| - I've passed this restaurant many times over the last couple of years while driving to see my youngest son who went to school in Johnstown. I never stopped because I knew that the first thing I would be doing in Johnstown was to take my son out to eat. Finally, tonight, on our way back from a business trip we stopped. We were starving.
The bar was pretty full but on the restaurant side there were only two tables that had diners. That made me a bit worried.
We were given menus and our drink orders were taken. They scored big points for having a craft beer that my husband had not tried. The menu was extensive and I was starving so I asked the waitress for suggestions. I took her advice and ordered the Pappardelle and Fillet Meatballs. I ordered a house salad to go with it. My husband ordered the Cheeseboard and a Grilled Beet salad.
Our salads came first. My husband LOVED the beet salad. It had pieces of fresh orange as well as a basalmic dressing. I think he would have licked the bowl if I would have let him. My house salad had no iceberg lettuce in sight. Instead it had a Spring mix with tomatoes, purple onions, cucumbers, and some freshly made croutons. The Bleu cheese dressing was house made and delicious. We were served warm bread with a plate of seasonings and olive oil to dip the bread in.
Once we finished our salads our enters came. Holy Cow was mine delicious! The meatball was full of flavor, the pasta cooked perfectly, and the sauce made you want to slap your mama. (I'm from the south and that's a huge compliment). To put the dish over the top was the pieces of goat cheese that were sprinkled over it. The perfect bite was a little bit if each. I barely made it through half my dish before I was full. Hooray for doggy bags!
My husband's Cheese Board came with Prosciutto, Sopressata, Kalamata olives, four or five cheeses, a honey Dijon dipping sauce and sesame crackers. He even took home a doggy bag.
I'm so glad that I finally had the chance to eat here. I found out that they have a location in Canonsburg. I'll be trying that location SOON!
