| - With a sign out front proclaiming to be a deli, I didn't expect to have 5 star service, but little hole-in-the-wall places sometimes can hold secrets you might even keep from close friends. Fanny's? was unfortunately not one of those places.
The interior looked like a typical Italian deli: meat/cheese counter advertising Boar's Head Ham, a metal rack to the right filled with olive oil, olives, tomato sauce, pasta, etc. Small 4 seat tables, it gives a small town family business vibe. The staff were very polite and attentive.
The food: 1-2 stars at best.
I ordered riggotoni with meatballs. The sauce was pretty bland aside from the fresh cheese and the meatballs were like rocks. They tasted as if they were just hamburger formed into balls, frozen, thawed, then heated in a microwave. I seriously had a hard time cutting them with a fork.
The saving grace, (not by much) was the small 1" square of brownie that was presented by the waiter.
I know real Italians who were born and raised in it's, and this is not Italian food.
There is also no restroom available for guests. I understand size constraints, but this is a let down.
