Italian Village is the quintessential tourist trap Italian restaurant for those visiting Chicago and staying in the loop. Sure, the interior is cool, but I just couldn't help but feel like I was in a restaurant modeled after some sort of Italian Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney World. (That or some scene from Lady and the Tramp, where a fat old cook and his sous chef were going to pop out of the corner and start singing "Toooniiight is the niiiiight... a most beauuutifffffll niiight....")
Food was largely unimpressive given the prices, with way too many simple X in Red Sauce or Y in Alfredo Sauce choices.
Service was good. We had 2 servers for our large group, and they seemed to keep everyone's beverage and food orders straightened out. If you're with the right folks, it can be a fun kitschy time. Luckily, I was. :)
COCKROACH IN THE PENNE!!!
We catered from the Italian Village very recently and as my firend was putting a serving of the penne on his plate, there was a giant dead cockroach in it. I don't think it is acceptable for any food establishment to serve cockroaches to their customers (do a search for "cockroach" within Italian Village, this is not the first cockroach incident here). I cringe at the thought of what I might have possibly eaten here in the past. I've always thought their food was mediocre and over-priced, but now I most definitely will not return.
Dear Italian Village,
Please don't serve me a pile of slop and call it Italian. Don't overcharge my friends credit card because you think we're tipsy because, um, he's in the program, I'm not.
Don't serve me a salad with red onion when I tell ya I can't have them then take said salad back, remove said reds and then try to serve me the salad again. My exploding lips and fingers the minute red onion touches them are proof of your folly.
I'll give you location but really, the pizza was worse than what I recall being served in a school cafeteria. What the hell is going on here? I used to love this place.
The old man must be spinning in his grave!
Oh, Italian Village... You really didn't live up to the hype - AT ALL. My husband and his friends raved about your food and I just didn't think it was all that. Was it ok? Sure!! But not worth the money. Don't think I will ever return, especially with so many fantastic food options in the great city that is Chicago. While there we ordered the Spaghetti Arrabiata with italian sausage - meh!! Lacked punch. We also ordered the eggplant parmigiana - total disappointment. Lacked flavor and the egg plant was a little on the soggy side. Not what you expect from a restaurant's specialty item. Good luck to you, Italian Village. You won't be seeing us again.
Maybe I should have yelped this place before I went to it. My landlord says it's his favorite, but I found it to be lacking. I appreciated the intimacy of where we were seated but I found the food to be okay. We had the mussels to start out with and I had the lobster ravioli that I thought were okay. It felt pricey only because I didn't love my food. The service was okay and the portions were a good size but there's way too many Italian restaurants for me to come back to this one.
Hereyee! Hereyee! Its Jay M back up in the hid-ouse once again for another review of great (and sometimes not-so-great) food from highly unhealthy restaurants that contribute to years being taken off your life. (Sorry, just got done watching the Debbie Downer skit on SNL.)
So today's topic boys and girls is Italian Village. I've always wanted to go to this place since I saw Ferris, Slone and Cameron drive past on their escapade through Chi in Ferris Buellers Day off. If you missed the Italian Village cameo, rent the damn movie and fast forward to that part.
Now let me get on to the damn review:
This place serves great food and the vibe is pretty cool. I had the salmon and, no bs, it may have been the best salmon I ever had. Highly recommended.
Although a cozy little place, Italian Village is not the "real" Italian you probably think it is going into the place. I am not a seeder and wont give any place free promo, but there's a place that starts with the word "Rose" and ends in a word that rhymes with "dud." If you can solve that, see them for authentic.
Ladies and gentlemen, good talk.
We use to go to the Italian Village quite a bit since it was very close to the office. It was an average place but could seat a larger party. Nothing to really write home about.
I ended up there last Tues for lunch. I chose it because I was looking to have a low key lunch were I could discuss some work items with an out of town co-worker.
I do like that you can order a smaller portion of the pasta as the normal size portions are way to large for a lunch setting. The food was decent and the service pleasant. I think our server was a little put off by both of not drinking and ordering the small portions but that was what we wanted and neither of us was going to be pushed into anything.
Probably won't be back anytime soon.
This place is way past its prime. By about 30 years.
My coworkers like to go here as it's close to the office, and I will usually give in and go. Next week, I plan on bringing in food from La Gondola to show them what Italian food is supposed to taste like, which is clearly not airline food like Italian Village serves up.
