| - Drove by this place a few times and having no plans for dinner decided to give it a try. The place is nice and offers a unique menu featuring pizzas, pastas, and mains. You basically pay the same price for any pizza, pasta, and main within it's category which i found to be a great deal. We decided to go with sharing the La Romano pizza and ordered two mains. My partner in crime ordered the mushroom chicken breast and I settled for the veal chop.
We were surprised to hear they didn't have a liquor license!!!!??
The pizza come out first after we specified that we wanted it as an app to share. While it was made in a wood fired oven, the taste was okay, not great but okay. Toppings were anchovies, black olives, and fior de latte. Hot oil was added to give it some flavour.
Soon after the mains came, my veal chop was made med. rare and not the medium i had asked for. The cut of meat was a bit too fatty for my liking and leads me to believe it was an inferior cut. The side of broccoli had too much butter (why add it?) and the roast potatoes probably were made well in advance, I couldn't eat them.
The roast chicken wasn't bad but luckily the mushroom sauce was asked to be put on the side, it was pretty bad. Again a side of broccoli and potatoes that were left unfinished.
While we ate, the inexperience in the service was evident as no one cleared our app plates nor did anyone come and ask how our food was.
We left without dessert and not even a "thank-you and see you soon" from any of the staff!
Won't be running back here anytime soon given the many better Italian options in the area!
