Colore Italian Restaurant

Good American Italian food. Generally you can always distinguish between American Italian and traditional Italian (or at least attempted traditional Italian) by their lasagna. Do they use a Béchamel sauce or Ricotta. This place uses the latter. Everything is pretty fairly priced. If you’re ordering a steak, be sure to ask for the size. After frequenting steakhouses recently I almost tricked myself into thinking $21 and some change was a good deal for a New York Strip. It wasn’t until I inquired about it that I found out about the measly 8oz that would’ve been placed in front of me. Personally I haven’t come across an 8oz New York strip recently, and wasn’t interested in finding out.

I had the the Bolognese, which was alright, although the pasta had clearly been cooked at too High a temperature as it was al dente at its core, but overly mushy on the exterior. My wife had the shrimp scampi, and she summed up the food in a nutshell “it was ok, but I wouldn’t come back.”

If you’re looking for comparisons to other restaurants, I would say this is much like Maggiano’s Little Italy, without the value for money.

The highlight of my meal was the bread pudding dessert, which was doughy, and decadent.

All of the food aside, the staff were welcoming, and our server was attentive to our needs. No complaints at all on that end.

Overall I’d give this place a 5/10. You won’t leave feeling ripped off, but you’ll leave feeling a little unsatisfied.
