text: I wanted to love this place I really really did but really really did not love it I did not even like it that much We took some friends there for lunch today and by the looks of the food it seemed so promising It is a casual spot where the food it pretty much preprepared and being heated in the windows at the counter This restaurant has pizza salads pasta sandwiches and baked goods I ordered one of the specials chicken parmesan with a side of penne alla vodka The chicken was so bland that I felt like I was eating boiled chicken As my husband put it it tasted like diet food but without the benefits of diet food because of the breading The pasta was also weirdly bland and spicy The spicy part really surprised me because I have never had it spicy My husband had the penne alla campagna and another penne dish that we cannot remember His were slightly better than mine but not by much It is sad that the best part of the meal was the pepperoni pizza we bought for kids Would I go there again Probably not For adults and kids we spent which I find disappointing for an extremely mediocre meal I suppose for people that work close by it is downtown at Central and Adams it is a nice convenience but if I wanted Italian food I would probably choose Pasta Bar
