Redeeming qualities: the portions are large but that's where it ends. The plates range from $10-16, so I expect a certain quality if I will be paying for something like that.

1. The salad was small and bland, mostly consisting of the tasteless Iceberg kind, 2-3 cucumber slices, 1-2 tomato slices, and some black olives if I remember right. The house dressing tastes good but it is delivered in a small container in which the spices sink to the bottom, making it a little hard to get to them unless you either dip the salad pieces or pour the whole thing on top.

2. The noodles were well cooked, not bloated - BUT - the Alfredo sauce was really bland. I'm sure there was garlic and onion in it, but there were no real traces. I can't believe I'm saying this, but a Ragu sauce - you know, the canned one - would have had a stronger, cheesier taste. This taste was more on the creamier side. No pepper that I could discern. Now, the sauce for the Tuscon plate was... well... the house dressing. It was good but for that kind of money I would expect maybe a little more mozzarella cheese and some more diced tomato.

4. The garlic butter bread, I assume, was supposed to be infused with garlic but it was mostly warm bread that was soaking in warm butter. The delicacy of toasted bread or at the least of garlic were woefully absent.

5. The tea was too sweet so I couldn't tell if it was instant or brewed. The coffee was too weak even though my mom asked for regular.

6. There only seemed to be a single waitress on staff who was great to her regulars, which were many on that Saturday we went, but she seemed a little curt with us - my mom, my little brother, and myself.

7. Variety was lacking but it's understandable for a small venue.

So was the food and service terribly bad? No. It wasn't. But again, if I am going to be paying about $48 then I expect a certain quality even if the portions are not that filling. For a few more dollars I could have gone to Olive Garden or Corino's, which is not authentic but it's at least has slightly better salad, much better bread, and average pasta.

Maybe I'm just better off cooking at home.
