| - I went here for lunch with my boyfriend on a Friday afternoon. This location is a busy place at lunchtime, but we were able to get seated right away. There is a good selection of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, pastas, and pizzas on the menu. I decided on the Prosciutto sandwich, normally a favorite Italian meat for me. I asked for the pepperoncini peppers on the side. We were served promptly by a new server in training. She was polite and helpful; her more experienced training server was a bit less pleasant, though mostly because it seemed she had gotten to a point where she was just getting the job done. She seemed fake, didn't make good eye contact, and the normal pleasantries of asking how the food was, asking if we needed anything didn't seem genuine, but more forced. I guess she was still just doing her job.
Now to the sandwich. The sandwich was prepared in a flatbread with several different types of meat, and topped with cheese, chopped lettuce and tomatoes, and.....pepperoncinis. Some miscommunication to the kitchen staff occurred, but it wasn't a big deal. I just picked the peppers off. I was a little disappointed that the whole sandwich had been toasted. I like prosciutto because it is a flavorful, thin-sliced cured meat with a wonderful flavor. They toasted the sandwich to make it hot and melt the cheese, but that resulted in a change in texture and loss of that wonderful characteristic prosciutto flavor. A simple olive, feta, veggie, and fusilli pasta salad was served on the side. Don't forget to ask for some bread and oil with balsamic vinaigrette while you're waiting for your entree. The sandwich with pasta salad was $9. I may come back to try their pizzas or pasta some time.
