We got a table close to the door but by a wall so the noise level was a little dampened.
I was disappointed over-all in the food. Bill and I shared a pizza and ravioli. The ravioli dish (3 colors of pasta pockets so it was very colorful and the ravioli were big and arranged quite artfully on the plate around a big helping of marinara sauce with lots of chunky tomatoes) was wonderful. The entree stated it included 3 ricotta cheese and 3 crab but i only wanted the cheese. Each ravioli was stuffed to the edges with cheese so i was satisfied with that dish.
But it didn't come with any bread. So for $3.50 we ordered some "wood-fired" bread. It was a large round loaf and i think the dough was the same as their pizza dough. It was tasty and came with olive oil and garlic-basil butter.
The pizza was not good at all. It had artichokes, mushrooms, onions and prosciutto but you'd be hard pressed to actually see any of these ingredients. and the ham was tasteless and difficult to chew; it was tough even though it was a razor thin slice. There was not much sauce and the cheese was gluey but the biggest disappointment was the crust. It was thin but not crispy at all. It was chewy and starchy tasting and took away from the whispers of flavors from the lonely pcs. of mushrooms and solitary onions.
This pizza was $12.
And even though our waiter was cute and almost adorable and had a lovely speaking voice; once he took our order and then delivered it; he forgot about us. The restaurant got packed about this time too.
We won't be back. So Pizza Hut still remains Number One on our list and Tony's Italian Deli stays at the top for pasta dishes. Plus Tony's is about 1/2 the price of Vero's with a more genuine Frank Sinatra-Mafia atmosphere.
