Friend in Round Rock recommended due to how close it was to their place, at which I was staying; they'd not had the food though. Went in while passing by one day, to check out menu, I took a paper menu with me, it boasted top ingredients, or great ingredients. I asked about their pastas, how much comes in one serving, he said it is a good size. So I went a day or two later, ordered two pastas to-go, one with garlic and basil and olive oil [the flavor was good, but felt and became stomach ill some hours later]. The second pasta [spaghetti with tomato sauce], which I saved for the next day as was going to be busy and needed something on hand. I ate it cold and the sauce was good, though chintzy.....very chintzy. They give bread square rolls that are garlic bread. I have to watch cholesterol and asked if next time I could ask for some without butter. He said no, they are made with butter, I asked if it was real. It is a large gallonesque liquidy product with soy or soybean oil and is a "butter substitute"----btw, the garlic in the first pasta was minced from a jar, not sure what made me ill, but gather maybe basil or garlic, if old garlic or if basil not washed properly. Though both pastas were what I would deem chintzy, the flavor was great in the basil oil version and pretty good on the tomato sauce version, and I figured I'd give it another shot, because it is closeby, I'm busy, and it seemed decent-plus, flavorwise, especially the second pasta. I did not eat the bread. I ate the first pasta there, and applied the parmesan from a sugarlike dispenser, was different than any I had ever had before, tiny, not flaky or soft, was dust or glasslike. Not much flavor, maybe it was old. As I said, I liked the second pasta enough and was tired tonight, hadn't eaten, they advertise being open till 10, and I called in to order a spaghetti with tomato sauce on way to friend's home. Tonight, the store smelled mildewy to the max, the type of smell an old mop would yield. First and second time I went in, there was a similar smell, but much more faint, I figured it was an old strip mall and maybe musty. But tonight it was overpowering. I arrived there 3-4 minutes after having ordered, it was already in the foil container. Came home, as expected because it was ready stat [and last time took 10-15 minutes, was not as hot as last time, but worse, it tasted old, the spaghetti itself, had either a refrigerator taste or maybe took on the smell of the place, but tasted "not" fresh, hardly any sauce at all on it, much more sparse than the last time, and "much more chintzy" in regard to the actual pasta, less than the servings I got the previous time when purchased two. The previous visit I got a piece of chocolate cake that tasted like refrigerator, if you know what I mean. Anyway, I ended up eating and [semi-or-decently] enjoying one of those pastas, and got slightly sick off the other, the cake was okay at best and had refrig flavor, the parmesan seemed almost crystalized and flavorless, I figured the bad something in the basil pasta might have been a fluke and wanted to give them a second shot since it is owned by Italians from Italy and I assumed would/should be good.......but tonight was a big dud. I did not eat it, felt like calling in to just get money back or two desserts to give to niece and nephew, called before closing but they didn't pick up. I would have kept going there once/twice a week just for the simple pasta, but as I said, chintzier than last time, both the pasta and the sauce. Back to the ingredients, they don't make their desserts, use a butter substitute and garlic from a jar. And what's the odor? And the old taste in tonight's pasta? What a waste of 7.50, not a fortune, of course, but may have just as well thrown that money out the window; would have been nice if it tasted fresh and hot and flavorful instead of stale; at least I'd have had dinner. I had two bites and did not desire to eat the rest for the old flavor of the pasta, felt it was questionable, didn't trust it. As a positive, the older brother answered questions politely the first time I went to go give it a look. read more
