Went here recently for a family member 's birthday. Being from New York, I know a good Italian spot when I see it, starting with the garlic knots. When looking for good knots, you wanna see them smothered, but the ones from here were terribly dry, and not spongy or pull-apart able at all. The jalapeño poppers were all right, but they were served with, I think thousand island dressing? A little unconventional, but it worked out alright. The house salad was nice, and why I think the food deserves 2 stars instead of one. The house vinaigrette was wonderful. For my entree, I had the eggplant parmesan, which was, ok. Not the most flavorful thing I 've had, and the side of pasta (that you pay an extra 2 dollars for if you want Alfredo like I did), was pretty bad. Dry and wet at the same time, and I had to drown it in salt and pepper to get anything that even resembled flavor. The value for the food was amazing, but the quality definitely reflected the price. I would not come here again if I wanted things that were really edible. My partner got the chicken marsala, which, was the most flavorful thing I 've had up until that point. Their side pasta was horrendous though, I wish I hadn 't had any. The server, Baron, was the highlight of the entire trip. He was very patient, quick, and attentive to everyone at the table, and there were 6 of us, and some of us were a handful. He got us things as soon as he could after we asked, and did not make us feel bad even when some of us (not me), kept asking him for extra things because some of us (again, not me) don 't gather their thoughts before asking for more things. The atmosphere itself was odd though. It looked like they were going for a nicer dining experience, while also giving a sports bar type vibe? Not the place for date night, bad food and weird atmosphere combined, but an ok place for a family wanting to get out the house and get their money 's worth, if they 're lacking a few taste buds. Personally wouldn 't go back.
