text: After quite a few mentions in a YT thread a while back, I bookmarked this spot and have been dying to try it. I really, really wanted to like it, but it just fell short...\n\nWhen we first arrived, it wasn't all that busy. Maybe 4-5 other tables sat, and no one was waiting at the front to order from the display. We basically went ungreeted and were just met with blank stares. They did get us sat pretty quickly, but past that, I just wasn't a huge fan of the service. Our waiter had a very awkward way about him and made no attempts to greet us, or really talk to us at all. He just took our orders and brought the food. Maybe that's the way they want it? I don't know, but by the time we had gotten our food, the place was completely packed and the service from there on was virtually non-existent. Aside from having a very friendly and enthusiastic woman, I'm assuming the owner, visit us one time at the beginning of the meal, the service was lacking in a big way.\n\nWe started off our meal with their complimentary bread basket and an order of the Lasagna Explosion. Their take on the classic bread basket is pretty cool and those little garlic knots are quite addicting. The Lasagna Explosion wasn't quite as good as I expected though. I went to cut one in half to see the inside and it actually exploded out a ton of water. Yup, just clear water. Their sauce here is just way too watery, almost to the point where it has very little to no flavor. Apart from that, I liked that the Explosion is packed pretty good with cheese and it's a good size appetizer for $8, but it was just okay at best and I wouldn't recommend them.\n\nOn the menu itself, there's actually a ton of choices. If you're in the mood for pizza, they have that. If you're in the mood for a classic pasta dish, they have that. If you're in the mood for seafood, they have that. I could go on, but it's pointless. For as small as the place is, I was really surprised to see how many things they offer and there's bound to be something for everyone. I ended up ordering the Cavatelli with Broccoli Rabe and hot sausage. As I expected, the pasta was cooked perfectly. However, the amount of sausage in the plate was a bit disappointing and since the pieces were so tiny, it added very little to the overall taste. The broccoli rabe was decent though. It wasn't bitter and had great texture. All in all, just another okay dish.\n\nAs far as pricing goes, it's actually not too bad. We only ended up spending a little over $80 before tip, for 4 adults and 1 child. Since there's other things on their menu that I'd like to try, mainly dessert items like the chocolate canoli, I would possibly stop by again if I was in the area. But with mediocre service and okay food, I can't say I'd be coming back for the regular food anytime soon.
