| - Maybe it helps that I was with a great and fun group of people... but we really enjoyed ourselves here!
Overall, I would say the food was good. Being from the NYC area, I am always weary about Italian food in any other area of the country. I was surprised here by the entire experience (and in a good way).
First off, our server (Andy- a girl) was great. She was funny, fast and accurate. She played into the fun we were having, and that is always great. We stopped at the bar first for a few drinks, and the bartender too was great. Let's face it... service goes a long way in any restaurant experience.
I judge Italian places by 2 things usually: Calamari and Veal. I took a leap of faith and tried both. The calamari was tender and cooked right. The breading was not my favorite style, but I know that varies a bit. The sauce it came with was good though... plenty of flavor. As far as the veal, it was not tough, cooked right and good flavor.
Overall, the value here was great. Everyone enjoyed their food (we had 8 of us so plenty of different items) and walked away stuffed. From the apps to salad to entrees, everything was done right. And as far as the price... it REALLY is hard to beat anywhere. Including drinks before, 8 of us enjoyed a fun meal for under $300. Not too shabby!
