Italian restaurant, Bar, Caterer, Restaurant
I believed the reviews and dined here on a Wednesday night.First, the dining room was freezing! Seems to cater to silver hairs, which is fine but why so cold?? The server spilled my water on the table.Food was ok, nothing spectacular.I got the lobster ravioli based on previous reviews.Took half of the plate home.Atmosphere was strip mall cafeteria.Not memorable.Probably won't be back.
Went with a couple that has been going there monthly for years.Atmosphere was simple but elegant. Crowded but easy to hear the table conversation. Wait staff was hustling, pleasant, and attentive. Menu, judge for yourself, was basic Italian with a few twists. Then the fun began. Two of my utensils had dried crud on it. Not a big deal, easily replaced. I ordered lasagna but was served the chicken primavera instead. Waiter knew it before approaching the table and apologized, said I could keep the errant dish on the house and he would bring out my lasagna. Again, mistakes happen and this was handled professionally and pleasantly.... no problem. That said, there was nothing special about the food. French onion soup was bland, a simple slice of provolone on top of some croutons. The chicken primavera was dry. Served without pasta, the only moisture was a single slice of cheese placed on top. My wife ordered the special, shrimp and crab in a lobster sauce. What we got was 5 shrimp with some crab bits mixed into what tasted like a basic Alfredo sauce, nothing more. It wasn't a bad meal, just disappointing.
Started out water had an odd stale taste. So we ordered ice tea which also had a stale taste. Food was off tonight. I ordered bake ziti which was drowned in sauce and no cheese. Other pasta dishes also with way too much sauce. Fettuccine dish very bland barley any sauce. Was very disappointed. Will not return to eat here again
