		<description>I really liked Piazza Italia &lt;a&gt;when I went also,&lt;/a&gt; especially the freshness of the noodles. I’d recommend it if you’re looking for an inventive, finer dining Italian spot.</description>

		<description>&quot;Between the comparatively high price and not-great sauces, I wasn’t impressed- would give it a 2.5 out of 5. But maybe it was a bad day?&quot;
i second that...</description>

		<description>Get the mussels here!  (I used my empty shells as more functionable soup spoons for the broth).  I have to admit I have only had one dish here because it&#039;s so good I haven&#039;t been able to branch out.  Chicken breast stuffed with procuitto, smoked gouda and basil served over house made pasta cooked to perfection.  Just do it.</description>

		<description>So, I&#039;ll beg to disagree slightly with some of the most positive reviews here.  I went here with a friend for dinner on 12/23.  Ambiance is indeed nice.  I did like the bread and cooked garlic.  I also enjoyed my soup-of-the-day: some sort of tomato bisque.

However, both my dinner partner and I were not impressed with our main dishes.  I had a house specialty with napolitano sauce (didn&#039;t see it on the menu online- I think it was tortellini?).  My dinner partner had the ravioli ricotta.  Both of us found our dinner dishes very bland.  Pasta quality itself was good, but very little flavor in the sauce, which for me, is the most important part.

I noticed the main review commented positively about the eggplant parmigiana- I thought about getting that, but it&#039;s $13.  That seems excessive when you can get good eggplant parmigiana for much less from less-fancy places like Durham Pizza and Pomodoro and others in the area.

Between the comparatively high price and not-great sauces, I wasn&#039;t impressed- would give it a 2.5 out of 5.  But maybe it was a bad day?</description>

		<description>I agree.  Pasta is one of the cheapest ingredients in a kitchen and cooking it for 4 minutes in barely boiling water isn&#039;t hard, either.  To a restaurant, a fresh pasta dish with pomodoro (tomato) sauce costs less than $3 (even less if it&#039;s not fresh pasta).  Add a few dollars for fixed costs and the rest is pure profit.  

A hole in the wall, where the esthetics aren&#039;t important and the wait staff is minimum, would be a great addition.  There should be no reason to sell a pasta dish (with tomato sauce) for more than $7.95, add a dollar for other sauces such as Bolognese or pesto, and $3 if you want a whole chicken breast.</description>
