text: SAD So much potential but missed it completely Many times when I first drive up to a place and I see or more of the staff outside the back door smoking cigarettes I will hop back in my car and leave but this place had really good write ups and we were in the mood for some super Italian food after working all day so we decided to give it a try anyway We were readily greeted and seated and water was brought to the table in no time at all We had a few minutes to look over the menu My husband and I decided we would each get a salad and then share an entree of linguine with clam sauce I ordered the mixed green salad which was supposed to have greens tomatoes cucumbers onions and olives I kid you not there was only about one fourth of ONE olive on my whole salad and there was no onion whatsoever There were greens tomatoes and three half slices of cucumber with a tasty balsamic dressing for What it should have cost was at the most My husband ordered the arugula salad topped with Gorgonzola cheese The arugula greens were nice and fresh and the he enjoyed the balsamic dressing as well BUT his salad only had a minuscule amount of Gorgonzola on it three small pieces to be exact I must give credit where credit is due their bread was really quite good It was a flat bread that seemed freshly baked right out of their wood fired oven and then lightly brushed with olive oil and dusted with black pepper Then linguine comes out First thing I notice is there is no spoon served with the pasta dish Well I figured out real soon why there was no spoon because there was NO SAUCE unless a tablespoon of sauce counts also about one third of the clam shells that were served with the pasta were void of any clams One of the clams was still shut too So the tablespoon of sauce we did get was tasty but reallyhow hard is it to add a bit of garlic butter and white wine and put it on the pastathere was no sauce The whole meal was so sad because components of it were so good but then it was so messed up by the huge oversights The homemade pasta noodles had delightful flavor yet so very very dry I wanted to try the tiramisu for desert but by this point I knew what to expect so we passed So very very sad Bummer It seemed like a restaurant that was skimping on everything because they were struggling not to go out of business I would not return
