I was one of a party of 13 for a birthday party on Saturday night. Yep, I was odd man out again and in more ways than one as I will note in a bit. We got started a bit after 7 and first we got our drinks and spent some time chatting and reading the menus. Most of the folks there had been there several times before. Everybody but me wanted pizza and wings so I ordered fettuccine Alfredo ($18.95) with salad and garlic knots. I know it's un American not to be a fan of pizza and wings. Their antipasta arrived and I sipped on my beer. Then the pizzas came, then the wings followed by my pasta. Somehow my order got separated from the rest and I had to ask for my salad and bread which finally came last. The side salad wasn't earth shattering but was solid and the garlic knots were nice warm pieces of bread. The pasta was delicious. I mentioned I was not a fan of pizza or wings but I was coerced in to trying both a pepperoni pizza slice and a couple of Giovanni wings. Both were really good, the pizza was a thin crisp in spots crust. The wings had none of the heat I normally associate with wings. I had to take some of the pasta and bread home with me. After dinner there was warm Zepellies and the birthday girl got this huge ice cream/brownie/whipped cream thing which her husband and I finished most of. If you followed along, you will note I ate a lot of different stuff and I paid for it for several hours afterward.
For a large party we got quite good service except for my salad arriving late. I just had the one beer (25oz) but most of the women were there to get their drink on and amongst them had several different mixed drinks and with one exception (weak) all were done well.
This is a big sprawling place with 2 bars and more TVs than I have seen outside of Vegas. The original space which is sort of set off from the rest of the area has pool tables and darts. There is a good sized outdoor area too.
