My quest for delicious authentic italian food has hit another brick wall. Definitely no "gourmet" at Annies gourmet Italian. I will say I liked the atmosphere and decor inside, but that's about it. We were the only ones in the restaurant for dinner which should probably be a clue.
The waitress took a while to come over to us. We both ordered the rigatoni Which came with Caesar salad. We also received a basket of bread but we did not care for it. It seemed stale and just warmed up, not actually baked at the restaurant. The Caesar was pretty good with shaved Parmesan cheese and a couple croutons but nothing special.
As far as the rigatoni it was a huge disappointment. It was served In a bowl with just some cheese and sauce on top. The majority was dry rigatoni shells. Both of ours were also cold in the middle. Even after trying to mix the small amount of sauce and cheese all together it was still very dry with hardly any flavor. Annies is also way over priced for the quality of the food.
