| - A large group of us came in on a whim hoping the could accommodate us for Saturday night dinner with kids at 515pm. They were able to with the caveat we could give them their table back by 7pm. So, while we did feel like we were being rushed to order etc, to be fair, they did mention that in the beginning.
The atmosphere was lovely and the service was ok, although they kept asking to take our plates away before we finished eating them (we get they need the table back, but the food should have arrived much sooner then!)
The Good: pizzas were amazing. Crispy, but softer in the middle, thin and light. The kids loved them. It was 13.50 for a kids pizza, but the size was fair. The grilled calamari was cooked and seasoned to perfection. My husband enjoyed his sausage penne. Again the price was high for pasta, the portion was big enough for him to take some home for a late night snack.The truffle gnocchi was very tasty and the Fresh bread basket was also a crowd pleaser.
The Not so Great: The muscles in my seafood linguini had sand. I hate that. They didn't soak them in salt water long enough, so while the shrimp and sauce was alright, that really ruined the meal for me and I left most of the muscles on the plate. Waste. My friend had the seafood linguini special (not the tomatoe sauce one) but it was very bland. She also left most of the pasta on her plate.
We finished our meals as promised by 645 which didn't leave much time for dessert...so no reports there.
All in all, nice place. 3.5 stars. Pricey for pasta. And with so many other well rated Italian places in the area, we'll be giving the others a try before considering coming back.
