HUGE entrees, nothing spectacular about the flavor of any dish though.... unfortunately portion size does NOT make up for the lack in flavor. Bread with plain olive oil was just nasty.... Service was less than 100%.... server was a bit scatter brained, a chatty Cathy with no real server abilities.. ... pricing is for more 'upscale' than this place is.... ...... would not make a point to go back for a second try...
The best family style dining around. If you enjoy Italian food and lots of it this is the palce to be. We went on a SUnday after church and there were about 15 in out party with quite a few children.
We started with two appetizers: spinach and artichoke dip and the best fried mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce I've ever had. The kids love that and they were gone in no time. For our entrees we ordered spaghetti and meat balls for the children, salmon with dill sauce, chicken caciatorre and spinach and chicken manicotti with a cream white sauce which was delicious. There was so much food and plenty to carry home. For dessert we had creme brulee and Nona's pound cake which had chocolate sauce over vanilla bean ice cream with bananas. I want to go back right now, but it's after midnight. I like family style dining when there are a lot of people with children. The room was loud with laughter and conversation which was jsut fine with me. It's a place that serves up the best food and the ambience isn't bad either. You'll enjoy yourself.
Try the lobster raviolli: Make sure you order whole orders and take some home for later. You tummy will thank you! Great Martinis also.
