  Very disappointed with our meal. My wife and I ordered chicken parm and stuffed mushrooms. The chicken parm was dry with minimal spaghetti. At $15.99 I'd expect much more. The bread that came with it was like chewing on a rubber tire. Maybe Roma's pizza is better but I'd look somewhere else.

  First, the positive: the service was amazing. The server was quick, attentive, and personable. Also, anything involving bread was done right: the garlic bread, the pizza, and the dessert (which was a kind of fried dough with chocolate glaze) were all perfect. All of these items we had from the lunch buffet.
  
  Unfortunately it's the cons that nearly ruined the experience for me. The salad (which I didn't get from the buffet) literally tasted like they'd mixed Italian seasoning with water and spritzed it over iceberg lettuce. You could tilt your plate and see it drain off in that watery consistency. Nothing except for a few flakes of seasoning would stick to the leaves.
  
  Next I ordered the manicotti. It was nearly $8 for two small pieces (about half the size of what I traditionally make at home, which is smaller than what you'd get at a grocery store). The cheese filling was bland (despite tons of the mystery seasoning flakes) and the marinara sauce was far too sweet and had that "tinned" flavor that I've tasted from cans of Hunt's, but never at a restaurant. Even Fazzoli's did it better. Hell, even Chinese buffet spaghetti tastes better. And I am generally not a picky eater; this was the first time in my life I could not stand to finish a pasta dish.
  
  It's entirely possible that I caught it at the wrong time (as I said, the service was top-notch and the bread items were good), but I for one won't be risking it again.
