Ok, so we finally got to Annies. First of all glad they are moving because location location location sucks. they are moving to Smiths center at green valley and 215 in 3 weeks. I like the ambiance here. its dark,the Italian and soft rock was great. both servers were great and very enthusiastic. they are keeping their dog friendly patio but its gonna be private now.
The Food,
bread was good but not great. had the mushrooms and scampi meatballs and scampi for apps. meatballs and mushroom came together thus a little less sauce but fortunately lots of sauce in shrimps. Did want to doc meatballs with a little salt and parm but over all 4 stars.
Caesar salad got 5 stars. great.
wife had eggplant rigatoni....literally must be 5 lbs. biggest single serv of pasta I have eve seen. my lasagna was about 3 lbs. both were home made to order but were just missing a little something to put over top but cant put my finger on it. so both 4of5 stars.
cannoli's were a little too crisp and exploded when you bit into. could use a bit more filling also.
seems like everything is around $15 for apps and mains plus or minus 3 bucks.
We will definitely return to new locale but not stop visiting carrabas and ventanos. As far a the 3 venues Annies comes in 3rd only because ventano has the views.
wine list is small but good but a little pricey, bottle prices are the bargain. bought J lohr at lee's for $12 on tues. Annies wants $44.
all things considered it was romantic, wife and I did talk, not argue. Food was great and we will return and we sincerely hope the new location helps them to next level without losing what they have now.
Good luck Annie and we shall see you soon.
