Yet another new restaurant opening in that dead zone, that has claimed so many before it. Anyone got the scoop on it?

What else was it? Black Dog, End Zone, a few others?

I've only been down here a few years now so I don't really know about any of those places.

Didn't realize it was open already. I may give it a shot before it eventually dies.

Decided to try this place tonight.
I was impressed. Standard Italian fare but what we ordered was done well. Food quality was comparable to Little Village but probably 50% cheaper or so.
They were probably 80% full at 7PM so maybe if word spreads they will make it.
I'd recommend giving them a shot.

Just want to give an update on this place. My wife and I checked it out tonight. I thought the food was really good. When I say really good, I'm not saying it is high end italian food but for what it is, I enjoyed it.
Wife went safe and had the shrimp alfredo. I didn't try so I can't comment but she said it was good.
I had the seafood diavolo and thought it was great. Absolutely loaded with lump crab, crawfish, and shrimp and I found the sauce to be very good as well with just the right spice to it.
Not that one really has anything to do with the other but the service is 100 times better than the restaurant that was there before Italian Bowl, La Mestiza. You could tell our waitress was very new and nervous but really wanted to do a good job and I thought she did. Very attentive but not over the top and bothersome.
I know this isn't a great review as I'm not really good at this stuff but just thought I would let you guys know that it is worth going to imo. Hope they make it.

Did they have any unique menu items? Sounds like the food you ordered was pretty traditional.
How are the prices?
What about the alcoholic beverages?

Yeah, didn't notice anything too unique. Mostly traditional stuff.
- Veal Parmesan, eggplant parmesan, chicken parmesan, ravioli, lasagna, chicken picotta, veggie lasagna, couple different alfredo dishes....pretty basic stuff.
Noticed on their menu they do different sandwiches for lunch...meatball, muffelata, eggplant parmesan poboy, italian sausage poboy.

My seafood diavolo was around 15 bucks. Her shrimp alfredo was $10 or so I think.
Each came with a house salad that was nothing special but good enough.

They had a pretty decent looking drink menu with different martinis and things of that nature if you are into that sort of thing. We didn't drink. Wife is pregnant and I was being responsible...for once.
I did notice their happy hour is from 4-7 I think...Monday-Friday and they were advertising $1.50 draft both domestic and import. No clue what beers they have though.

Gotcha. That's fine if it is well-executed.

Damn, I hate throwaway house salads.

That's really what I was curious about. I'd be surprised if a place like that offered anything off the beaten path.

I am pretty sure I saw a $1 martini happy hour

Tried this place a few weeks ago.
Nobody at our table was happy with the food.
I had the stuffed bell peppers and they weren't very good at all. Didn't even finish them.
Wife had chicken parm. said it was terrible.
kids had fettucine alfredo. Didn't eat half of it. When they normally clean the plate.
Honestly, don't even remember the bill total. But, i have had better italian food at olive garden.
i don't think it'll make it a year.

Did you try this dish at Maggio's before? If so how would it compare? I miss Joey and his cooking.
