It started with a dirty parking lot - I guess we missed the valet. Then, we had a broken menu with missing pages and the order of the pages was off. Thankfully, I checked the menu online and knew exactly what I wanted to order. The waiter seemed like a newbie and was a bit nervous.
However, the ambiance was top-notch, with perfectly designed interiors and a nice TV placement with good vibe pictures. There was a kitty party going on in the background, which made it a bit noisy, but that was okay.
The lemon ice tea was good, but not freshly brewed. The pumpkin ravioli was salty, and the pumpkin seemed to come straight out of a can. The Sicilian pizza we ordered was nothing like the real deal - it was more like their own version, which was still good because I like pizza and don't think there's such a thing as bad pizza. I regret NOT ordering the standard margherita. The red pasta was the only dish that met our expectations.
Overall, I feel that in the name of standardizing for franchising, they've butchered Italian cuisine. I feel bad that this can't be a go-to place for Italian food."
