Reviews
I tried to eat at this restaurant several times at lunch-time and have always walked out after seeing the nasty cafeteria-type food sitting under hot heat-lamps. Several dishes containing what I think was supposed to be lasagne but had so much cheese covering the pan I couldn't really tell what the dish was supposed to be. And that was literally the only pasta dish under the hot lights - everything else was vegetables or sausages etc. So after several visits of walking out after seeing the nasty food on display I finally ordered some soup - the minestrone to go. On my way back to my work, half of the soup broth leaked out in my carseat due to the shoddy container. When I opened the container up later to eat it I saw several floating vegetables in a clear, watery, very weak tasting broth. No meat, no pasta, no tomatoes. Just carrots, celery and onions basically with a couple basil leaves floating in it. Simply the worst attempt at minestrone soup I have ever had, and I wasted $6+ to boot! I will never, ever go there again. Deeply disappointed.