I've tried several different things, hoping to find at least something I'd like, but it's all pretty mediocre.
Granted, La Gondola has ruined me for all other Italian food, but still, this place is just really, really not good.
I hate to say it since it's the oldest Italian restaurant in the city, but it needs to be put out of its misery.
I have been numerous times to Italian Village, we always go before going to various plays. It has become like tradition to eat at the Italian Village first, we have never once been disappointed with the food or service, it is always superb. It is also great because we valet the car at the restaurant and then are able to walk to the theater and get our car afterwards which always saves us a lot of money on parking fees.
I love the ambiance when you walk into the restaurant (upstairs), it is decorated with lights and its like you have stepped into a different world. We always ask for on their mini private rooms which seats about 8 and it's so cozy, you feel like you are separated from the rest of the restaurant which can be nice to make it a more intimate atmosphere.
I think it is very appropriately priced for what you get and I always recommend it to people when I know they are going to be in the area. Make sure you make reservations though if going on a friday/saturday night or before a play because they tend to get booked fast.
Having tried Vivere a few days earlier, we thought we'd try this third of the restuarants in the building. Where Vivere was my best meal in Chicago last week, Italian Village was the least.
The food wasn't horrible but to echo another review, just very bland. Maybe the spices go to the other two resturants? I had the chicken rotolini and was dissapointed by both the lack of flavor on the fettechini alfredo (I tasted more butter than cheese) and that for the marsala I was given thigh meat that was somehow devoid of the natural flavor dark meat has. If the sauce was really supposed to have been made with a wine sherry and prosciuto, I couldn't taste either.
My wife didn't think her ravioli was anything special either. We both split a canoli desert and agreed it too wasn't anything special.
The service was very good though. Our waiter was very attentive. I also appreciated the atmosphere.
I don't quite understand why this place is so popular. I recently dined here for a business lunch and found the food ok but overpriced and the atmosphere more like something you find at Navy Pier than in the Loop. The fresh fish entrees were basic and well prepared. The two pasta entrees ordered were huge in size and not much better than what you find at the Olive Garden. Service is ok.
7 stars to be exact!
I think it's the oldest Italian restaurant in Chicago so yes, we have to try... My brother celebrated his birthday here and it's such a dining experience. From service (yes, best service), great food I mean GREAT. From appetizer to dessert, impeccable. Portion is not too little or too much and that makes it a lot better.
Fyi, there are 3 restaurants under this one roof and we chose "The Village" because they serve family style.
Can I give this no stars?! It was GOD AWFUL. To be fair we ate in the bottom restaurant but still we paid over $50 for food that tasted like it came straight from a Lean Cuisine box. No lie it was that bad. I would never in a million years come back to this place. Gross. The soup tasted like it was water with a splash of chicken broth with a noodle, my boyfriends "steak" looked like a hamburger, and so on. Nothing was even slightly decent tasting.
I was downtown today for another interview; after it, I was making a choice between Potbellys and Italian Village; I chose Italian Village. I think I made a mistake and experienced cognitive dissonance in the process--definitely should have gone to Potbellys.
I went with the spinach and artichoke lasagna, and it didn't even taste like lasagna. What's more, I thought the entree cost 10.00, and they rang me up for 13.95. This created confusion, and the waiter never apologized nor did he change the price. Apparently, the vegetarian lasagna is nearly four bucks more expensive than the meat one. That doesn't make sense.
I'm probably not returning.
Italian Village is a great little place to grab a bite while downtown without breaking the bank.
The Original Italian Village is the upstairs restaurant. It's really cute with little lights and it like sitting on an Italian Piazza.
We had the grilled calamari (great), shrimp pasta (great) and chicken marsala (good).
The service was good, most of the servers are older, Italian men. Service is always quick and they do a good job of moving their tables. Sometimes I just want to sit a little bit longer.
Overall, it's a good place in a pinch.
Cute little restaurant, definitely tacky but I would have it no other way. My girlfriend and I went for our last night in Chicago. It was a perfect end to our trip. The Agnollotti was superb, the fettuccini alfredo was rather bland however. Still yummy and a great time, would definitely go back.
