| - I came here with a couple of friends before the Lady Gaga concert. The restaurant is huge, so it was one of very few that had reservations open near the ACC when I was making the reservation the night before the concert. I arrived with one friend and told them I had a reservation. They sat us in the back dining area, which was much quieter than the front of the house which had a large bar and a lot of people there for after work drinks, so it's very noisy.
$60 + tip for a salad, pasta and a drink. Not a bad price....if the food had any flavour. The caprese salad literally tasted like nothing. I don't know how else to describe it. It was so bland. The rigatoni bolognese wasn't too bad. You get a decent size portion, and I was certainly full after my meal. For the price I would have hoped for homemade pasta, which this definitely wasn't. White sangria was okay. It tasted more like juice than a wine drink.
Although I wouldn't choose to come here for a nice date, this place serves a purpose: it's great for tourists, it's great for large groups, it's nearby union and the ACC if you're checking out a show, and takes reservations. Because it's a tourist trap, it's definitely overpriced IMO, but if I wanted to make a reso to have dinner before another event at the ACC I would consider coming here again.
