| - So overall, we had a lovely experience at this location last evening. The guest service was absolutely the most wonderful I've had in quite some time! Before your meal, they serve a basket full of breadsticks which are pretty tasty. For our appetizer, we had chose the "create a sampler Italiano" option in which we picked calamari, fried mozzarella, and pork ravioli. The calamari was tender, lightly breaded, and fried served with both a parmesan and marinara sauce. The fried mozzarella was absolutely delicious and the pork ravioli was pretty decent.
Before the entrée, they give you the choice between a soup or salad. I ordered a Caesar salad and my husband ordered the Zuppa Toscana which is a type of creamy potato soup served with greens. The soup was absolutely spectacular! Unfortunately, quite a few pieces of my romaine lettuce in the Caesar salad were mushy and overdressed.
My husband ordered the Cheese Ravioli and enjoyed it. For my dish, I ordered the grilled sausage and peppers Rustica. The consistency was perfect...the penne was al dente, peppers were tender, and the Italian sausage was flavorful. However, I felt that they went slightly shy on seasoning and spices which I adjusted with table salt (and I don't really do this at a restaurant too often.)
The waiter was absolutely delightful and packed up our food for us. The portions are quite generous so you will most likely find yourself taking home leftovers. He generously also packed some wonderful mint chocolate candies. Overall, we had a nice experience.
