| - This place opened a few months ago within walking distance of my condo. I never ventured in until last night, when an out of town friend took me to dinner. It was Monday night, and they had a $5.99 spaghetti special that I didn't even know about.
The place was packed when we arrived, and the decor is quite nice. The ambience was good as well, with muted conversations all around us. We were seated quickly and the service was quite fast, especially considering the crowded nature of the place due to the special. We ordered an appetizer of special egg rolls ($7.50) filled with steak, chicken and ground beef. The steak one was the best, but all of them were great, and the spicy sauce for dipping was amazing. The little salad on the side was a nice touch as well, along with the standard roasted bread they bring for free, served with oil and vinegar. Yum...yum.
We both ordered the special and it was really quite good. The meatballs were pretty good and much better than Buca di Beppo's nasty meatballs. There was a little too much sauce, but at least it was slightly sweet and tasty. The pasta was cooked perfectly, and overall this is one of the better dining experiences I've had recently, much better than The Old Spaghetti Factory I went to Sunday night with some friends.
I give it an A- and will be back with more friends soon. Very soon, in fact.
