, good enough spot if just passing by and love the Rittenhouse area scenery but there are better pizza places if you are searching for that ultimate meal.
by Ava R. on The last time I had dinner at Waziema was April 2007 so last week I took my boyfriend their for dinner and beer. It was just awful and i was so embarrassed for telling my boyfriend it was good ethiopian food. The vege plate looked and tasted like it came out of a can and it was very overpriced! The bread was even disappointing. They should stick to being a dive bar. Plus my boyfriend was up at 3 am with an upset stomach.
by Margareta Autio on Never been for the food, but I love going for drinks. The bartenders are always friendly and pretty quick, though it can get very crowded on weekends. Cheap pitchers of beer. Always a good time here.
