I could be biased since I've been used to going to Olive Garden for Italian, but the way the place appeared looked more like I was going into a bistro or cafe.Our server/waitress didn't seem like they were enjoying the day, and that attitude was washed down on us and made feel a little uncomfortable. The menu options seemed more vegan/vegetarian and lacked enough interest, so I just went for the basic choice.About twenty minutes in and we didn't even get our water until less than five minutes before our food arrived. I tried to get the attention of our waitress or somebody, but nobody bothered. Even the utensils still had food residue on them, which started making me lose my appetite more and more.For an Italian restaurant like this, I did not feel welcome nor included, the atmosphere did not match very well, and the food was not well prepared and looked runny, failing to justify the expensive price for a small bowl of pasta. I hate to be the kind of person to give negative reviews, and maybe it was just one time, but unfortunately that one time was all it took to ruin the experience. You're better off making your own spaghetti or Alfredo.

Unfortunately, my fettuccine shrimp scampi was lacking in garlic, parmesan, olive oil, and parsley, making it a bit bland. I ended up taking most of it home to doctor it up for a midnight snack.
