Provided by YP.comAfter reading the online reviews we decided to try this place out. We printed a coupon good for a free appetizer which they would not honor because we got there at 6:03 and it was only good from 4:00-6:00. We ordered the calamari appetizer and I ordered a Caesar salad. The calamari was a mixture of small rings and small whole squid deep fried with a side of garlic Aioli. Though the Aioli was very good the calamari was a bit overdone, probably due to the non uniform size pieces.
The spaghetti and meatballs which my daughter ordered off the regular menu was a very large portion of pasta and three good sized meatballs for about $9.00. The sauce was overly sweet and the meatballs had a dry meatloaf texture, which she did not care for, but they were spiced well and I liked the texture. My wife ordered the Pollo Parmigiana which came with a small side of fettuccine Alfredo for $14.00. I did not try the fettuccine but the chicken was very good and the sauce, savory and well spiced. I ordered Misto Mare Shrimp in a lemon, white wine, caper, Shrimp, scallops, and white fish in and butter sauce over linguine noodles white wine, garlic, and fresh herb sauce over linguine noodles for $15.00.
My main issue here aside from the dodgy calamari, was the fact that the entree's that my wife and I ordered were such small portions relative to the price. I understand that seafood is always going to carry a premium price but the quality was nothing special. The flavors while not bad were not great, was just a so-so dining experience. I will not be in a big hurry to go back.
Overall I give the food two stars, the server four stars and management two stars. If there were a two and a half star rating I would have given it that.
