| - If your looking for a decent place for Italian then this is the place.
Dined here twice. Always packed especially end of week so prepare for the wait. Visited this location for the first time soon after opening this past summer. Meeting with coworkers we landed patio seating at a communal table- whimsical with candle lit tables. Second time in the dining area.
First visit:
Mozzarella- made fresh daily in house- a must for a starter!
Primavera pizza $15- grilled zucchini, eggplant, roasted red peppers, grape tomatoes, and red onions. Disappointing to say the least. Both my friend and I ordered pizza once I started eating it, the pizza was doughy, thick, and undercooked. In comparison with my friends, the two pizza's were not alike. I flagged down my server and said the pizza was inedible. She apologized and agreed that the pizza was thicker than usual and put in another order. In the meantime, I tried my friends Sophia pizza. Order this one- chicken, goat cheese, roasted red peppers and caramelized onions. After some time, I received the second order and it was good but wouldn't recommend as it lacked flavour. If your opting for a non meat option this is not one to order.
Scaddabush had a promo for their grand opening however the server was unaware. Our table had to wait a good 15 minutes for the manager to direct the server how to process the payment. I wasn't overtly bothered by this as I realized they had just opened. Not a great first impression though.
Second visit:
Goat cheese and beet salad $13- typically never order salad's as I can't justify the price but found myself not uber hungry. The salad had the perfect amount of balsamic lemon vinaigrette- can't stand salads drenched in dressing! Complimented with pears, walnuts, cranberries, and a generous helping of goat cheese served on a bed of spinach/arugula. Love me a good ole beet salad!
Extensive wine list- reasonably priced.
All in all if your in the area and chain restaurants are your choices this one is a good option.
