| - We did not like this place. It was not busy at all when we went, and it still took awhile to be seated. While we were looking over our menus we overheard a server commenting on the pumpkin cheesecake being house-made and amazing. It got my hopes up that everything else would have been house made as well.
I ordered the gnocchi, and my boyfriend ordered the chicken parm. They both had the same sauce- which tasted like a can of tomato sauce with garlic powder and dried oregano sprinkled in before being served. Canned tomato products definitely have a distinct, awful taste so that was unfortunate. The Gnocchi was stuffed with a spinach ricotta mix. They were kind of gummy, and were all extremely uniform.
The chicken was breaded with Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs, and was more soggy than crisp.
My boyfriend did like the bread they served before the entrees, it was like thickly rolled out pizza crust dough, brushed with butter and Italian seasonings, then cut into strips. Our server poured a ton of oil and vinegar on a plate to go with it, I was surprised she used so much until I tasted it. It tastes like they either cut it with vegetable oil, or use an extremely low grade olive oil. The balsamic vinegar was very sweet and thin.
On the plus side, their wine was reasonably priced. They seem to stock the mass produced brands that most people are familiar with.
