Went here on a Sunday evening with a party of 6. Caesar salad and canoli were the best parts of the meal, everything in between was just average, and overall everything was WAY overpriced. \nService was adequate but not what you would expect for the prices on the menu. The atmosphere was not appropriate in our opinion; the music and the movie clips (bloody scenes from Casino and other mob type movies) just did not make any sense to us for a place to feel comfortable eating.\nCaesar salad was well dressed with a good dressing and croutons, and was a very nice sized portion, enough to share.\nWe (tried to) split the stuffed clams appetizer, but only 2 of our party could eat it because it was so greasy and way too spicy. I love stuffed clams but have never tasted any with quite as much red pepper as they put in it.\nFor the main dishes, one person in out party ordered the Chicken Parm. It was a decent sized piece of chicken, but for 24 dollars it comes all by itself on a plate, no side of pasta or anything. I have heard of the a la carte menu items on a steakhouse menu but would it really be hard to add a little mound of pasta?\nThe chicken marsala and gnocchi were pretty tasty, even though the chicken was on the salty side. They are very heavy-handed on the salt and cheese, especially the ricotta scoops they put in the bowls of spaghetti and meatballs, which a few of us had. The pasta was cooked nicely, the sauce was very one-note in my opinion, and the 'famous' meatball was just average. My mom has been making it better for years, and everyone at the table agreed. \nI would not go back there unless I just wanted the salad and cannoli, and even then I might just get it to go.
