while this chain had never made an impression on me before (i.e. I completely forgot i'd been before), I was rather surprised this time at the number of options available and caliber of food. or, perhaps I was just famished at everything smelled AMAZING.
the FAZOOLI'S CAESER ($8) came suuuper spicy. I didn't even need to ask for it that way! it almost too intrusive as a drink with my meal, and the pickled green bean was weird as a garnish. the ice melted way too quickly, and ended up turning my drink way too watery. bleh!
the SHORT RIB RAVIOLI ($17.88) came with about 5 or 6 pieces but ended up being rather filling. there was a good flavor, but the meat was awkwardly pulverized. Not bad, but I think the concept it sounds a lot better than was executed.
the pizza looked amazing and the osso bucco appetizer smelled bomb.
we had a large group of 20+ people (how annoying, haha) and for our table of about 8, they managed to get the bills all correct, though I think our other tables experienced some mix ups. service is as expected, I would say for such a large group.
