| - Bleh never again!.. Except to pick up tiramisu!
We came here last night, despite the mixed reviews, with a groupon for dinner. There were about 4 or 5 other parties in the entire place and the lighting was very dark. We were quickly seated at a small table in the corner. The server was nice and attentive. What really sent this place off to a bad start was the condition of the silverware, eww! There was dried, old marinara sauce covering most of the prongs of my fork. I have never seen a fork so disgusting in an eatery in my entire life! Sent it back right away for another set which also had a less amount of dried, old marinara. I had to switch out my silverware twice, that is really terrible and made me question the hygiene practices of Open Kitchen. I was afraid to think of what they do to the food in the back.
Despite this, we stayed. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo and the bf had the lasagna parmigiana as well as an order of cheesy garlic bread and some marinara. The food, nothing special here. Our very flavorless, tomatoey marinara was $3.25. Not worth it at all. I had to add a ton of salt, pepper, and chili to make the fettuccine edible. The lasagna parmigiana was unfortunately not edible, extremely mushy! I couldn't get past it. What a bust, nothing tastes fresh! Dessert on the other hand was delish and my favorite part of the meal. The tiramisu was amazing!
After the groupon, I ended up paying $20 with tax and tip. Not worth it! We definitely won't be coming back. But, I will be taking tiramisu to go!
