I really wanted to like this place but the food just wasn't that good. I guess I don't see why everyone thinks this place is good for Italian. We have been there twice now and both times were the same.
Let's start with service. This was the high point of the night. Our waiter was very nice and attentive.
Now the food. We started with a fried zucchini appetizer. The zucchini was nicely done. Crisp outside and dusted with cheese. I did like this dish.
The salad sounded promising. Greens, olives, cheese, onions, and sliced Genoa salami with a balsamic dressing. Sounded good but it had no taste whatsoever. They must have waved the vinegar over the dish and called it good. The salad just had no taste. Almost felt like I was eating mayo.
I ordered the baked rigatoni with sausage. The menu described it as being served with a garlic spiked red sauce. This sounded good and our waiter said that it was a marinara sauce. No creme. There was nothing garlicky about the sauce. I think they actually added butter to the dish. Not even close to a red sauve and it was just blah. No taste again. How can you advertise garlic spiked and have it taste like butter??
My wife ordered the pizza with some pasta on top of it with meatballs. It was ok. The meatballs had some taste to them (mostly salt) . The crust was nice.
I grew up speaking Italian and eating Italian food. This ain't it ; not even close. I am trying to figure out what people see in the food. To each their own I guess. Return factor is 10%
