| - I feel odd leaving a 2 star review when so many people really love this place.
So ordered 2 entrees- the gnocchi in a vodka cream sauce and the penne with veal ragu. So I'm wondering what went wrong here....the gnocchi was just plain tasting, no pizzaz to the sauce, no hint of any real flavors except tomato sauce that seemed watered down. It was good but for $16 or $17 dollars I sort of expected above average.
Now the veal penne- pasta was cooked perfectly. And it stops there....the sauce was not enough to really cover or be spread around all the noodles and again, where was that veal taste with hints or spice, tomatoes etc? Missing like the gnocchi. Had to ask for a side of Parmesan since the pasta was lacking even a good sprinkling of cheese.
Bread was slightly cold, not warm so great, can it get more annoying.....
So at that point I thought a homemade piece of tiramisu would do the trick. Okay at this point I said "you have to be "bleeping" kidding me." I would say it was an order of whipped cream with some lady fingers included. Literally 65% whipped cream that was actually good, won't take that away from them, but the dessert isn't a moose, it's lady fingers. Tasted the mascarpone cheese, but no taste of coffee liquor, or anything but mascarpone whipped cream.
So disappointed and even more disappointed it costs over $50.00 (had 2 glasses of wine, in small glasses) what tastes slightly better than the Olive Gardens.
And don't charge $7.00 for whipped cream!!!!
