| - So....what do you say when a highly rated place let's you down?? It was okay....
When a meal rocks my world, I usually want to lick the bowl clean, yes, like a dog. I did not, sadly, feel that way about this place. It IS BYOB but the catch is it's $4 PER glass. Yep, that's right, not per table my friend. Keep that in mind.
I got the greens and beans on recommendation from many Yelpers on here. Maybe I just don't have the taste for it, but I thought it was weird, watery and....not good. I also thought it was going to be green beans and it was kidney beans and spinach that tasted like a warm Caesar salad. No thanks....
I ordered the Penne Vodka, which is my fav meal to order at Italian restaurants. I also like to add a meatball on if it's homemade. It was, in fact, confirmed to be homemade so I was all over it! The meatball itself was delicious. I love a bread-y meatball. You know the type. Soft and packed with flavor. It was the winner of the night. The vodka sauce was good, but I wanted way more. Now I have to preface this by saying I'm a total sauce-aholic. I love me a good amount of sauce, this didn't even come close. Then I looked over at Serena R's plate, and her ravioli (which I thought was the same) was SWIMMING in it! So I stole some of hers....
Would I come back? If someone really wanted to. But I have a hunch there's way better Italian places to dine at in the Burgh...so now I'm on the hunt! I gotta connect with my roots, ya' know?
