The Italian Chef

My husband recently got a Living Social coupon for this place so we decided to use it. I called in our order and he was picking it up on the way home. He calls me and lets me know we need to find a new place for dinner– as he walked in to pick up our order, the music was loud so they did not hear him come in. He then watched the cook making our food licking the spoon that she used in our food… as she was trying the food! That was so beyond disgusting. My husband then told her to cancel the order as he just SAW her lick the spoon as she cooked as she said no, it was her fingers! As if her putting her fingers in the food and then licking them is much better… He walked out and we are not using that Living Social coupon. Just be aware it is NOT a clean place.

I admit it. I didn’t step foot in this place. But I did receive a handy take-​out menu in my mailbox with some great deals and not-​too-​shabby looking prices. And without this, I would have NEVER tried them. Even with it, I probably wouldn’t have if I weren’t craving something Italian.
The staff are as friendly as can be on the phone, very accommodating to menu changes too, and they do take-​out & delivery for a $ 1.50 charge, not too bad. The take-​out arrived quickly, within 30 minutes.
I usually stand by our favorite Italian places and am not one to venture out and try new Italian since I feel once you find something good, why change it? But my place doesn’t deliver. They do. And well, the food, was surprisingly amazing.
They have huge portion sizes, especially the baked ziti. All entrees come with a salad and garlic bread, and I mean a whole container of salad and another of garlic bread. The garlic bread is way different than I’ve ever had, squares of toasty loaf sprinkled with cheese and with dried olives inside (i think thats what those are). The lobster ravioli were just right, fluffy enough and fully stuffed. And the pink sauce, is really salty, and at times too creamy, but in total exactly what I was in the mood for. Like I said, I was surprised and didn’t think it’d be so good. But it was.
