Coming from an Italian New Yorker, I'm being really nice by giving this place two stars.
Pros: Pictures of family in restaurant made it feel like a warm East Coast vibe, our server was nice and the salad was good.
Cons: bread (it wasn't even good Italian bread; it was like a hard wheat roll), sauce/food. We ordered the mushrooms for an appetizer, eggplant parmigiana and rigatoni Roberta for dinner. The mushrooms were a little dry. In the eggplant parmigiana and rigatoni Roberta there was this spice we couldn't identify. It's like it didn't belong there at all! An example would be like putting curry in sauce (an Indian spice in Italian food)! It was so foreign and threw the taste completely off. My mom didn't even eat her meal. We felt bad, so asked for a box/take it to go and as soon as we left threw it in a garbage outside. True story.
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place and we won't be back.
