| - When I moved to this area, I was excited to see an Italian place nearby (considering I am half Italian). Although nothing can compare to the cuisine I or my mother make, I wanted to try this place out because of the location.
When I went to this restaurant it was during the week, probably around 7 pm. The ambiance is nice, basic, but still appealing. The restaurant was fairly full, but it seemed like the dinner crowd had already came and left.
First, drinks! The waitress had no idea about the beers they had on selection (perhaps that can be equated with her young and under 21 age). I was disappointed immediately with this. She did not know all of the beers listed and could not provide an explanation as to flavors, etc.
Next, food. I was again disappointed with the menu. The food looked and sounded good, but the pricing just did not match (we even had a coupon!). My friend decided to try the chicken pesto pasta, which looked good, but was overly priced. My fiance and I tried the pizza, although I cannot specifically remember what flavor (BBQ chicken maybe?). The quality was ehhhh, and definitely over priced.
On to the last, desert. BWAHAHAHAHA. Well, they had an amazing looking desert tray that they brought around to the tables. Don't be fooled! I ordered the spumoni ice cream and it was harder than a damn diamond. I could NOT cut it with my fork or spoon! WTH?! I could imagine myself being like Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman" when she is pushing so hard to open the shell and it flies across the room. The same thing almost happened to me when I tried to break off a piece of the ice cream.
Anyhow, I will probably not go back to this establishment. The food was mediocre and definitely not up to my standards for price versus quality.
SIDE NOTE: The offer coupons in the mail quite frequently. Be forewarned as one will offer BOGO, and the other is only 20% off. They send them out in two different advertising mailers...
