| - I ventured in today (Friday May 15, 2015) with the plan to check this place out. Our family had a whole series of errands today so dinner prep would be very limited.
I picked up a good sampling of their products - pepperoni rolls, pizza bagels, lasagna (ready to warm), pesto sauce, tiramisu and cannoli's.
My overall evaluation - very, very bland for Italian food. Yes I have bought their bagels and rolls at the Westside market. However this is the first and last time I will ever venture into their other products. I would really recommend avoiding at all costs as the products are lacking much of anything - they are just bland.
I'd review the pizza bagels and pepperoni roll as acceptable. I've had the bagels at the market numerous times and this example stood true to past experiences. The pepperoni roll was acceptable. The pesto sauce had no nuts at all in it which left it very bland. The lasagna was fair - nothing wrong with it, just not much going on with it. The desserts were a major waste. The cannoli's were fresh filled so I had promise. But my wife was quick to point out how bad they were. I just took my bite and totally agreed. That fresh filling had no flavor to it - zero, zip, none. My daughter who is a tiramisu fan began her assessment as soon as I got it in the house - very bland. I tasted it and agreed.
Overall this experience set me back $42, if my memory is correct. $7 for 4 bagels, $9 for the lasagna, cannoli's were $2.50 each and the tiramisu was approx. $5. That probably means the pepperoni rolls were about $3 each and sauce about $5.
I must say - I will stop there for pizza bagels and I may buy a pepperoni roll but I never would venture beyond that. Total waste of money for what you receive.
