This place is soooo overrated. American Italian food really isn't too tough to master and just the use of salt would dramatically improve this place. Server was busy hence slow but good. Recommended the ciopinno which was awful. I ordered the pasta with Italian sausage. The sausage was mediocre and tasted like it was from a really cheap grocery store. The tomato sauce was watery, bland, and tasted like it was heated in a dirty pan shared with the cioppino. Pasta was overcooked and unsalted. Stuffed artichoke was lame, escargot was okay, calamari was awful...not fried which is okay but no seasoning at all. I don't know what the fuss is about. Strip prices for boyardee....NO THANKS!
