| - Clearly I am the odd ball who wasn't particularly impressed with this place. We read the reviews and thought we would give it a try. Sadly I did not know about the Groupon deal. Had I known about that, it would have at least lessen the blow from the final amount of the check.. We were seated and our drink order was being taken before we all sat down. The menu was OK nothing that blew my socks off. I guess the name of the place led me to believe this was an Italian restaurant but there was mostly Greek dishes on the menu AND the Italian sandwich came with MAYO. NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!! Never and I mean NEVER do Italians put mayo on an Italian sandwich. Seriously what is with these places and their obsession with putting mayo on EVERYTHING especially Italian hoagies. I had the Lemon and Oregano chicken on a Mint Salad. My chicken was 1/2 a breast that was probably sliced in half, grilled with no taste of lemon or oregano. The Mint salad was large chunks of cucumber, tiny diced un ripened tomatoes, a handful of olives and a few ribbons of mint. My side item, the mac and cheese was delish and the highlight of my plate. My children had the burgers .One ordered a Cheeseburger and the other ordered a Build Your Own. the server asked how they would like the burgers cooked. Both requested Medium. When they arrived it was obvious they were frozen pattys, super thin and charred. They didn't have a shot at being prepared Medium. They were so thin, the moment they hit the grill they were overdone. My daughters cheeseburger came with nothing on it but cheese. Really? No lettuce? No tomato? I guess she should have ordered the "Build Your Own" and my son's burger was missing two of the 5 items he requested. My Hubby had a chicken dish on a bed of rice with herb roasted potatoes. His was the best looking and tasting dish out of the four. After Dinner we indulged in the Gelato. It was very good but a little pricey. 3 mediums and 1 small came to $21. The pistachio, strawberry Greek, nutella and the cannoli cream were very good. The birthday cake, which shouldn't even be a flavor to begin with, was overly sweet. When it was all said and done we paid about $80ish for the entire meal. A little to pricey for what you got.
