| - The service was very slow, but friendly. The decor was outdated. They were running a prix fixe menu: One appetizer, one entree, on desert for $20. We didn't like the options on the prix fixe so we went for the regular menu.
Let me start by saying the bread bowl was the best part of the meal. Hot, fresh parmesan rolls, crispy parmesan cracker and a nice crusty bread. The fried calamari was attractively presented and the sauce it was served with (on the side) was tasty. However, it was a bit greasy, chewier than it should have been, and the tentacle sections were just fried blobs. My wife had the shrimp scampi on pasta and I had the Rigatoni Alfredo with grilled chicken. The size of both entree were "Vegas Sized". Ridiculously Ginormous. The shrimp was very large; probably the extra-large or jumbo size. My wife said they were a bit over-cooked, but not badly over-cooked. Her main problem was that there was so much lemon in the sauce that it overpowered everything else. My rigatoni was well cooked, but the sauce had a taste of flour. The "grilled chicken" was a joke; it was about 2 - 3 oz, and didn't taste grilled. When you give someone a vat of pasta with a couple of strips of chicken buried in it it looks sad. One of us had one glass of wine, one of us had iced tea. Total bill $100.
