The best thing about this place is the ambiance. It's a large restaurant with lots of open space and seating. The tables are beautiful and long and adorned with rosemary or basil plants that you can pick off and add to your entree.
It's a card style ordering model and you walk up to each area and order your food. You scan a card and pay at the end. Whatever is accrued on the card will be paid when you're done.
I like spicy, so I went with the arabiatta sauce. They spice it with JALAPEÑOS! That's...different. I mean, I like jalapeños, but that seemed like anything BUT Italian. It was just okay and not as spicy as I would've liked.
The bruschetta was okay, but the pesto was better. It was probably the best flavor out of everything we ordered.
I couldn't resist a balsamic salad and I consider myself kind of a connoisseur, but it tasted like bottled Kraft dressing! It was thick and syrupy, almost like corn syrup was in it. It was also too sweet.
The tables had chili oil, balsamic and EVOO, but no Parmesan. I would've loved that to dip my bread into.
The lasagna was also just okay. The theme of our visit was just... OKAY.
Other than the awesome ability to host a big group of friends and have it be nice-casual without the awkwardness of bill-splitting, this place gets a pass in my book.
