Media Exposure:  You Gotta Eat Here

What:  Italian food

What a clever name with a built in mnemonic. Even if you forget the name, you'll say it trying to recall it. "I can't remember but it was that Italian place."

Porchetta Havarti - great soft tender pork but lacking deeply infused flavor. The sauce was a Western style barbeque sauce which ruined it for me. Great crunchy ciabatta bread, slight heat, but the sweet barbeque sauce took away from the experience.

Veal Panino with rapini. It was meh. I chose the wrong sandwich, their quality slipped, or both.

5/31/18. 1:11 PM. Confirmed. The food is meh. The service is snobbish. It's a money grubbing operation charging dollars for the penny.

1/14/19 6:56 PM Pizza. I returned, breaking the cycle of Indian food.

1/16/19 12:38 PM. Colleagues wanted to dine here.

What is this salad called?

Bottom Line: Hype. When I think of all the places that could be showcased, this isn't one of them.
