Party of 5. No wait for a Saturday evening at 4:30pm. Ordered garlic “bread” and it was flat crust pizza like. Flavor not bad for garlic powder and cheese was melted to a caramel color. All of us ordered blue cheese for our house salad. Lettuce crisp and mixed with iceberg and spinach, small slice tomato and two slices pepperoni. Mine had no onion but partner’s had two large slices white onion. Dressing creamy but no chunks of blue cheese. There was enough for the whole salad without drowning it.
I had ricotta gnocchi with added meatballs. Gnocchi cooled quickly which made it sticky. Average taste to meatballs (2). They were not dry nor too tender they would fall apart. Simple spices. The red sauce was average. Not many spices detected but it was not offensive like some sauces that taste like a tin can. Partner had rigatoni with meatballs and mushrooms parmigiana. Plenty of pasta but the mushrooms were from a can - not fresh, 2 meatballs and again the sauce was average. Dish had quantity not quality. One prime rib special which was plentiful and not tough. Side of baked potato was excellent in portion and taste. The pork chop Marsala was a hit. Plenty of meat, lemon sauce not overpowering but the canned mushrooms were a disappointment. Last meal was chicken with mushrooms over bed of rice. Chicken tender, rice plentiful. Three of us shared a bottle of red wine. It was average in taste. One person had Sam Adam’s Oktoberfest beer and complimented how good it tasted.

So in this visit, I tried five different dishes, and the salad. The salad was fine, and the ranch was tasty but runny, i don't mind a runny ranch so i enjoyed it! But i also yried the creamy bluecheese which was giod with some crumbly blue on top but they charges $1.50 for the tiny bit of crumbly blue that they put on top of the small salad. For.my entree i had the meatball dream and the sauce was similar to tomato paste.The roll they used was delicious.And I believe they used mozzarella on it, which was good.But the sauce was overwhelming, and the meatballs were just small meatballs that were cut up into little chunks, so it was a cup of sauce with little meatball chunks in it in a roll, and far from a meatball dream. The next thing I tried was the chicken fettuccine alfredo, which didn't have much flavor and the broccoli was huge chunks and it was served in a bowl that was too small, and the alfredo sauce was separating and just unappetizing. The next thing I tried was the New York strip and it left a lot to be desired. It had no flavor it was asked to be cooked rare. It was medium-rare
And it didn't have any flavor to it.There was no taste, it just tasted like a whole lot of nothing. The baked potato that came with it however, was delicious.
We ordered a cheese pizza for our two children.And they love pizza but refused to eat it.They to it smelled weird and upon inspection, and tasting it myself it didn't taste good.The sauce wasn't good.The crust was good!!! but the cheese was like a stinky weird cheese and my kids were not about it. The last thing I tried was the pork molonase and that was absolutely amazing, but I was 28 dollars.
Don't shoot the messenger, Im just trying to give an accurate review. This is my opinion amd the opinions of the 5 other people that I went with.
ALSO, ITS CASH OR CHECK ONLY.

New HAVEN TAVERN style pizza here is fire 🔥 you can’t get anything like it unless you drive to Sals Apizza in New Haven CT, right up there with the big dogs. 9.2 score Salad dressing with the old 1930’s bottle 10.0 out of 10.0 😚

So very tired of every time we do take out, we can't eat the salads!! The ice burg lettuce is always brown and unappetizing! We've had the same issue for the last five and a couple of times in house, as well! Something has to be changed! Please????? I love your salad dressing and really enjoy it as part of our meal!

Went for dinner around 5pm the server didn’t introduce the special menu but she did in the other table. Waited 30 minutes to get our main dish.
