I have been spying this place for a while especially since it is close to my home. I finally went for lunch and there was a long line. Admittedly, a nice lady kept telling me great things about the food while I waited in line so I stayed where I was. I quickly realized that I could seat myself immediately but takeout and eat in orders go through the same line. I was still not discouraged.
I ordered the Lobster Pasta Al Forno - special of the day with a glass of wine. They had wooden bench seating and I sat near the windows. The wooden tables were sticky but I had hoped that it was from the cleaning agent as opposed to their general disregard for wiping tables. My lunch came with a salad of mixed greens with tomatoes and cucumber, which was quite plentiful and delicious. However, when it was time to get my order, two dour-looking servers dispassionately tried to give me Veal Parmesan pasta that I did not order. After a bit of back and forth "What I really ordered" banter, they finally brought the food back and assured me my food order would come right up. I waited a while on that pasta, which is a lot if I only had a short time for lunch. I finally got my pasta which looked like a big gooey mess of sauce and indiscernible pasta. After I took a few bites, I realized that it is actually big raviolis with lobster filling. The pasta filling was fishy but without any taste of lobster and the pasta was overcooked. I tasted very much like something I could have bought from the frozen food section. Nothing special at all. The sauce was good but I have a feeling it is the generic sauce that they use for every pasta that they serve.
Overall, the service and food were disappointing and for a lunch spot it did not fill my heart with warmth and I am not motivated at all to try this place again. I could have had the same experience had I microwaved some frozen ravioli meal from the nearby grocery.
