| - Well I have been waiting for this place to open for a long time; well over a year since their signs went up. Finally got there tonight, and I have mixed feelings on it.
The interior is nice, very dim and dark with fake candles throughout. However the room we were in kept having flickering issues on the fake chandelier which was a bit annoying. Sinatra playing loudly on the speakers an appropriate choice no doubt for the theme of the resto.
Service was good, Kirk the server was affable, friendly and prompt.
Wine by the glass was pleasantly affordable, multiple choices at $7 per glass
Food is where I had to take some points away. Salads and appetizers are way too expensive IMO. No salad was under $10 with many several dollars more. No homemade caesar salad on the menu is a borderline sin for a pizza place. Appetizers suffer the same pitfall, all $12 or more.
Our grilled octopus app was a very small portion for the price, and a bit fishy tasting. Definitely not worth the price; see attached photos
Margherita pizza, I consider myself well versed in them. I order them EVERYWHERE I go, when offered. The one at Goodfellas had way too thick of a crust near the edges, which meant the thinner parts of the pizza were bitter with charring. The cheese was great, sauce was good but sparse.
Wife's Taglietele al Funghi was delicious but very heavy. Very small portion again, but rich. Lots of delicious mushroom flavour. Pasta nicely cooked, al dente.
Long story short : some hits, some misses with the food. Most items strike me as overpriced for the portions. Affordable wine a big saving grace
