| - Perhaps I'm too enamored of Gordon Ramsay, who bestowed this place with an executive chef courtesy the winner of "Hell's Kitchen" (I hear she's no longer here), but this place failed in almost every regard.
The complimentary antipasto platter is exactly the same as Terra Verde's platter at Green Valley Ranch, and sadly that was the highlight of Terra Rossa. Olives, artichokes, marinated peppers, shaved Parmesan. Eat this and sneak out.
The crab-meat-topped salad, a special of the day, did taste like real crab meat on lettuce, but if you think about it that's not much of an accomplishment. Crab, meet lettuce.
The lasagna. Where do I start? "Thin" is the first word that comes to mind, and it's not a word I want associated with lasagna. I like my lasagna stacked high, so I can see the layers of cholesterol doom I'm about to imbibe. A short-stack lasagna can be made at home for a lot less than $18.
Capelinni Pomodoro is just a fancy name for angel-hair pasta in tomato sauce. Buy a can of Hunt's diced tomatoes and save yourself fifteen bucks.
For true value, go to Hachi next door. It's a Japanese fusion place with remarkably original creations, and it's just a bank of slot machines away.
