| - They were playing songs from the 70s, like: my woman from tokyo. I hadn't heard that one in ages. Took me back to pizza joints from my youth.
Got the stuffed artichoke app, but they didn't take the thistle out. You know, that makes for an interesting mouthful of hair like spines.
The homemade cavetelli (similar to gnocci) was a hearty pasta choice. It is thick like a dumpling, so be prepared (if you're not familiar with that pasta type). The vodka sauce was flavorful.
After a few bites, it was obvious that the braciole with mostaccioli was a good choice. However, after several more bites, it became evident that the braciole was overcooked.
The sausage with peppers and potatoes was filling. The sausage was a bit overcooked, and the peppers and potatoes needed more seasoning.
We topped it off with a piece of their homemade tiramisu, which tasted excellent, but would have been better with more ladyfinger (and a homemade chocolate sauce, as opposed to Hershey's syrup).
