Sandro (Rea's Italian Cuisine)

[KappaSigma]

Is now open after rebuilding after the fire!

Went there tonight and just as good as ever! The place is very nice inside!

Keep in mind they have changed the name of the restaurant to Rea Italian Cuisine as this is the owners last name "Rea".

has their service improved at all? their food has always been great (with the exception of one very overcooked pizza), however their servers absolutely suck. i.e. focusing intently on large groups or rich-looking old white men, while neglecting smaller groups or younger (> 30) folks. i used to live 5 minutes from there, but stopped going because the service was so shitty :thumbsdow

i know there are going to be a bunch of servers and bartenders trying to justify this kind of shitty service, but when it comes down to it, i can take my money elsewhere if they don't want it.

I am a sucker for strachi. Its similar to canaloni but used a crepe tpe dough instead of a pasta type dough.

Was that Sunday you tried going? If so, I dont know if they are open Sunday as tha might be their 1 day they are closed. Being Italian and all, Sunday is usuallya family and religuos day.

[Hash_man]

Went for lunch today with some friends, first time back since the re-opening.

:drool: Food was awesome as usual, service was really good too, I will be back for sure. Prices have gone up a little bit I think, but I can't blame them and it is still reasonable.

The linguini in red wine clam sauce is and always will be my fav :drool:
