Been ten years, and with the last few visits, does need an update. I've been going back to this location more than the Arlington one the last year or so. I usually go in and grab an appetizer to go.
The last few visits, the meatball appetizer has been going downhill. It started off with them being dry, and this last visit they were actually burned on the bottom, and I could barely cut them with the plastic knife I had in the to go bag. I felt like I was having to saw through them. Thank goodness for the extra marinara, cause it was really needed. The marinara by the way, is pretty good stuff, and lately the best part.
Not the only issue I've had in recent visits, but also I've seen the cost of the meatball app go up several dollars since I first started getting it. Coulda sworn it used to be $11, now it's $14...for three burnt meatballs, some slightly charred bread and the life saving marinara. Also seems like the pizza has gotten a little skimpy on the ingredients, I dunno, maybe it's just me.
However, it's still a place that will, for now, border on the 3-4 star rating. When the food is cooked right, it's fantastic. I don't think I've ever had a pizza that wasn't cooked damn near perfect, but almost everything else I've gotten has seen better times.
As far as pricing, it seems like Cane Rosso, like a lot of other places nowadays, just expects you to hand them a lot of money and give you some whatever condition food. There have been a couple of occasions in the past, when I had to send back bread that was burnt black. I wondered both those times how they could serve it, it was so obviously burnt. One of those times when I brought it to the attention of the server, she wasn't surprised at all, and seemed happy to get me some not so burnt bread.
Anyway, I'll still go in again, but if this trend continues, I won't be going in but once in a while, to see if it's gotten any better.
