| - The good: The restaurant is still pretty new and looks fantastic. They have a dedicated takeout area, so you don't get that awkward "go to the bar" issue with the hostess and bar tender. Their chicken parm and baked spaghetti are good, as are their meatballs and pizza. Be warned that the pizza is VERY heavy, and not the lighter, fluffy/chewy fare found at Sauce, North, or Federal. I'd put it more along the lines of Pat's Sicilian, Uno's, or similar "deep dish" or "pan" pizzas that are fully loaded up with sauce, cheese, and toppings.
The bad: They removed their gigantic, delicious, affordable, perfectly toasted chicken parm sandwich. That alone is taking them from 4 to 3 stars. If you're looking for something lighter here, you really have very few options.
The ugly: The golden bbq wings were the most disgusting chicken I've ever tasted in my entire life. I wish the description said they were basically mustard and nothing else. Thankfully the server swapped them out for an order of meatballs. The seafood pasta was also disappointing, with the vodka sauce being pretty weak and the noodles all sticking together in a giant clump.
I've also received good service here. The chocolate chip cookies sold at the market/takeout area are pretty good, but a little bit too close to well-baked (not chewy/soft) Nestle Tollhouse for me to buy them for myself.
Oh, and the parking situation is FANTASTIC due to them sharing Bashas' huge lot!
