| - In short: Very disappointed.
Long version: My very Italian fiancée and I were super excited to try this new spot. I'm a huge fan of the surrounding restaurants so I was expecting something at least as good. The decor itself was to my taste, and I enjoyed the set-up, minus the uncomfortable bench seating and obnoxious techno music blaring. My fiancée ordered the classic meatballs with classic sauce, I ordered a half cucumber and tomato (the name of it) salad, and for our meal we got a half sized pizza to share.
The good: the pizza was massive.
The bad: everything else.
My salad was minuscule, and Chili's or Applebee's puts more effort into their presentation and flavor profiles. This salad was just very sad. Flavorless, bland, dismal amount of dressing. His meatballs as he describes were "dry, overcooked, and tasted like the ones you get at Subway." The pizza was okay, but by the time we got that, we obviously weren't expecting anything great. I can't complain about the service, but I'm the type to not complain, period. We payed our tab, tipped 20%, and left. Very high chance we won't ever return.
It's a shame, I was very hopeful when I saw the menu.
