| - My friend and I got the calzone, the gnocchi, and a couple slices of pizza to try. The calzone was not bad, but nothing stood out except the dough was a little sweet, which we did not care for since every other calzone I have ever had was savory. The pizza came on focaccia, which was not terrible but I am not a fan of sicilian style.
The biggest letdown was the Gnocchi. They claim their pastas are made fresh, but after growing up in New York and living in Italy for four years I can say shame on them. Making gnocchi can be a pain and time consuming, so I was excited for some home made, it has been awhile. Imagine my surprise when I taste the same stuff I buy in the store. It was probably the Gia Russa brand you can purchase at the wal mart behind it, maybe de cecco, but it was not fresh. Also the sauce was too thick and had too much flour in it, giving it a gluey texture.
The article in the Fort Mill times was the whole reason we went, I remember the owner saying in it that "he speaks flour". A little too much flour if you ask me. There are plenty of other places to spend your money, take a pass.
