To the dozens of people waiting to get in to Olive Garden, I say try a local place for a change! —RalphMeranto
2007-11-10 18:29:07 Ate here for the first time in Nov. 07. The food was great! I ordered tortellini with calamari and langostinos (sp?). The waitress said they were out of langostinos, and would substitute shrimp if it was okay. The shrimp that came were large and succulent. The calamari was cooked perfectly. Others had the parmigiana combo (chicken and egglant) and a garlic sauce with shrimp over a delicate chicken breast and escarole. Both diners were very happy. The chicken in the garlic sauce was especially tender. They had the best bread I've had in a Rochester Italian restaurant. I had to ask for olive oil for dipping though. The tossed salad served family style had good lettuce but only chick peas, a couple tomato slices and white onion that was a little too strong for a salad. Salads are usually dressed but they accommodated us with dressing on the side. I liked the servers, they were friendly and up to the frequent demands of one member of our party. Don't go here expecting cutting edge decor- think 1960's Italian. —AmyLa
