Italian restaurant, Pizza restaurant
Just moved to the area and have had take out twice.Servings are very large.We got the Lasagna and the three cheese Mac and cheese on this trip.Easily enough for three meals each.Bread is awesome! Not much in the dessert dept, they need some cannolis or chocolate cake.The staff was over the top accommodating and friendly on both visits.
Thuroughly scoured reviews before ordering, and generally they have the right of it.I'd give it about a 6/10.Whoever said it was the Denny's of italian food was right.I can't speak to the service or ambience as I got takeout, waited about 45 minutes between order and arrival at the store.I also had the experience another person had with the bag being so wet it just immediately tore, but thankfully my order was in a plastic bag as well so it didn't get all over my car.The bread was fine, all the seasoning was on top instead of in the dough, and it was warm and also fully cooked.Kinda had the mouthfeel of pizza crust, and it wasn't rock hard, which is what I was worried about.The marketing is a little superficial for what you get: aggressively average Italian food, but I don't regret trying it. Pros: - Hot - Wet - Fully cooked - Looks decent Cons: - Extremely watery.I don't know why, but I suspect this is why it's not as flavorful - Flavor balance was weird.I got the creamy pesto and the dried tomatoes absolutely dominated every bite they were in.It feels like maybe 1 cup of pesto for every 16 cups of cream sauce. - Got my order wrong - I ordered the spicy italian sausage because I was anticipating flavorlessness bases on the reviews, and instead I received grilled chicken.It was all cooked all the way, not too tough, but was definitely not marinated or seasoned before being added. For all of this, after tip, fees, and tax, I paid a little under $30, which is not worth a return trip to me.I don't think I'll get food poisoning, and it was filling, but the Denny's comparison holds true: if you have anywhere else you can go, maybe pass on here.If you do go, bring your own spices.
No flavor, small portions, expensive, service ok.The best part of the meal was the bread. After that the meal went downhill.We order prosecco and they were out.We ordered a petite salad and came on a saucer plate, three bites for 5.95.Then our manicotti was bland and acidic, two tube for around $18.Our mushroom pasta hardly had any mushrooms. We sat in the bar area to watch the basketball game and they don't subscribe to local games? The place was empty on a Friday night at 6:45 should have been our first clue. I remember when it was packed and had good food and prices.Many other choices around. Was so disappointed didn't even take photos of the presentation. Decided to bring food home and see if we could add flavor so we could eat it.
