We passed by when they were setting up, (3: 45), and decided to wait until they were 'rolling',(4:30). Well, they never really got rolling; Every little thing took what was apparently a conference between the server and the manager, and the wine list was organized in a confusing manner. This all added up to wine not being served for about 30 minutes. The wine, at least, was good,(California Pinot Noir), which is more than I can say for the food. All I can imagine is that they cater to old-school mid-America taste for salt and cheese: Marinara sauce isn't supposed to have cheese in it unless specially requested, yuck. I'll admit the spaghetti was `al dente`, but the sauce still made it inedible, (although probably not for the homeless man we gave it to on our walk to the `River Bus`). Ironically, the greens weren't properly salted to steam out the bitterness. The mushroom side,(not on the menu), was the only the complete success, while the Gnochi in vodka sauce was passable. This place is is not expensive, but certainly not the cheapest fare in the area. If you like large portions the way `Mamma used to make`, this will be your place only if Mamma was not Italian.
