Place:

It's a nice place with remarkably comfortable couches and lots of pillows.

Some of the decoration is fake but the general impression made me feel good.


Food:

They offer something that I have not experienced often:  Choose your favorite kind of pasta with a sauce from a list of 11 different sauces.  It's all for $ 6.95 — sounds fair, doesn't it?

I had fettuccini  with a zucchini/olive oil/garlic sauce.  The bread was tasty (especially to pick up the sauce!).  The Chardonnay by the glass was OK and reasonably priced ($ 4.50).  My cappuccino tasted like in Italy ($ 2.25).


Service:

Ouch!  What a grouchy waiter!  This guy was really in a bad mood.  Even when I reminded him that he forgot to put the cappuccino on the bill he just added it to my check without a thank you or a smile.


Overall:

I would go back there to stay away from tourist places — hoping for that friendly and cute waitress instead of the grouchy waiter ... ;-)
