| - I don't get the hype. Overrated IMO. Lamanna's is a legend around here, and it's just OK. On the bakery side, I've tried Portuguese custard tarts (soggy crust), some sort of sugary little cake that looks like a beautiful peach but is bone dry, cream horn (OK but unremarkable). On the lunch side, lasagna was under seasoned, arancini likewise bland and too much rice/not enough filling, tomato sauce (which should be spectacular) lacks flavour, pasta with olive oil, spinach and sun dried tomatoes unremarkable. Cheese pizza was delicious but reeealllly salty. (Maybe that's where all the seasoning from the other dishes went?) People rave about this place and it's always busy. I'm going to try it again, but thus far, meh. Just average.
OK, just returned from second visit. The veal and spaghetti was quite good, and the macarons were delish! Lasagna was better with some extra sauce and the baguette was good too. Really depends what you have, I guess. Will have to try the Gelato next time.
