| - My wife and I went with some friends here last night based on another friend's recommendation. The first thing you notice, before you even get inside, is how out-of-the-way and obscured the place is in its back-of-the-very-back-of-the-lot shopping center. You really do have to want to find it.
The service was quick, the atmosphere was cozy, and our waiter (Regis) was very nice. The food was good, but not great. We ordered some rice balls with marinara sauce that were...good. Since rice isn't exactly the boldest tasting food, the sauce needed to stand out. It was - say it with me - good. Not nearly flavorful enough. I then ordered penne with hot sausage fra diavolo. The pasta was made from scratch, very nice, but it was a bit too heavy for my liking. The hot sausage was on the bland side, and the sauce, while (again) good, was too broth-like.
A pleasant experience, and I wish them well, but unless the food improves it won't be a place I go to very often.
