| - Ok so this place used to be called Giuseppe's. We had tried it a few times hoping that we would come across some entree that was actually edible. No luck. So, when Olivo's replaced it we were very excited to have another restaurant in the area. We figured new name meant new owners, new chef, and new food. WRONG!!!
We walked into the place and I do have to admit that they did change the dining room by adding a big tree in the middle and took out the TVs, which made for a nicer dining experience. We were the only people in the restaurant and it still took a while for the waitress to come by. We looked over the menu. It is a smaller menu than before, but still offers enough choices. Once the waitress finally came over, we ordered a pizza and penne vodka. My hubby tried to order a cup of soup, but was told that if he wanted the soup of the day that we would have to order a bowl. However, any of the other soups he could order in a cup. What?!!? When my hubby said that he would just skip the soup, the waitress very snotty said "Okaaaayyyyyy". She rarely returned to refill our glasses and just was very unfriendly.
I asked the waitress about the new owners. She said that the owners were still the same, but they brought on new partners and changed the name. So, that lead to my next question...."Is the chef and the food the same as Giuseppe's then?". The answer was yes, the chef and food was the same...ARGHHH!!!! They had done the one thing that we could never have imagined them doing...Changing the name, but kept the chef and food the same. We really just wanted to get up and leave, because we had been down this road before and we knew how it ended up. We pay a lot of money for bad food. But, we had already ordered and decided to give it a chance. They brought out bread with olive oil and balsemic which was good. Next, the salad came out....completely from a bag type of salad...Just lettuce and a coouple of tomatoes and cucumbers on the side. Very boring. I love penne vodka and usually order it at most Italian restaurants. This was unlike any I've ever had. It was barely edible and had no flavor at all. The pizza was just okay. It had a very thin cracker like crust. But, I think the real problem is the marinara sauce. It truly tastes like they just opened a can of Ragu sauce. It was in my pasta and on the pizza. So, I would definitely skip this place and go down the street a little bit to Buon Gusto. They have the best Italian food in the area.
