| - What a nice surprise. This place was really cute and welcoming. It was busy when we arrived but we were seated right away. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. We had a Groupon so we were able to try several things on the menu. We had the white pizza as an appetizer, the pesto penne with chicken, the cannelloni with sausage, the tiramisu, and a cannoli (to go!).
The white pizza was just okay for me, not much flavor. When I said to my friend "it just tastes like bread and mild cheese", he said "that's why I like it." There was shredded basil on top, which I love, but I think the dish needs more garlic and/or salt. I only had one piece to save room for all the stuff to come.
Our pasta dishes were fantastic. My pesto penne was delicious, I could eat a bowl of it even without the chicken. The tomato sauce that comes with the cannelloni was really good. Even though I have a ton of love for the pesto, I am totally ordering a tomato sauce dish next time! The cannelloni was chock full of sausage. The portion size on the pesto pasta was huge, I ended up bringing half of it home. The pasta dishes were served with a loaf of warm, soft bread and oil/vinegar for dipping. The bread is really good...we finished ours, heh.
We shared the tiramisu for dessert even though I am not a fan of coffee flavor. It just looked so good. I ended up liking it, quite a bit. My friend was too full to have more than a bite or two, but he agreed it was good. We got a cannoli to go after the busboy said it's his favorite thing and they make 'em fresh. I had it for breakfast this morning...and it WAS good. Really good. The only thing I don't like is when places "dress" the cannoli in chocolate drizzle. I will ask them to leave that off next time.
The prices are very reasonable for the portions and we had a ton of leftovers. Overall it was a great experience and we plan to go back :)
