I gave three stars due to the good / bad parts of dinner. We started out with the soup which was excellent. For my meal I had eggplant parmigiana which was fantastic and a large portion. I loved that they peel the eggplant so it does not have the skin on. It was cooked perfectly. Unfortunately my husbands meal was not as good. He had the clams in marinara sauce which had good flavor but also had sand and broken shells in it. He kept trying to eat from another portion of the plate but the results were the same. We mentioned it to the waiter even giving him a piece of shell. The waiter said he had never seen that before and would show the cook. Nothing more was ever said or done about my husbands meal which is why the three stars. It was like it was brushed off and never happened. Don't order clams if you decide to try this restaurant.
