| - My family and I have dined here for several years and the food has definitely fallen to sub par (except the pizza.) Rotelli's is a family gathering place for us as it is centrally located , so we end up there for birthdays.
Went there again last night for a birthday and, as usual, the pasta was not good at all. I had the baked ziti and only nibbled on it. The sauce was SO bland. I've also had the ravioli and linguine with clam sauce. Yuck!! No taste at all. My 16 year old son, who will eat anything, stopped halfway through his Chicken Parm and said he couldn't eat anymore because the sauce tasted terrible. If the restaurant hadn't been packed, we would have sent the two dishes back.
When this restaurant first opened, we were enthusiastic. The food was very good and we had reason to go. It's as if they sold their Italian soul in order to have a full house every night. It's my wish that the owners would start paying attention to their Italian pasta dishes and get the taste back. The garlic knots are definitely the best thing about this restaurant. And the pizza hasn't suffered either.
I've given Rotelli's chance after chance, and they've failed every time. It's amazing that not one pasta dish tasted good.
Unfortunately, I'm sure I will go back. If it's another family members birthday, we end up at Rotelli's. When it's one of my immediate family members birthday, we go somewhere else. There are far better Italian eateries in the area.
Don't boycott this place if you love garlic knots and pizza. They are very good. Just stay away from the tasteless and expensive pasta dishes. THEY SUCK!!
