My husband and I rarely go out to dinner at Italian restaurants because we are from Italian descent and eat it on a regular basis at home. But we thought let's give a local business a try. What a big mistake! After waiting for the hostess to discuss with a server where to seat us for what seemed to be an eternity (restaurant was about 95% empty) we were escorted to a back room to be seated. On the way to the back room, you walked across the carpet of the main dining area that was so filthy I wouldn't let my dog lay on it. I cannot emphasize enough how bad this carpet looked. It was black with dirt and grime and didn't look like it had ever been cleaned in at least 20 years! We were then seated at our table which looked like your hole in the wall Formica table and cloth chairs. I don't know how you feel but cloth chairs in the restaurant industry does not make sense to me. We would have left at this point but we were both so hungry we decided to stay. Then we were given the menu which was a huge shock! Now if you were going to order a pizza or calzone then I would consider the prices reasonable. However if I am going to spend $15 to $25 for an entree then I expect the cleanliness, decor and ambiance of the restaurant to be better than an hole in the wall eatery. I am trying to watch my weight and asked our waiter if they served any whole wheat pasta as a healthy alternative but it was not an option they provided. At this point diet to the wind, I decided that a calzone was the best option to eat here. I ordered the Melanzane Calzone which listed it had eggplant, prosciutto, red peppers and mozzarella. The dish also came with a garden salad of iceberg lettuce, onion, bell pepper, carrot and cucumber (basic salad) for $10.00 which is a reasonable price. When I received the Calzone the top of it was soaked with oil which immediately gave you a greasy impression of this Italian staple. The eggplant was cut into extremely thin flat squares and breaded and the prosciutto was cut in large squares that were hard to chew. Needless to say, I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone except the Board of Health for an inspection.
