| - I'm lazy. I'm lazy and I like wine. What I really like is to be lazy on patios that I don't have to clean up while I drink wine. Therefore, I have found a new happy place.
Ironically, we didn't sit on the outside patio as we had my daughter with us and the patio is 21 and over. I was bummed out but am sure the euphoria that will be induced by lounging with wine sans kids anywhere near me at a future time will make it all better.
Our waitress was adorable and explained that she can take our order with her iPhone and that, no, she wasn't texting. Cool technology, people. We ordered the fried mozzarella after she explained it wasn't like lame fried pieces of string cheese. Oh, she steered us down a happy path. The mozzarella is fresh house made and it was wrapped in thin pizza dough and fried. If I could married it, I would have. The marinara dipping sauce was spicy and tasty. My kid hogged all the cheesy goodness. Damn her.
Next, the three of us shared the small fettuccine with meat sauce with a few meatballs thrown in for good measure. Didn't feel like pizza but that looked REALLY good. The pasta was a little over cooked. More mushy than al dente. That's why they only get four stars. The sauce was yummy and the meatballs were freaking awesome. They had great flavor and held together really well. Personally, I would have dunked them in sauce and then served them. Just serving them baked, no sauce, made them seem dry.
Boyfriend and I had a glass of Pinot each and the bill came to $40, and we had a $10 off coupon. Pretty sweet. Perfect amount of food. We'll definitely be back. The staff is lovely and so is the atmosphere. Looking forward to some unpretentious wine patio lounging.
