Maybe I had very high expectations before coming here because of all the stellar reviews this place had. The service was amazing and the server and host were very friendly but the food was subpar. I got the baked chicken pasta and I felt a bit disappointed. When it was served, the dish was already lukewarm and the cheese was hardening. The sauce itself, I could already tell was very heavy also had the preserved red bell peppers just made the dish even more overwhelming. I thought they would've used fresh bell peppers to pair better with the creamy sauce. The chicken breast was definitely over cooked and did not have any juice in there at all. I also did not expect an Italian restaurant to use egg-less pasta.
Normally when I decide to eat at a restaurant, I expect to have dishes that I can't make at home. I could've easily made the same dish at home at a lower price with better paired ingredients. Although I was disappointed by the food, I decided to give an extra star because of the wonderful staff.
