Saw the Chef on Channel 3 and everything he prepared for them looked amazing and so fresh. I was very excited to try it.
The service was great, we were seated quickly, our waitress was very friendly and helpful. We ordered an appetizer - the fried gnocchi. Great! Crispy on the outside and cheesy gooey on the inside. The caesar salads were ok, nothing special.
My husband ordered the veal manicotti and I ordered the eggplant rollatini. The manicotti filling was a little under-seasoned so it was just ok. The eggplant however, tasted like the freezer. Weird. Why would they freeze eggplant? I thought it didn't make sense so it must just be me. I ate the filling out of it and pushed the weird tasting eggplant to the side.
Then we decided to split the desert sampler. The Sfogliatelle was DELICIOUS! But the Rum Baba had that same gross freezer taste again. I asked the waitress and she confirmed that the desserts do come in frozen...blech. Don't waste your time on that one - (unless it is for the visuals because lets just say - it's a great looking dessert for a bachelorette party).
I don't get all the 5 star reviews for this place. We must've ordered the wrong things. After tax and tip we left $100 lighter and I really don't feel like it was worth it.
