VERY TASTY FOOD, NICE WINE

Posted by luvyummyfood on 3/24/2009

I came here for lunch with my boyfriend during the week and it was really quiet. I had been there before, but a long time ago. I remembered that it was good though. I ordered eggplant parmesan by recommendation of a friend. She was right, it was absolutely delicious! Thinly sliced and lightly breaded with a flavorful sauce. I recommend this place. Yes, it's maybe a little pricey, but if you're looking for somewhere nice to relax and enjoy yourself, give this place a shot. I would say it's worth it!

At least there is covered parking

Have dined here over the years and the quality has dropped significantly in the past year. Our last visit was very disappointing. My entree, the Lasagna, was salty, barely hot and had one corner that was inedible, cooked to a vulcanized state as if micro-waved. My wife's veal was tough and again not very hot, it also appeared to have been through the microwave to reheat. The service was deplorable, the waiter returned to our table and asked if we were ready to order some five minutes after having taken our order. The restaurant was less than 1/4 full at the time (6:30). He did apologize and then immediately returned with our entrees, the time between order and service being less than ten minutes, leading us to believe that the meals had been pre prepped and just reheated. The after dinner Cappuccino tasted as if made with stale coffee and skim milk and their signature dessert, the sponge with pistachios had that three day old uncovered refrigerator taste. Not a $60 meal! NOT RECOMMENDED! Go to Ruby's next door, feed a family of five for the same price.

nice, but a bit overpriced...

Overall I had a decent meal and experience at this place, but the cost for the meal was a bit much for what you get. I don't have a problem spending money for a nice meal, but when you get into this price range my expectations go up with the price and if they are not met then I feel a bit cheated. While the food and staff were fine; I have not been back since.

Why isn't zero stars available? One is too good for this place.

This is the worst restaurant I have been to... EVER! The bread was store bought. I had the Spaghetti Nello. A dish named after the restaurant. You would think it would be their signature dish. Disgusting. If you have to eat at Crystal Court, you're MUCH better off going to Wahoos or Rubys.

best mozzarella marinara and osso bucco

I love this place and am excited to be going down south tomorrow to eat there again. I have taken friends there and it's the best italian food around.. the chef comes out-- Pino- and talks to everyone and will try anything requested if at all possible. every bite has been amazing. yummmmmmmm
