Stopped in for a mid-week dinner while exploring the area. On the way in I noticed the evening "special" was Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken which, at the time, seemed like the perfect selection.
The restaurant/bar is obviously a favorite of local residents and Viola's is obviously tuned into those folks. After wandering around searching for a table (or someone to seat me) I ended up at a high top table near the pool room. The friendly waitress eventually visited my table (almost 5 minutes after I was seated) and I committed to the above mentioned evening special. A few minutes later I received what was surely the worst serving of "Italian" food in my life. The fettuccine was dry, virtually tasteless and stuck together in a mess the size of a baseball. The chicken was also dry but burnt as well.
Apparently the nice folks who visit Viola's are there for the beer, friendly service and to catch up with buddies as few were eating. I only wish I had
known that before ordering as my time and money would have been better spent eating something from the convenience store located next door.
