A $34.95 Fried Calamari Appetizer?
Frank Bruni goose-eggs Harry Cipriani, "a bizarre mix of indulgence and deprivation."

not only did he goose egg them, the gave them a POOR rating, I believe the first one he's ever dropped as NYT restaurant critic. Oh, happy day!

That was a most beautiful slam.

Actually seyo, Bruni's first Poor rating was given to Ninja, in what lives in my hall of fame, along with his review of Robert's at the Penthouse and his article about newfangled toilets (which probably has the highest euphemism to paragraph ratio of any article ever written in the New York Times) as one of my favorite Bruni articles.
On a side note, it seems that what it takes to get a poor instead of merely satisfactory is not merely bad food, but absurdly overpriced bad food. Ninja is notorious for only serving vile tasting menus starting at like $75 a person, except at least there you get ridiculous campy ninja entertainment.