A friend and I were here last weekend and went to the Village (upstairs restaurant). It was a busy Friday night, but we only had a very short wait for two. Our waiter was prompt and friendly, took our drink order, and brought out the fresh baked bread, which we devoured.
We took plenty of time to look over the menu. I had been there once before, but sat in the lower level restaurant. Our waiter was almost TOO attentive while we were looking over the menu. Twice he came and asked if we had any questions which rather irked me. I know I have a very bad habit of reading the menu cover to cover and probably more than once as I decide what I want, but my theory is that we were in no hurry so the waiter shouldn't be either.
I ordered the Meat Ravioli in the spicy Arribiata sauce and my friend ordered the Cannelloni in the cream sauce. Our order came out really quick. Thats ok, but we had just finished the loaf of bread in front of us because we thought we would have some wait between ordering and our food. Apparently not. My ravioli dish was good and a generous (but not gluttonous portion), but there wasn't anything to write home about. I had this before but this time the sauce was much spicier than normal. I drank two glasses of water just during the entree portion!
I tried a bit of the Cannelloni dish and it was AMAZING! If I didn't think she'd notice, I would have tried swapping dishes. The next time I go back, I would definitely get that.
Two chocolate lovers just couldn't say no to desert, not where there is a chocolate mouse one. It was great and came out in a little glass. It was very rich - and you'd definitely need to share it, but it was a nice end of the meal.
I love Italian food but had overpriced meals - the prices here were reasonable.
Sometimes you get small cues for things to come, and I kicked myself for not walking away at the front door. I wished I would have eaten at Olive Garden, even though I hate that place. As you entered, there was a urine smell at the bottom of the stairs, I figured it was mustiness but you would think they would control that.
Everything was bland. I have never had to add salt to my food, and my entire party found ourselves seasoning everything. The bread was nothing special, the minestrone soup tasted like it came out of a can, and the meat sauce was again bland.
The waitress was pleasant and inquired about our food. I told her it was so-so and offered to remedy the situation, but what can you do when they needed a different cook? She sent the manager over, and he gave some kind of comedy routine speech, before asking what he could do for us. Upon leaving he repeated "Mille Grazie" multiple times.
Won't be returning for sure. By the way, the restrooms are totally cramped, and judging from the condition of the place, I think there was seepage onto the first floor, hence the smell.
Delicious!!!
The Italian Village was visit #3 in the spring-break-a-thon of visits that I received. This time, it was my aunt, uncle, and cousin. My cousin was staying at the Palmer House and my aunt and uncle drove down to see him and go for dinner (or as my aunt still says "supper.") We picked Italian Village because it was close to the Palmer House.
The food was YUUUUMMY!!! My aunt and I each had the swordfish and my cousin and uncle both had steaks. All were delicious! We managed to get some dessert in our full bellies too. Creme brulee and dense chocolate cake. OMG, so drool worthy!
I didn't get to look at their wine selection or try any cocktails because this was an ice tea and water dinner, but next time for sure.
Went to Italian Village during the week for dinner. I found the atmosphere a little "kitschy" in the bar area of the Village, but at the same time very pleasant. The painted murals on the wall were interesting, because of their 3-D nature and the light bulbs for house lights. The waitstaff was extremely welcoming and helpful. I don't think we had to wait long for anything, be it topping off our waters or a refill of a glass of wine
The food itself was delicious. We had grilled calamari which was cooked perfectly (just chewy enough). The pasta with shrimp was excellent and the chicken risotto special I ordered was very good, it took all my restraint to not eat the whole thing in one sitting!
Overall, very affordable and very interesting place to eat.
Quite possibly one of the grossest meals I've ever experienced. Let me lay it out for you:
Five guests squeezed into a booth for 4 in a weird little cubbyhole in the back of the restaurant. My poor father had about 1/2 of a table in front of him for the meal. I'm surprised the server didn't notice how uncomfortable he was and offer to re-seat us.
Speaking of servers, our waiter was the pits. He showed up for work with an obvious flu/cold situation. Is that even sanitary to serve people when you're that sick? And have no voice? His timing was all off and he creepily lingered around our table during the meal. It just felt weird.
Our appetizer was a greasy and gross calamari. My baked manicotti was the most unappetizing pasta dish I've ever eaten. It was a few tubes of overcooked pasta with totally bland ricotta filling, swimming in watery tomato sauce and a huge pile of mozzarella cheese on top. And it was cold in the middle. Just all together icky.
