| - came here for dinner with a large group expecting nothing, but i left feeling very full and very happy with everything.
what i ate:
- mozzarella caprese (app): delicious caprese. fresh ingredients. very tasty.
- pomodoro bruschetta (app): very fresh and garlicy on top of tasty bread. while very good, i was nervous about eating more than one and getting too full
- garlic bread: soooo garlicy and buttery and delicious. i was starving when i got to the restaurant so i think i inhaled about 1/3 of the basket. left my mouth super yummy and garlicy. but beware this bread basket! the more you eat the less room you'll have for other delectable treats
- antipasto salad: i know this is a salad, but dang, it's a filler. plenty of cheese, ham, salami, olives. very tasty italian dressing
- penne w/vodka sauce: suprise dish of the night! that vodka sauce is UH MAY ZZING! so addicting. the leftovers were pretty good the next day too
- chicken parmigianai: very well cooked. not too heavily breaded. the chicken was still moist and juicy
- pork tenderloin alla siciliana w/arugula salad, garlic red potatoes: the pork was good, but it got kicked up two notches when paired with the spicy, citrusy arugula salad. the garlic potatoes were so perfectly roasted, though i wonder, did they flash fry these suckers cause they were so crispy and addicted. probably due to being drowned in oil? shh, it's okay, just keep eating them.
- tiramisu: dessert to get! so tasty and perfect. not too soggy, not too cream. this was soooo good. i wish i had more room in my stomach to keep eating
- cannoli: tasty, but id rather have more of the tiramisu
- house sangria red and white: omg, BOTH were so tasty. not too heavy on the wine, not too sweet. just a perfect pairing. (yelp check in FREEBIE: buy one sangria or house wine, get one FREE!) the bartenders were pretty annoyed that we all used the app to get the freebie, but no shame. the sangria is great! the white one was much more refreshing, but i preferred the slightly richer red wine
pros:
- service: we had a very large party, but the server was great. he tried to keep on top of things as much as possible, despite having to juggle so many of us
- FOOD: everything!!!! i ate was so tasty and delicious
- live music: when we went on a friday night there was live music in the bar dining area. i cant really remember what kind of music they played, but it was relaxing and nice... but, due to the loud music, it may be difficult to have a conversation with your date if youre sitting in the bar dining area
- prices: very very reasonable for all the food offered
cons:
- only 1 bathroom for each sex. i was there for a few hours, and every time i went to the restroom there seemed to be a wait.
would i come again? sure!
