The soups are very good, IMHO, particularly the Tuscan.
Salads are great, but I don't care for the breadsticks. Pretty bland.
My favorite entree is the Chianti-braised short ribs. The portobella and
porcini rice pilaf served with them is seriously good, and the meat
practically falls apart.

It's a chain, so it's not what Nana cooked at home, but I like it...
