Some people expect too much from places. If you think you're going to Italy when you sit down at a restaurant in a mall, you've got another thing coming. If you want to put all of your expectations aside and just enjoy a pasta and salad combo for $11, then you're setting yourself up for a pretty damn good lunch. I had the Carbonara and I loved how they served it with an egg yolk on top. Sure it's a copy of a copy of a New York style Italian bistro, but I'm fine with that. For the record, I'd take this place over Olive Garden or Macaroni Grill any day. In fact, if this place was situated away from the Fashion Square, and had a different name, I think peoples misconceptions would change and they'd actually judge the food, not the fact that it's a restaurant in a mall.
