Intrigued by the great reviews we chose this restaurant on a short visit to Denton. The restaurant was empty at almost 4pm and only had one server/bar tender.
Ordered two sodas, that came completely flat, server was always nice and very apologetic and brought us replacements "from another gun" that were also flat, like zero carbonation. When she came back after a good wait she said that their sodas are always "funny"...what? OK, drinks were exchanged for something trying to resemble iced tea, but we quickly gave up on the drinks completely and against our basic instincts (should have paid and left) we proceeded to order.
Started with the garlic knots, which were warm and slightly flavorful, not a show stopper, but a step up after the drink situation.
Then we ordered a margarita pizza (?) that was the flattest pizza dough ever, maybe flat bread would be a better description, flavors were ok, but definitely missed big on the dough. Next came 2 baked zitis, that looked ok, and were probably the best entree that was ordered, nothing to call home for, just ziti, marinara sauce a couple of cheeses and a hot oven, the sort of thing you will get at a church potluck and be satisfied, I guess.
Lastly, I wanted the green chicken lasagna that was sold out, so our really nice server recommended a ziti that would have "the same ingredients ", great. The pasta came and first impression was, where is the green sauce that gives this dish its name? It had a browned sauce, tasty yes but extremely greasy, and with some pieces of chicken that were really tough, like when you leave shredded chicken in the fridge without any cover and it dries out and forms a crust...sigh
To sum it up, we were not impressed with anything, and the highlight of our meal was the iced water and the garlic knots.
I don't get the 4+ star rating , but if you're the kind of person that enjoys your non-Italian grandma's version of Italian, this is your place.
