text: I've given this restaurant two tries and will not return for a third. If you like scarcity in terms of decor and especially food, this is your place. If, however, you eat more than say a New York City runway model getting ready for Fashion week, then avoid attempting to eat here.\n\nThe first time I tried the Italian Restaurant (named with such apparent lack of energy it foreshadows the experience) I ordered a mozzarella and prosciutto sandwich, which was OK, but nothing fabulous. The portion was small, but not ridiculously so, and came with a small pile of plain, leafy greens tossed in olive oil. The sandwich consisted of a hard crusted bread, slice of mozzarella and paper thin slice of prosciutto - simple, plain and fairly bland.  I left unsatisfied, but not angry...\n\nNot a great first try, but I'm a fan of Italian food and so loved Spasso that occupied this location prior to the Italian Restaurant, I decided to give it another shot.  Thinking that maybe I should move to the pasta section of the one page menu, that this is where the Italian in the Restaurant would shine through, I ordered the ravioli special.  It was, simply put, underwhelming!  There were 6 (I counted) square ravioli that were no bigger than the width of a typical fork.  Looking at the meager portion I thought, wow these must be incredible - at $12 for the dish, $2 a ravioli should be amazing.  Surprisingly, and unfortunately, this was definitely not the case.  They were again bland and topped with a simple, bland tomato sauce.  The size of this lunch dish was about what I'd expect for a tapa or a small appetizer.  I'm a big fan of smaller portions and higher quality, but its really hard for me to believe this was a serious attempt at a lunch portion for anyone.\n\nBottom line, I left hungry, disappointed to the point of feeling angry at being ripped-off and determined never to return!
