was edible and definitely not jarred sauce. I will admit, for the price point I was expecting quite a bit. I asked if the pasta was made fresh and got "The pasta and sauces are made to order". Am pretty sure the pasta is dried....The portion sizes were quite nice, however, definitely lunch for tomorrow. Atmosphere was a little dark but if you want nice and cozy it is a place for you. We had the Linguine Con Pollo, $24 (Which I had to pay $2 extra for garlic bread and $1 extra for mushrooms; I got one mushroom sliced up) and the Veal Parmesan, $29 (we got chicken Parmesan, however, the mistake was rectified). Honestly if you are expecting great Italian for that price, drive to the city or go to East Side Mario'sMore
