Maybe it used to be better? Way too pricy for below-average food. 9/14/2006

I drive by here every day and finally decided to try it out. Big mistake. My roommates and I were suckered into a $33 antipasto platter that had three slices each of supermarket-quality mortadella and prosciutto and even worse salami with calamari that tasted like it was made by somebody who specializes in over-breaded onion rings. The squid itself was fresh, but was ruined by the preparation. Based on the only other review here, I ordered the veal saltimbocca. It was barely edible! I also tried a sausage-based fusilli special. Just barely better. The meal came to about $40/person with no drinks. If you want to spend that kind of money, go to the North End or to Antonia's in Davis. At least you'll get your money's worth! Pros: not many. friendly service and convenient location? Cons: bad food, overpriced more
