| - Okay...for the longest time I always thought this was an Asian/sushi restaurant. Umm I was definitely wrong haha! My coworkers and I came here today and we were seated right away (12:30pm), but the place was pretty packed.
We started with the ricotta bruschetta. It was served on a big loaf topped with Paesano, Ricotta, Speck Parmigiano, Mint and olive oil. It was really good, but I wish since we were sharing that it was served in individual pieces. Kind of weird to have bruschetta on one giant piece as it got messy cutting it up.
For lunch, most of us got the express lunch meal. For $8.99 you get a salad or soup, pasta (spaghetti with meatballs, carbonara, Penne vodka or penne with sausage) plus a piece of cheesecake. It was served bento box style and portion sizes were good. I actually got the chopped salmon salad. It was good but the olives and ham made it really salty. Not sure if I would get it again.
I would go back for lunch, especially for the lunch express deal. I wasn't blown away, but service was fast and the food was good. Plus, there aren't many places in Uptown where you can get lunch for less than $9.
