| - Started off the meal with fried zucchini which was great. Lightly breaded, perfectly fried, not greasy at all. It definitely tantalized my appetite and made me excited for what was next. All entrees come with soup or salad, and I went for the salad option with the house made Italian dressing. It was good, not like oh.my.god good, but it was your average house salad. I skipped out on the bread to save room for dinner.
Turns out I should have eaten the bread. I heard it was great and my food was...eh. I ordered veal parmigiana. Huggeeee piece of veal, pounded nice and thin, just how I like it, and thinly breaded. However, there was basically no sauce on it, though there was a generous portion of cheese. The side of pasta was absolutely bad. It tasted how pasta tastes in a chafing dish after 3-4 hours, dry, pasty, with gelatinous sauce. Way too much oregano in the sauce as well. If you have the slightest hint of heartburn, I guarantee that oregano is gonna talk back to you. We ordered a chocolate mousse cheesecake, but found out they were out of it. Ordered Limoncello cake, which was light and fluffy, but basically tasted like something you could buy at Sam's Club.
Decor was dated. They could not fit one more table or chair in there if the wanted. It was clean and had that "hometown" feel to it, but it definitely didn't serve up any sort of remarkable ambiance. The biggest saving grace was our server. He had been there forever and knew the history of the place, got our large group's orders correct, and never seemed to sweat it when it got busy.
Overall, I don't think I'll be back.
