| - Decided to eat here because the time we came for just drinks, the food looked good. Extensive martini list- full of fruity choices if you're into that. Me, not so much. I was more interested in trying the food.
We ordered stuffed banana peppers, calamari, and 2 pizzas to share. Pizzas were crab meat and marguerita. Stuffed banana peppers were good, but nothing exciting to note. Nice and spicy, for sure. The calamari was just ok as well. Kind of overcooked.
The pizzas were majorly disappointing. Maybe I was expecting too much? Kind of tastes like something I could easily make at home. Nothing special about it. The marguerita pizza was, in my opinion, a major fail. This classic pizza was ruined with beefsteak, flavorless tomatoes and some sort of cheap mozzarella. Usually these are supposed to have a really good buffalo mozzarella. On top of that, the basil was cooked into it...so it came out to us a brownish color, not fresh and green.
So the bottom line is, food is decent, but nothing out of this world and nothing to rave about. It's a nice restaurant with beautiful decor and nice atmosphere. Service is friendly also, so I give it one star just for that.
Oh and P.S. I happened to overhear the table next to us complaining to the waitress about their flourless cake being very dry. One of the ladies at the table was asking if these came frozen, and if the waitress herself has tried this cake. Of course, the waitress said that the cake is made fresh in the restaurant.
