  • First, the good. The decor was very nice. That's about where the positives ended. First, I don't like television, and I don't want to have to watch it when I'm out dining. Fortunately, I was able to find a table where I could position myself so I wasn't looking at a TV - but only because my wife and I arrived before the lunch crowd. Had we arrived 15 minutes later, we might have been stuck looking at a TV. We were greeted by a waitress or hostess who was very pleasant, and let us choose our table. Our waitress was nice, and smiled, which is more than I can say for the rest of the staff. One gentleman, who might have been the manager, was slow to smile and gave the impression waiting on customers was a burden, rather than his reason for being there. I observed as he stood behind the host/hostess stand and watched a woman struggle to get her husband, who was in a wheelchair, through the door, followed by another gentleman with a walker. The manager didn't volunteer to hold the door or do anything else to help these folks enter the restaurant. I have a pet peeve about restaurants who give you a knife and fork (or forks) wrapped in a napkin and don't give you a spoon. What - spoons are too expensive? When I ordered hot tea, it came without a spoon so I had to stir it with my fork. My wife ordered an Arnold Palmer and had to use her knife to stir in the sugar. The table had a jar of shake-on parmesan cheese - not fresh. This is NOT good for an "Italian Eatery." Now for the food. We started with the Pistachio Mozzarella. It was a VERY generous serving - a huge plate filled with six servings. Sadly, we only ate two because it was bland. If it hadn't been for the generous amounts of balsamic reduction, it would have had no flavor at all. And I didn't see any olive oil as in the description. My wife ordered the spaghetti with meatballs. She asked if she could substitute capellini for the spaghetti, and was informed the restaurant does not have capellini. Again, NOT GOOD for an Italian Eatery. When it arrived, the marinara sauce was runny, and the meatballs were warm, not hot. It was about as "meh" as spaghetti can get. (Wait for it... NOT GOOD FOR AN ITALIAN EATERY.) I had the Chicken Limone Pasta. To their credit, the spiral pasta was cooked al dente. But it was described as roasted chicken breast, and the chicken didn't come whole - it was cubed. And the chicken was rubbery. I couldn't find the capers they said were in it. Again, it was "meh" and not particularly flavorful without being thoroughly dosed with the thawed-out frozen parmesan from the jar on the table. We won't be back to this "Italian Eatery."
