They did have quite a bit of business and many whom came for take -out.
I honestly do not like giving low ratings but the food here was sub-par; lacked flavor; bread and oil was blah; chicken tasted 'funny'; deserts tasted like frozen generic stuff; coffee bitter; wings blah; our waitress - Kat - was pleasant, did not hover or ignore us, was prompt and efficient - she deserves 5 stars.
Sadly...No Bueno
Awesome, authentic Italian cuisine in a nice cozy atmosphere. Extensive wine selection.
The pizza is decent, thin flavorful, decent coverage of cheese/toppings. Generous portions, but the pasta leaves much to be desired. The sauce is super watery and chunky with little adhesion to the pasta. Expect a pool of water at the bottom. Sauce had a nice flavor however. The chef or whoever preps the food clearly has no idea about basic cooking methodology as they cut the eggplant on a vertical instead of as discs, thus assuring it will never cook evenly. Mine was perfect on the top and bottom edges but near raw on the majority of the center. Also instead of serving the pasta and "eggplant Parmesan" separate on to go orders it's all slopped together and somewhat soggy, ruining any crispiness. For 12$ orders should include some garlic bread, something to soak up the flood of water from the sauce. Finally in what says it all about this place --No olive oil used to seal in the moisture on the pasta. There is no detectable Parmesan in the "Eggplant Parmesan."
Pleasant outdoor setting area which was quiet.
I live close by, so I especially like the Tuesday night pizza special, $10 for a Xlarge (20 inch) pizza with 1 topping (take out only)
Such a little jewel of a restaurant. Love the owner and amazing food. Always good!!
The place was clean. The wine pretty good.
This is a wonderful family restaurant, not your corporate olive garden!! So many good dishes and huge 18 inch pizzas. Wine, beer on tap or bottle and lots of desserts. Good place to watch a game and the owners are always there. As with any restaurant you have disgrunted employees who leave and write negative reviews. My suggestion is to try this place and formulate your own opinion. Our household likes the eggplant, spagetti and meatballs and fish limone. And the supreme pizza!!!
Save your money - Carinos food is hands down 100% better and about equivalent in cost.
