I hate the place to death. But my wife loves it. Today is her b-day and out of ALL places in BR, this is where she wants to go. So I have to take one for the team and go there.

Everytime I'm dragged into that place I usually get the tour of Italy.


What else can I try there that's somewhat decent?




Note: I'll most likely be stopping to McD's on the way home for a pick me up. lol

me and the wife usually go and drink 2 fifths of wine and eat a little.

once the 2nd fifth is gone, it's all good from there.

I like some of their soups (my go to when I go). The Zuppa Toscana or the Chicken Gnocchi is usually what I end up getting with a salad.

Their marinara is so damn salty.

I'm not sure that I've ever heard wine referred to in terms of "fifths"

To the OP, I'm sorry.

Agree on the toscana soup. I worked there about a year and that's probably the best thing there lol. Also you can get soup in lieu of salad

Probably be more economical to just order a handle of it, no?
