The New Taste of Italy

This place has the BEST pizza in Queens! But… they’re pasta is AWFUL!
I’ve always gotten the pizza from this place. The house Special is my FAVE! Lots of veggies + pepperoni + sausage. It’s amazing. The toppings are fresh and yummy, and the pizza overall is just great.
However, I had their pasta for the 1^st time last night and was EXTREMELY disappointed. I had the chicken & linguine alfredo. It takes 20 – 30 minutes to make the guy tells me. Ugh! But I didn’t mind waiting because that meant it would be fresh and delicious. I left and came back. He hands me the bowl of pasta and I was automatically unhappy. It was just diced chicken on top of linguine swimming in watery alfredo sauce. There was no color, no broccoli, no seasoning, NOTHING. I paid the $ 14 and left, still optimistic (P.S. this is a CASH ONLY establishment. Which really sucks…)
I get home and start eating and almost passed out. The pasta was so bland and tasteless. The chicken was not tasty either. The sauce had to just be water. It was really, really bad. To make it even worse, the food was soon Oily. It was disgusting. I ended up adding some seasoning and sautéed broccoli to it to try to make it better. That didn’t help much.
They give a very large portion so I had enough for leftovers. I warmed up the remainder the next day, and the food was swimming in oil. I had never seen so much oil in a pasta meal in my life. It was so oily I couldn’t eat it. It was truly nasty. It made an already bad meal even worse. I through the whole thing in the trash. $ 14 down the drain.
Word to the wise: don’t get their pasta. I don’t know what their other meals taste like, but I’ll be sticking to their pizza!