You know when your party starts talking about how good Portillo's would taste at that moment the food is not good.
I won't be back. Ever.
Bad. Amongst the worst veal parmisan that I have ever had. Big portion, but mushy and flavorless. Served with a small side of bland pasta in a sauce that could be confused for tomato soup. Bread was lousy too. Salad marginal. The only highlight was the breadsticks on the bar.
The Village makes Olive Garden look like Trotter's. I'm amazed that people have given this place good reviews. I've been forced here for several work lunches but my worst experience happened when I wound up here for dinner one night. It's a long story, but basically I was stuck in the loop with a friend and we were STARVING, so we went to the closest place we could think of. I already knew that the décor was tacky, the service was pretentious, and the food was mediocre (at best), but I figured I could get something simple and be fine.
I ordered the lasagna and my friend ordered the rotolini di pollo, both of which came with salads. Our salads came out immediately and then literally 2 minutes later - no joke - out came our entrees. We were stunned as we hadn't even gotten through a few bites of our salad. In fact, we hadn't even gotten bread yet. When our food came over, we told them we just got our salads and that it was kind of ridiculous that our food could already be ready. Without an apology, the waiter said "ok, I'll bring them back later." Before we could say something about not wanting our entrees to sitting around under a heat lamp, he ran off. In all honesty, we were there for a quick meal but not THAT quick.
When the food came out the second time it of course looked like it had been sitting under the heat lamp. My lasagna was bland and my friends chicken had pieces that seemed raw. She didn't really realize right away, so we didn't even bother asking the waiter to take it back. At that point, we just wanted to get out of there. This place doesn't deserve to still be in business...
Went here last night for my boyfriend and my 1 year anniversary. We went to "the village" and the decor was amazing. beautiful. The food on the other hand, just okay. I got the baked mostacholli and there was no flavor.
We first ordered our appetizer which was the pizza bread while we were still deciding on what to get for dinner. about 5 minutes later our waiter comes back and takes our order. a couple minutes later our appetizer comes out. I took one bite before our main course came out. WHAT? i remembered ordering that no longer than two minutes ago. my guess is that is was left overs from lunch. ach.
now as im eating a sworm of EMT's walk in and a man is coughing up a lunch. the place went dead. this guy is spitting and coughing up everywhere. im assuming there was food stuck in his throat but he wasnt choking....interesting. it was pretty nasty.
Our waiter was pleasant, but even he was surprised when our food came out within a minute of ordering. he actually said "Fu*k, that was fast" yep it sure was.
Overall, decor was wonderful, food was just under okay. I want to our to the other restaurants in the building. I'm not sure if the food will be any different. Also surprised that when I called to make a reservation for "the village" they didnt accept any.
Go here for a romantic date, but dont expect much in the food.
If you want anything resembling real homemade Italian food...
DON"T GO HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Italian mother found this restaurant online, and wanted to experience a good, old fashioned Italian meal in Chicago. We went upstairs to the Village. Ambiance was kitchy. It reminded us of Epcot Center in Disney World.
First course was a small pizza to share, and and order of Beef Carpaccio. While we were able to eat these items, no good comments were made. The crust on the pizza was crackery, with very little sauce, and what was on it had no flavor. The beef was missing something as well.
Next came salads. We ordered with a vinagrette, and got Jewel-Osco low grade Balsamic with no Oil or Spices. We did not finish these.
Our entrees were the Chicken Rotolini with Fettuccini Alfredo, and Eggplant Parmesan. WHAT A JOKE!!! The Chicken tasted like stewed chicken, and the alfredo was flavorless. It was advertised to come with Prosciutto and sausage, and we found none.
The eggplant parmesan was unrecognizable as any true Italian would have served.
All in all, we were very disappointed. We have no plans to return, and cannot recommend this restaurant.
A tourist trap??? I am highly insulted by that comment because I was a tourist in Chicago and definitely loved the place. This is the oldest Italian restaurant in Chicago, and you can definitely feel the history in the room. We started off with a bottle of wine from their wine list that was just a few pages longer than War and Peace. I then ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, which was very good, and they can also do half-orders which is very nice if you didn't bring a gargantuan appetite. I thought the service here was incredible, and it seemed like as soon as you asked for something, it was there in seconds. Amazing!! We did see one angry customer (this guy was a real jerk) who was mad when he left that his takeout food was thrown away. The wait staff then offered to make him a new order (so nice), but the angry patron refused saying he was too busy, followed by one of the great comments of all time by the waiter, "how about I just follow you out?" I think he meant that he would run after him, but out of context that was an amazingly hilarious comment. Gotta love this place!!
