| - The only reason this place is getting 3 stars instead of 2, is because I have a history here. I started coming here in 2005 when I worked around the corner. I remember THEN I could add avocado to my house salad, and the calamari looked like baby squids instead of Os. I stopped coming here for a while, then started again in the last 3-4 years since I started dating a foodie and exploring more. One of the first things I notice was no avocado. Clearly it had been gone a while when the waitress said they've never had it. However I did find out about shrimp on a stone. A hot sizzling stone with shrimp and lemon. I fell in love. Then I fell harder when my waitress suggest I order it blackened/Cajun style. Almost every time I eat this, I hear the people around me say "oooh what is that she ordered?" A must at this restaurant that's what it is.
I've ordered numerous entrees: chicken picatta, Greek salad, chicken salad sandwich, their specialty sandwich, wings, fingers, raviolis. I guess I'm just over it. Other than the shrimp, NOTHING amazes me. And it's not always consistent. I've had my Greek salad be wonderful, I've had it underdressed and bland. I've had picatta that was zesty and moist, then had it over cooked and dry. I WANT to like this place but when it comes down to it, it isn't good authentic Italian.
Basically place your bets if you dine here. Will it be good? Maybe. Will it suck? Possibly.
I want to note, I've never had bad service. Today while dining, the waitress seen we were drooling and brought us house bread ASAP. If these guys would spend a little bit more time training their cooks to be the same, and spent a little more moola on ingredients- they'd have me as a regular no doubt!
