you're a loser- Is follow up to post by lazur ...
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. -- 8/14/2006 11:09:27 PM
