After a lot of hype, we decided to check the place out. We ordered the calamari for an appetizer, which was mediocre. The maranara didn't taste fresh and the flavors were off. The calamari was okay. We ordered a caesar salad to split and the staff was nice enough to serve it on two plates for us. Unfortunately, the lettuce was not cleaned well enough because there was still dirt on it. Now, I can understand that that may happen every once-in-a-while but I would really like it if I NEVER had to experience E-Coli poisoning. We mentioned the salad to the manager and she was very apologetic.\nMy guest ordered a burger and was more than happy with it. The sauce for the Adriatico pasta plate was not pleasant in flavor or appearance. The dish was more like a noodle soup than anything else. When it comes to Italian food, the noodles should be just wet, NOT swimming. The shrimp that came in the pasta was perfectly cooked and very generously portioned.\nTaking everything in to account, the $45 lunch we had there was just not worth it. I highly doubt we'll return to this restaurant.
