Pretty awful. The veal saltimbocca was flavorless, had large chunks of veal that were not pounded, trimmed, or gently sauteed. The dish was an embarrassment. Our server was apologenic and replaced this dish with the linguini with clams, which was tasty but not restaurant quality. Salad had a ton of over-oily and salty dressing. There were no dinner salad options or anything light on the menu. Angel hair pasta with pesto tasted like overcooked thin spaghetti with broth and parsley, no fresh basil or nuts. A few other dishes ordered were okay and service was quite good. Very dissappointing meal, almost would have preferred fast food!!!
I recentle was in town on a job interview and decided to try this restaurant. I ordered the veal saltimbocca. It was like trying to eat a piece of leather. I also was in the mood for sausage and peppers. That wasalso terrible. The only good thing was the salad that the waitress put togeather.This is not authentic Italian food by any stretch of the imagination.Italians would walk out being served such garbage.
Pretty good: We went to celebrate his birthday. It was during restaurant week and there some pretty good choices. Mussels were tasty and fresh. Chicken giamba (sp?) was kind of weird tasting, but overall the portions and service was great. **a little cramped.
