| - Came here with my husband for dinner tonight. It was about 6:30pm on a Friday night and there was about a 10 minute wait before we could be sat. The Host asked if it was our first time dining and we said yes. He said they give free dessert if it's your first time there (we never received free dessert, nor did our server even ask if we wanted dessert). The wine was decent, I had the Chianti, my husband had the merlot. We started with Toasted Cheese Ravioli. The Ravioli were really good, the sauce...not so much. It's very thick and very sweet. Also had sort of a metalic taste, canned maybe?? Oh, it also had a giant slice of barely melted provolone cheese atop the marinara (think deli sliced provolone for sandwiches), this just made it awkward to try and eat the sauce. For our meals I had the baked rigatoni with marinara. Fail on my part as it was the same sauce that was served with the Raviolis. Blech! I ate half and decided it wasn't worth the calories finishing it. My husband had the Eggplant Parm. He said it was bland and not a whole lot of flavor. Our server cleared our plates and dropped the check. Not even a word of dessert was mentioned. We weren't even concerned about getting it free, we couldn't even get it at all. I do believe however, if you're going to mention it, you should follow through! All in all this place did not wow us. For 2 glasses of wine, Toasted Ravioli app, baked rigatoni and eggplant parm our bill was $50 bucks. Not too bad but so not worth it.
On a side note I need to mention how distracting it was seeing both a server (stocky male, facial hair, longer hair slicked back) and a female busser (reddish curly hair up in a bun) chewing gum! Gross, spit it out!! There were also quite a few female employees with longer hair, past their shoulders not pulled back in a pony tail. To me this says this place does not care about sanitation and for that alone, I will not return.
