| - My parents have eaten here many times in the past and I have been here once before years ago, but I stopped eating pasta in 2013 and so I haven't been to an Italian restaurant since then (to avoid temptation!) However, it was New Years Eve and I wanted a big fat bowl of carbs before we went to celebrate the end of 2015 and Bobby and I pass this place multiple times a week. He has never been.
They could take our reservation the day of NYE at 9pm. We were seated promptly and it wasn't as cramped as I had remembered/expected although most other tables were full. Our server was polite, but not over the top.
I ordered their pinot noir that arrived in a very small wine glass and Bobby ordered a captain and coke that also came in a small juice-like glass. We started with the bruschetta and it was truly to die for. It stole the show. We were offered the option of tomato or roasted red pepper bruschetta and we opted for both! It was ready promptly and was on a HUGE plate. Enough to feed 4-5 people as an appetizer.......so Bobby and I finished it all...by ourselves. The bread was crusty and perfectly fluffy soft in the middle with amazing garlic pesto and the tomato and red peppers had so much flavor. I could have eaten it for my meal!
Next, they brought out the wedding soup which was great with a little salt and parmesan cheese and it was followed by a side salad. Almost all meals include the soup and salad. The salad was your basic garden salad, but fresh nonetheless. I ordered their house Italian dressing which was PERFECT and Bobby ordered ranch that he thought may have been from a packet. I thought maybe they use prepackaged dressings as well when looking at the menu. This would be my only disappointment with the place if they did!
I ordered the chicken Neptune (chicken, scallops, shrimp in a marsala sauce over linguine) and Bobby ordered their seafood pasta (lobster, shrimp, scallops over linguine in a white or red sauce - he chose white). Mine was very good and flavorful and he was pleased with his as well. It was only a few bites before we had to send them to box it up.
Portion sizes are very generous and our waitress was attentive. Our final bill came to around $50 which isn't bad for two alcoholic drinks, a huge appetizer, plus soups, salads and entrees for the both of us! Our bellies were full and happy to end 2015 and full and happy again to start the new year after eating our leftovers for lunch the next day!
