I love this place...and I suppose I still do. I had several dates here during college so it holds a special place in my heart.
Tonight the service sucked...for us and people around us. People were ignored and the staff disappeared for dozens of minutes at a time. WTF were they doing? I couldn't resist. I looked into the server station and found out. Talking. They were simply BSing while tables were ignored. I would have left if I was the couple next to us that was ignored for probably 30 minutes or more.
As far as the food:
The bread is outstanding!
The creamy garlic salad is fantastic, but they initially forgot to add the dressing, which I had to wait for until just before the entree arrived.
Calamari was not crispy, either undercooked or it sat too long. The marinara was outstanding too (dip the bread in it).
Bruschetta was also top notch.
The pasta was not al dente...I think because it was fresh pasta not dried. I am unsure if I liked it or not. The Italian sausage was funky but I think it was because it was a real Italian sausage or maybe an aged Italian sausage. The dish overall was so salty! I tend to go overboard on salt and even I thought it was borderline. My wife and I split the pasta and she shoved her portion back onto my plate... and that NEVER happens!
I also thought it was annoying that the hostess greeted us by saying "you have a reservation I hope" when the place was not busy at all. Pretentious.
So give it a try, just carve out lots of time and be prepared to be ignored.
