Was in town visiting family this weekend. Our original plan was to head to Connecticut for dinner but that did not happen. Then our second idea was to go to a different place for dinner but as we arrived, they had closed at 9:00. So the other parties decided that we should come to La Famiglia. Boy what a mistake that was, at least in my opinion.

We sit at a table in the main dining room, the server was a young gentleman who was friendly. We had mozzarella stix, (frozen from a bag)eggplant rollatini, decent. Sole Francaise was ok. The ravioli and meatballs were fair. The ravioli definitely frozen. The meatballs looked really weird and grey in color. I had the rib eye special. It came with a horseradish cream sauce, mushrooms, garlic mashed potatoes, and mixed veg. The vegetables were definitely frozen from a bag. The mashed potatoes were horrible. Definitely instant potatoes from a box. Bland and tasteless. The steak was tough and chewy. How can you charge over twenty dollars for a meal and not even make fresh mashed potatoes?

The band they had playing was pretty good. We didn't have dessert. This is a place for the locals and the drinkers. Not a spot to bring out of town guests looking for an upper class evening. I live four hours away so I won't ever be back. Even if I did live in this area, I still wouldn't go back.
