. "I should give this 2.5 stars - the beginning (pesto with the bread) and the end (dessert) were terrific. What came between was adequate at best. Given the prices I expected to get better quality than the Olive Garden, but it was only marginally better...\n\nI had fried calamari and the scallop main course, my wife had the pizza app and bucatini main course. My calamari was heavily breaded and rubbery - it had to be frozen food service calamari or frozen from a bad like you'd get at Safeway. It couldn't have been fresh. The scallops were tasty, but over salted and very small - not the very large sea scallops I'm used to in quality restaurants.\n\nMy wife's pizza was really good - thin crispy crust and very nicely done. Her bucatini was too peppery and tasted like it was a sauce from a jar.\n\nThe highlight was dessert - the tiramisu and toffee chocolate cake were great! They were probably bought in too (do they make anything in house?) but they were really good!\n\nSo if we went back I guess it would be for pizza and dessert. Otherwise I'd save your money and go to the Wynn Buffet, Red8 or Il Mulino if you want Italian."^^ . . "0"^^ . "2009-05-15T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ . "0"^^ . "2"^^ . .
