2 adults and a teenager
Atmosphere - 4 stars
Food - 2 stars
Service - 1 star
Background - After a long day of driving from Reno we wanted Italian close to our hotel.
Atmosphere - The best thing going with this place. Lofting ceilings with great colors covering the walls make for a warm inviting place.
Food
Appetizer - Free bread came in a small basket, it contained three triangular cracker thin bread slices covered in seasoning and a chuck of soft bread. The cracker bread was seasoned, looked, and tasted like pizza. They could have offered to bring more bread when it was gone. If I was eating some pasta as my meal I would have liked it to arrive without me begging.
Main Course - They did not have any stuffed pasta that I was interested in. So I went with the sliced steak salad. The steak was over peppered and the medallion pieces needed to be cut. The lettuce was nothing special, mostly iceberg chopped into small squares. The highlight of the meal was the candied pecans. This comment you could put under service or here, the menu indicates that steak will be cooked to order. The waiter never asked and I forgot as it took a long time to place our meal order with him.
Dessert - skipped it
Service - This was really lacking. The floor was simply nasty. Noodles all over the floor next to wear I sat. As we sat there I noticed a Gatorade bottle on the floor next to me after the lady at the next table over placed in on the floor before they left. The busy boy must have not noticed it as he kicked it under the table. I typically only drink water with my meal now, and when you fill a 12 ounce glass completely with ice, you better be coming back with more water frequently. But not the case here, only once was my water refilled, placing the glass at the edge of the table should all I have to do. As we were finishing up our meal, a different bus boy took care of the other table next to us. The table was covered in a table cloth. When he placed the new one on the table it was like he was making a bed up and down with cloth. I know it was a hot night but I really do not need a table cloth fan next to me.
