This was our first time here and I’m afraid to say, probably our last. Cocktails took about 15 min to be delivered to the table. A breadbasket was put down fairly quickly, with bread plates. I had part of a piece of bread on my plate (the other part of the bread was in my hand to eat), when the appetizers were served…..my bread plate was quickly whisked away. They also snatched up the breadbasket shortly thereafter and we needed to ask for a new one.
First course was the Eggplant Parm and the Beef Carpaccio. The eggplant was a little off-putting. I’ve never had eggplant parm that was so mushy. The eggplant was not fried and appeared to maybe have been sautéed until it was soft and like mush. Then it was layered with cheese and sauce. Thankfully it had good flavor but I couldn’t get past the texture. The Beef Carpaccio was supposed to be filet but having had this hundreds of times at other restaurants, I can tell you, it was not filet. Perhaps sirloin? It was sliced a little thicker than we’re used to and extremely chewy. Good thing we asked for the breadbasket back so we had something to eat it on! The arugula salad with it was dressed nicely and was refreshing.
My husband had the chicken parm and I do have to say, it was delicious. Chicken was crispy yet tender. Didn’t love the tomato sauce, for my liking it could have been blended in a blender to be saucy instead of just big chunks of tomato. The spaghetti with marinara was cooked perfectly but again, didn’t love the sauce. I had the Tagliatelle Bolognese. The noodles were overcooked. But you can definitely tell their pasta is homemade, so that was a plus. The Bolognese was tasty (maybe a tad salty…but that may be my being a little picky?). Grated cheese was not served on anything and needed to be requested. We did enjoy the Italian Paloma and Classico Chianti with our meal. It just felt like a weird evening. Between the breadbasket issue and the waitress asking us the same questions over and over, it was odd.
