text: Unfortunately I have to join in and not give this place much credit like the other reviewers Wish I could though bc it is got a great set up Love the open airiness about it and all the great sitting places Bt that and the waiter that is the only thing I liked about herenMy cousin saw this place since he lives nearby so he wanted to check it out I got the peasant pasta bc they say their pasta is handmade The dish had great flavor marinara sauce with italian bacon and breadcrumbs but the pasta was horrible First off it was a bucatini pasta which is a thick spaghetti with a hollow hole in it Well when I got the pasta it was not al dente at all It was hard and raw I bit into several pieces and could feel a hardness and saw whiteness like raw dough The waiter was great and got me another one This was better but I still found raw hard pieces in it Too hungry to send it back again After this it dawned on me hey if it was handmade why was it HARD I have made fresh pasta and well raw I can understand Hard huh That would only be if the pasta was dried Hmmma bit misleading When i think handmade I think fresh I think this pasta was made by hand but maybe they make it in large batches ahead of time and dry it out to use later nnMy cousin got the lasagna meat with white sauce The waiter said the white sauce is not like your typical thick alfredo sauce It did look lighter than that But cousin says they could have added more noodles Too much meat for him nnMaybe it is worth another try but seeing as how the other reviews are not good either I would rather go to Andreolis Grocer Now that is a truly AUTHENTIC italian place
