A great thing happened when I went here... I really wanted to like it, and I actually DID! I loved it actually. Seems to happen rarely lately with let downs more common than not. Been twice now and both times was VERY happy with my meals and service. The second time that I went was for lunch. I got a seafood pasta with Mussels, Shrimp, white fish, and calamari. It was $15 bucks and well worth every penny. Great portion of each ingredient and the calamari was SO tender with a wonderfully mild flavor that I actually asked the waitress if it really was calamari. WOW We were a party of 4 and all of us loved our dishes and left full with no appetizers other than some bread and olive oil (which was delish, of course). People complain about portion size and I am a BIG (usually over) eater. I was happy. Others complain about price. Go to AJ's and get great pasta (not Barilla!), great San Marzan Tomatoes (not Hunts!) fresh basil and seafood so fresh its still wiggling and you'll see why you don't get a trough of pasta for $13 bucks. Better yet, make it yourself, so you'll actually slow down and enjoy the differences of taste and texture. Either develop your palate, or stay at Olive Garden and don't review this wonderful restaurant. I'm an avid cook (kind Wifey would say chef, but never any formal schooling for moi) and I've really been getting into authentic, rustic, Italian cooking. Simple, fresh, phenomenal, ingredients put together with love and care. The menu rotates so that he can serve only the freshest ingredients. BIANCO NAILS IT! I need to say it again... BIANCO NAILS IT!!!