I've been here many times over the years, and have never had a bad experience. The food is alawys fantastic, the wait staff is impeccable. I love their lasagna, chicken marsala, and their ravioli's!
I do think they are better for dinner, than lunch.. but that is only because it's tough to eat so much food in the middle of the day!
I have eaten here twice and I think A-OK is a great description. The soup is OK, the meals are fine, nothing stellar, but it is also not very expensive with a fair portion. My sole concern is that the food always comes out fast... Almost too fast, since it would seem to say that they have always prepared everything in advance and you could get some left overs (but each time I have eaten here it has been quite fine -- but I also ate lunch here at lunch hours.)
Now rarely do I comment on the decor of a place but this place is just a interesting place... It may not be the best, but is far from the worst...
I was waffling between 3 and 4 stars but the serving sizes and the decor pushed it into 4 stars (plus each time I have eaten here I have had great company so that just adds to my good feelings about the place).
I like Paul's review below:
"Not EVERYTHING was bad here but the food docked at least a star and a half.
Ambiance: Meh. This is like graduating from Olive Garden and coming into the city for the first time.
Service: Great. Our server and host were prompt and polite
Food: I'd go back to Olive Garden first."
Those are pretty much the exact words I used to describe Italian Village to a co-worker this morning. "I'd go back to Olive Garden first." To which she replied, "I like Olive Garden!". Duh, me too. Find my review.
Anyhow, I had the seafood ravioli which was described as "mixed seafood" in a dumpling. The seafood filling was undistinguishable. I think most of it was just whitefish. There were 3 bay scallops, itty bitty ones, sprinkled on top and 4 small shrimp evenly scattered too. I was pretty disappointed. The sauce was described as a "creamy tomato sauce", but it was really tangy and hardly creamy at all. For all that tang I'd expect a little heat or spice, but nothing. Really disappointing. The dish cost about $18.
Both times I've been here I've been put in the back room. It's the smallest room I've ever seen. Seriously smaller than my bedroom, maybe 10x12. And there were 7 tables crammed in there. I was seated in the corner and had to ask the guy next to me to move a little so I could get in. Kinda ridiculous. If it weren't for the mirror they put up it'd be super claustrophobic.
The service was good, though. The owner came around twice to make sure everything was good. Very friendly man and he complimented my tattoo. HA!
I don't think I'll come back.
I love eating upstairs at Italian Village. The meatballs are so good. And, some of the best bread and olive oil with parmesan cheese in the city. (Same at all three restaurants within the village).
The food isn't the best in the city, but it is good, and the atmosphere and history of it all makes this a must try in the Chi.
Huge meatballs too.
We were visiting from out of town and our friend had recommended Italian Village, very happy that he did.
During our first visit, our son requested a vegetarian meal and the chef came to discuss the menu & preparation. The food was tasty, setting was fun and the service was friendly/attentive.
The second time we came back with a reservation for 14 people - that included 11 of my son's college friends. As it turns out he brought along two more friends and the staff did not blink, they were very accommodating. We went on to have a festive evening, great meal that was reasonably priced.
Grazie tante Village!
I just don't get how some reviewers can give this place 4 or 5 stars unless they live in the middle of South Dakota (no insult intended) and the closest thing to Italian food is a can of Franco American spaghetti or Chef Boyardee ravioli.There must be hundreds of neighborhood Italian restaurants in Chicago that put this place to shame. Over the years I've been dragged here by out of area business associates. I've eaten on all 3 levels and found the food to be from embarasingly poor to mediocre on all three levels. Just because the wait staff greets you in Italian does not make the place an acceptable Italian restaurant.
Not EVERYTHING was bad here but the food docked at least a star and a half.
Ambiance: Meh. This is like graduating from Olive Garden and coming into the city for the first time.
Service: Great. Our server and host were prompt and polite
Food: I'd go back to Olive Garden first.
