I met up with Amy and Anuja after work for a quick bite since they were headed to the movies right next door. The food here is Italian (obviously from the name!) but it's definitely more your generic, tastes almost from a box and jar type Italian. It's pretty similar to what you would get at a Cheesecake Factory. Or food that I could make at home. I've actually had their pizzas before and they were fine but I was kind of in the mood for pasta so I decided to get the Penne Vodka ($16) since it's not a type of pasta I get a lot or make at home.
I do think $16 is waaay too expensive for the food here. Since it's literally across from Goldman Sachs, they probably think that they can get away with charging more for their food (reminder - there are other companies near you!). When the pasta came out, it looked exactly how I expected. It was the size of a baseball field and there wasn't anything super special to it. They didn't offer to put any cheese on it - even though I probably could have done without the extra calories. The pasta itself was a bit undercooked but overall it was totally an ok dish. Nothing great, but not awful either. Just really overpriced for what it was. It was probably worth $8-10 at best. I wish I had saved half of it so that I could have made it into two meals, but of course I always end up stuffing myself and I finished the whole thing and felt a bit awful later.
I do want to give a shout out for their drinks. I got the Moscow Mule ($12) and it was pretty tasty. I would much prefer to come here to drink instead of eating. If you do want to have some snack-y food, I would recommend getting a pizza and splitting it with your friends instead. Total bill: $75 total for 3 people with tax.
