I really like Minneci's. The food is great. Though I generally get the Italian Beef because it's huge, warm and delicious, I've tried a few of the pasta dishes and they've been pretty good (though a bit small). The garlic bread is to die for, though often it doesn't seem like there's enough. The atmosphere is also nice; it's quiet and well lit. A great place for a date, for instance.
The problem that we've run into is the service. The last time I went was with a big group (we were celebrating our graduation) and the service took three hours. The poor waiter appeared inexperienced, and accidentally whacked me in the glasses with a salad dish. I don't really fault the poor kid for being thrown into the situation, though, and I also don't fault him for the kitchen being unable to prepare our food in a timely or reasonable manner. It was a weekend, we called ahead for a reservation by a day or two and the restaurant wasn't crowded. The service should have been better.
I'd go back to Minneci's if I had a hankering for Italian, but I'm not sure I'd schedule anything afterwards.
