The food is what passed for Italian food in the 1950's in this country: heavy red sauced pasta thrown at the diner with screeches of `everythin' goin'OK here, need anythin'else?` masquerading for service. The lasagna looked like a flattened out flame-singed miasma of red and yellow thickened puddles, and was at best mediocre. ($14.95) The Canneloni Special was slightly better, but 2 cannelloni with some ziti on the side with same red sauce and cheese encrusted on top for $14.50 was an outrage at that price! The begining soup, the pastina, was an overly salted chicken broth with decayed pasta and parmesan in the bottom. Not a great beginning by any means. We drove 40 miles to come to this restaurant based on reviews on various websites. I guess superlative reviews can also be misleading or most people are taken in by what they call the Italian family atmosphere (noisy, brawly racket!!!OK if the food is great). But MEDIOCRE food for HIGH PRICES, an affront to Southern Italian Cuisines. Dayton has a better Italian restaurant, with better food/pricing/service and they don't treat you like they are doing you a favor: BRAVO!!! *darn it, we should have gone there, their Lasagna is perfection, large, lightly sauced and served on a humongous platter, no way one can finish more than half of the serving. ($11.50) Their bread is homemade and their soups are to swoon over. Why didn't we go there instead? (edited)
