Nice little hole in the wall restaurant. Made a dinner reservation, and was welcomed with a busy atmosphere. We were seated right away, unfortunately towards the corner of the restaurant, behind the counter. Not a horrible dining spot, but also felt like we were slightly forgotten at times.
Bread service was a bit confusing and unclear. The menu has it available for 3$, but it also states that the first round is free. Well, we did not receive any bread, nor was ever offered any, as it would of been nice to chew on something while we waited for our dishes to arrive. The Mrs. was also a bit frustrated, as other diners were receiving bread service left and right. I wasn't too bothered by the situation, but it's the principal of it all.
Enough about the bread, and on to the main courses.
We ordered the lasagna Bolognese, fettucine alfredo and the chicken parm. The lasagna was decent, I wasn't too impressed with the accompanying Bolognese sauce, but overall a good dish. The chicken parm was your standard chicken parm, well made though. The spaghetti accompanying the chicken was fine, though a bit too chewy. Needed perhaps an additional 2 minutes on the stove. Last but not least was the alfredo. Creamy, rich, and perfectly al dente.
We also ordered a couple of drinks, sadly they were watered down. As for dessert, we took a gander with the affogato. It was just OK. Not worth the 8$ if you ask me.
Service was overall a bit slower than expected and the food took a good 20-30 minutes to hit our table. Staff were nice and cheerful, but I expected more from a joint with 4.9 stars.
Not bad, not great, but not coming back.
3.7/5
