We decided to have dinner on a Friday evening. It was pretty busy but then again it was Friday evening and coupled with the GroupOn fervor it does brings people in. They do have a Happy Hour from 5 to 7 and live music certain days of the week, but there is separate section devoted to the Happy Hour crowd.
We ordered the Melenzana Arrivederci (Rolled Eggplant filled with spinach & four cheese, served with tomato sauce and pasta). The eggplant was ok but lacked flavor and the pasta was very inferior with the tomato sauce that was meh.... Also at $16, I would expect alot better. We also ordered the Penne Alla Pepe e Nero, which was Penne in a lemon black pepper cream sauce with sausage, chicken and eggplant. Pretty big portion but at $18 it was a fair price. However, the sauce lacked a fresh lemon flavor and seemed more like a mustard in it for some reason or might have been overpowered with the pepper. I understand all the pasta and sauce is made in house but the quality seemed like out of a box.
For dessert we ordered the cheese cake which was nothing great to write about either.
Giving it two starts because the service was good and so was our server, otherwise it deserves only a single star.
Even with a GroupOn, there are many good choices around for good Italian Food and will not return.
