(由 Google 翻译)平庸至极。我和两位同事听从当地人的推荐来到这家餐厅,虽然它作为一家普通餐厅来说还算可以,但就食物的口味和品质而言,实在乏善可陈。
我们点了最基本的菜式:香肠意大利面、肉丸意大利面和千层面。心想如果这些菜做得好,下次我们还可以再来尝尝别的。接下来发生的事,你们自己猜吧。
意大利面的酱汁红得不自然,几乎像糖苹果一样,毫无疑问,他们花在打开10号罐头的时间比花在用新鲜番茄熬制美味酱汁上的时间要多得多。
我的同事说意大利面味道不错,他们也吃完了,但说实话,20美元的价格,面条的量应该翻倍才对,因为酱汁都快把面条淹没了。有些人可能喜欢这种分量,但对我来说,性价比太低了。
服务员极力推荐的面包配烤蒜确实好吃,但一整个面包要16美元,再加上区区一头蒜就要4.5美元,也就是说,一个面包要20美元,而它的价值大概只有3.5美元。
顺便一提:如果你想要一份红酱配面包,还要再花4.5美元,才能得到不到一小杯的量。这简直太离谱了。
配菜沙拉还不错,不过没有牧场沙拉酱让我有点失望。
最后说说千层面。别点了。味道很淡,上菜的时候都快凉了,而且香肠……或者他们用的什么肉……多到我这个肉食动物都吃不完。我本来可以吃完的,但我不想。
这千层面应该减半肉量,加倍面条,在面条层之间抹上白酱,再加几层里科塔奶酪。讽刺的是,它居然还需要更多酱汁。唯一亮点就是我们的服务员格蕾西。她像个小精灵,开朗活泼,乐于助人。她总是确保我们喝到新鲜的饮料,虽然点菜有点慢,但她会在用餐过程中不断过来询问我们的用餐体验。
这家餐厅以前可能不错,但如果让我打赌,我会说它已经不如从前了。
如果我有机会拯救这家餐厅,我会从重新设计所有菜谱开始。
他们可能声称现在正在这样做,但要么他们根本没做,要么他们的厨师水平太差。
如果你在这里有喜欢的菜,请尽情享用。如果你是从外地来的,而且已经吃过真正美味的意大利菜,那么你可以继续开车离开。

Profoundly average. Two colleagues and I ventured into this place on the recommendation of a local, and while it's fine as restaurants go, there was very little that stood out with respect to food taste and quality.
We maintained the essentials with spaghetti and sausage, spaghetti and meatballs, and lasagna. Figuring that if they got these right, then, we could come back another night and enjoy some other things. I'll let you guess what happens next.
The sauce on the spaghetti dishes was a preternatural red, almost candy apple, so there's very little doubt they spent more time opening #10 cans than they did actually putting together a good sauce from raw tomatoes.
My colleagues reported that the spaghetti was good, and they finished their meals, but really for twenty dollars, they should have had twice the amount of pasta, as the dish was swimming in sauce. Some folks like that, but for me, the value was not there.
The bread which came highly recommended with a side of roasted garlic was tasty, but at sixteen dollars for a full loaf, and another 4.50 for a measly single bulb of garlic, that's a twenty dollar loaf of bread that's worth about three dollars and fifty cents.
Side note: if you want red sauce with the bread, you get less than a cup for another four dollars and fifty cents. That's nervy.
The side salads were fine, I find the lack of ranch disturbing, however.
Finally on to the lasagna. Don't bother. There was very little flavor, it was served almost cold, and there was so much sausage... Or whatever meat they used... That I, as a big giant carnivore, did not want to finish. I could have. I did not want to.
The lasagna needs about half the meat, twice the pasta, a bechamel between the pasta sheets, and some layers of ricotta as well. Ironically it needed some more sauce.
The lone bright spot was our server Gracie. A sprite of a thing, she was cheerful, fun and helpful. Made sure we always had fresh drinks and although with a little slow in ordering the entrees, always checked on us as we went through the meal.
This place was most likely good once, if I were taking bets I would say that time has passed.
Were I to save this restaurant, i would start by reimagining all of the recipes from scratch.
They may say they do that now, but either they do not, or their chef is awful.
If you have a favorite here, please enjoy it. If you're coming in from out of town, and have had truly good italian food, you can go ahead keep on driving.
