Edit: 8/30/15 - just got my credit card bill for this restaurant. I had used a new credit card so couldn't put in my pin. Joe Badali's decided to add to their tip above and beyond what I gave them. I gave a 15% tip! I can't stand restaurants that do this. Lowering my review from 3 stars to 1. Congratulations Joe Badali's. You suck.
Original Review: Having been here a few years ago, I remember thinking it was mediocre and hadn't been back until this week, where I was reminded how mediocre it is.
I was here for lunch, where this restaurant has a fixed price menu (outside of Summer/Winterlicious). I tried this and had a Cesar salad which had nice and creamy dressing, the pappardelle alfredo which was pretty bland, and then a scoop of gelato. The gelato was vanilla and pretty good, however I wasn't allowed to choose what flavour I wanted. Is vanilla the only flavour they have? Overall, a pretty blase meal.
Service was ok, nothing special. I like the design of this restaurant though, it's pretty cool, if you don't mind the subway rumbling below your feet every few minutes.
