I had passed by this place many times over the past couple of years and never really thought much of it (the exterior definitely leaves something to be desired), but the hubby and I were in need of some late night dinner eats so we decided to check Groupon. Gina's had a $30 for $15 Groupon - it was right around corner and had 4 stars on Yelp so we thought we'd give it a try. We were not disappointed. We arrived around 9:15pm (posted hours are until 10pm) and the place was empty. The host/server was extremely gracious, (even opened the door for us), I know many restaurant staff that cringe at the thought of a table right before closing but we felt extremely welcome. He also had a really thick accent (which I thought at one point might have been fake - but i think he was just a little nervous). He was super sweet and attentive. We shared a house salad (mixed greens, carrot, tomato, home-made Italian dressing) - simple yet the dressing was delicious. I had a glass of the only Cabernet I saw on the menu - it was also fantastic. There is a note inside the wine menu that states they serve wines that they've hand picked from mom & pop wineries - I like that! My hubby had the 4 cheese gnocchi and I had the fettucini alfredo (we're vegetarian but they had MANY meat, chicken & seafood options as well). The fettucini alfredo was done really well. Often this can be a bland dish but it really was seasoned perfectly. The star dish of the night was the 4 Cheese Gnocchi! TO...DIE....FOR! In fact next time we've decided we'll share that so we can save room and try their dessert! At the end of our meal we were presented w/ a coupon for 20% off our meals if we come back in 2 weeks - SCORE!
I am, yet again, grateful for both Groupon & Yelp pointing me in the right direction!
