After several failed attempts at trying to get some people out there, Amy and I just went for lunch. It's located a few doors down from the Yours Truly that everyone living in the 44124/44143 area code know about. The interior was clean with only 4-5 booths. Much smaller than I thought it would be. There's an open kitchen and a display case full of desserts and fresh pasta (drools).
We started off with a large salad ($6). They split the large salad for us and it was still huge and generous with toppings of cheese, cucumbers and tomato wedges. We were both not a huge fan of the dressing but it was definitely not bad.
Next up was a slice of pizza...cuz you gotta try the pizza, right? The pizza was a thick, square crust that isn't normally our "type" of pizza, but it was well cooked. The bottom was toasted and not burnt. The middle was soft with a bit of chewiness. The sauce wasn't too sweet and there was an appropriate amount of cheese on it.
Amy liked her cavatelli with eggplant parmesan ($9), even though the pasta was too al dente. My spaghetti and meatballs ($9) were pretty good but the pasta was too soggy.
All in all, I liked the food. The place was clean. The staff was friendly. The prices are high for lunch. And the paper plates and take out containers didn't help to justify the prices either. It didn't blow me out of the water, but I will definitely try it again sometime.
