This place has gone down hill since it reopened after the fire a few years ago. Last time I was here, the bread was stale, the lasagna tasted like Stouffer's (it was unusually 'flat'...weird!) and the sauce on my pasta was very bland. Also, I miss the sports bar, where you could go and watch TV with friends over a pizza and beer. (Speaking of which, pizza is okay, just not consistently okay. I think they forget the seasonings every now and then.) It's a shame because it used to be so good.