There was plenty of food but the quality was sub-par. I had the Italian Antipasto for an appetizer and it was one little piece of cheese, one shrimp, few meats and piled with olives. Presentation aside, it tasted as if it was all made the night before and left in the fridge until "order up!"
Cannelloni for the main dish. I'd rather drink dirty bathwater. The cream sauce was so thick it started to congeal so I ended up eating a few bites of someone's lasagna, which was pretty good.
At the end of the day, I won't be coming here again.
I came here last night with friends to celebrate NYE and my birthday. We went to The Village, located upstairs, and it was lovely. The ambiance was romantic, dimly lit and the whole place beautifully painted with murals.
The service was great, upon hearing me say it was my birthday, the waiter notified a manager and out of nowhere came this old, large, happy Italian man singing/screaming happy birthday with a piece of cake, including a pink candle, pink is my favorite color! When it came time to say my name, he said Miss America. Loved it.
The food was pretty good. Nothing spectacular, but good. Portions are HUGE and prices are pretty decent for the area and servings. The martini I enjoyed was way yummy, but pricey.
I'd love to come back and enjoy another dinner here.
Doesn't live up to its reputation.
Not bad. Not my mom's cooking and not the best Italian in the city, but all the entrees are good, standard Italian fare. The real Italian cheesecake, though, was the best part. I'll be thinking about it...
I only had takeaway lasagna during lunch, but it was delicious and everything I could hope and dream for.
3.5 Stars
NOT a good place for vegetarians. There is less than a handful of vegetarian-friendly dishes on their menu. Their soups are made from chicken broth, so watch out. Unfortunately, most dishes like the lasagna are pre-made with meat sauce, so they can't be modified. My husband and I dined here for lunch, and was slightly shocked by the prices. Definitely not cheap, even the lunch specials ($9 - $20 for entrees). We split Tortelli Tre Formaggi. My husband wasn't too hungry. The waiter was nice to evenly split the salad (with our choice of dressing: french on mine, italian on his) and the entree. The Tortelli wasn't anything to rave about, but it was appetizing. The tomato-basil sauce shouldn't be confused with traditional marinara made from tomato paste. Instead, simply crushed tomatoes seasoned with basil to allow the flavors of the pasta to come through.
The service, however, was great. From the moment we entered and left, we were welcomed and treated like guests. I was worried that the server would be really annoyed by us splitting an entree ("gosh, what cheapskates"), but he (Johnny) was extremely nice. It was great of him to split the salad and entree onto two separate plates instead of letting Curtis mooch off my food with a fork. Seriously, the people at Italian Village were really warm and hospitable. Thus I must up the star rating to 4 instead of 3.
Italian Village is recommended for carnivores, but vegetarians need to proceed with caution.
If you think Maggiano's is fine dining and you think the Loop is the hotspot of the Chicago restaurant industry, then Italian Village is the place for you.
My parents love this restaurant, and I love my parents, so I go to Italian Village on occasion. The food isn't very good, the service is basic, yet the place is constantly packed. Last time around I ordered the mussels in marinara sauce as an appetizer and a large grilled chicken salad for dinner. The mussels were rubbery and tasted fishy. The chicken salad appeared to have hunks of romaine mixed in with the standard baby greens (arugula, spinach, etc), which was an odd flavor combination. It also had orange wedges in it, and the seeds had not been taken out of the oranges. Blegh.
Their extensive wine list leaves plenty of options for those of you who want to add a $100+ bottle of wine to your unappetizing meal, but if you want a decent, more reasonably priced wine, you will have to spend several minutes with the menu as I did. I finally settled on a $30 bottle of cote du rhone, which was quite good. I'm giving one star for this bottle of wine, which is the only way I could possibly make it through the meal.
Cozy atmosphere and good food. I got the caprese salad for appetizer which was pretty good, and then the lasagna which is flagged as a house specialty. The lasagna was good and I had enough for leftovers. For dessert, I got the tiramasu and tried a bite of the mousse and both were a bit too rich. Would get the cannoli next time.
Service was great though -- our waiter was very attentive.
To qualify why I only gave 3 stars: While the lasagna was good, it wasn't SPECTACULAR so I wouldn't crave or make a special effort to come back...which is why it didn't make 4 stars. I also think that my husband can make a better home-made lasagna so I not sure again that I would go out of my way to come here again especially since they said the lasagna was their house specialty.
