We went because of the many reviews and it was near the hotel where our friends were staying. Pleasantly surprised by the pretty interior and our table had a wonderful view of the pool & shark tank.
None of us had starters but a basket of bread was brought to the table along with some olive oil. NOTHING special about the bread-it could have came from Smith's or Albertson's...
I had the Cannelloni (17.99) which was stuffed with chicken and spinach, with béchamel and marinara sauce. The plate was served with 2 cannellonis which were delicious. My husband had the Filet alla Griglia (34.99), a center-cut filet with Italian roasted potatoes and asparagus topped witha rich Borolo demi-glace. He enjoyed every bite & said the asparagus was cooked perfectly!. One friend had the Fettuccine alla Campagnola(17.99) which had chicken, mushrooms, peas, mozzarella in a sugo rosa sauce. She said it was very good. Our other friend had the Rigatoni della Sansoni (18.99) which had a meat sauce and is normally topped with homemade meatballs but our friend asked if italian sausage could be substituted instead , which they did with no hesitation or extra charge.
The staff was very pleasant & attentive without being intrusive.
That said, I can only give this restaurant 3/5 stars. There is no way we would go out of our way to eat here again given all of the italian eateries in town and given the price, nothing we tasted was "out of this world" and portions were very small and only a few of the pricier entrees came with sides (albeit very small portioned sides).
