Too Saucy Pasta Bar (Highland at Jefferson)

The union used to have joint like this that I enjoyed as a student

Will have to check it out

Damn. Ellic needs one of these.

Never been to Fazoli's.

Sounds like my kind of place

Looks like a decent concept. I could imagine it making it in Vegas, but with a much improved decor, a higher end food ingredients display area, a hipper, rustic italian looking menu, gas burners (and more of them), add sandwiches, a small selection of wine and beer and increase the average price to $12. And I would probably call it an Osteria.

Too Saucy is a new restaurant in town. We are here to serve pasta just the way you like it! We are a casual diner, offering customizable pasta dishes.

No, it's not a diner. Not at all.

I recommend: We are a fast casual restaurant. Still not great, but more accurate and descriptive.

And I would have gone with pastaria instead of pasta bar.

Drove by there the other day. My first thought: this place won’t last a year.

Which Olive Garden do you manage?

Seems a curious choice for a fast casual concept in these carb conscious times.

There are a couple of nicer apartment complexes in that area so there's always drive by traffic and if you don't want to cook, I'd think it's a fast, moderately priced option that offers variety.. Plus, younger guys and girls (who are the majority of apartment residents) that run or work out need the extra carbs. So there's a good market to reach there.
