The seats are rickety and really uncomfortable. I'm a small girl, but when I sat down I was afraid the chair was going to colapse. The bread that was brought to our table was delicious. It was crusty and soft on the inside. Sadly, this was the highlight of the meal. We started with the mushroom crostinis ($6). They basically consisted of a tiny slice of bread with some kind of mushroom puree on top and a dusting of powdery parmazean. They were not warm like the menu indicated. They were cold, tasteless, and pretty gross. (There is a picture of them uploaded.) The salad that came with our entrees was fine. It was just iceberg with about two each of tomatoes and cucumbers. It was heavily dressed. \r

Our entrees were lazagna with meat sauce ($16.50) and the chicken botticelli ($18.50) which the menu said was a chicken breast in a creamy sauce with prosciutto and provalone. If that was prociutto, I'm Princess Beatrice. It was lunch meat from the grocery store. This was a terrible dish. The cream sauce had no real flavor and was very runny. There was a side of fetticini noodles mixed with maranara. The maranara had a really weird flavor I couldn't place. It was too sweet and lacked seasoning. The lazagna was really flat and was basically a layer of noodles, some ricotta, then another layer of noodlles with meat sauce poured on top. It wasn't really lazagna. The sauce had that same sweet flavor. It was the biggest disapointment after the crostinis. \r

We decided to try the homemade chocolate coconut ice cream ($4)that was on the special board in front. It was delicious. The chocolate flavor was subtle and the coconut gave it some nice texture. The service was good, although a little slow at times. Our bill came to $50 and the Groupon saved us $20. So after tip, it was $40, which I thought was overpriced for the quality of food. Save your money and go to Italian Gardens or Iaria's.
