My Review Could Be Titled "Stick To Their Pizza"
Ok,…read moreso.....my wife, family and I have been coming to Onset for the last few years, mainly ordered pizzas from here to go. Always good, if a bit on the pricey side. So... tonight my wife and I decided to walk into town from our rental, after having just driven 8 hours, unpacked, and chilled for a bit. So, the place was packed...and I guess I should've noticed that NOBODY was ordering anything but pizzas. Not wanting pizza, and looking over the menu while sipping our EXPENSIVE ($7.50 for a 12 oz. PLASTIC cup!) beers.
The minestrone (now THAT's Italian, right?) soup was mostly watery broth, with not much flavor. No redish tomatoey broth, very little spice. But...the veggies were fresh. The broccoli bites - hot, cheesy, I liked 'em, wife didn't. The BIG disappointment was the Large antipasta salad. They basically threw some slices of ham, a few slices of salami, and a couple of slices of cheese on a bed of chopped lettuce, sliced cucumbers and a few sliced cherry tomatoes. Oh, and a coupla pita bread quarters for ? (appeasement). Oh, and all this was arranged in one of those round aluminum foil "to go" dishes. For the money, NOT WORTH IT! Next time, IF THERE IS ONE, we'll get pizza by the slice, or maybe a whole pie.
Maybe my tastebuds are tainted by having some of the BEST Greek pizza in Tilton, NH & Western Massachusetts, or perhaps the delectable Italian pies at many Jersey Shore pizzarias.....but...for what we paid, I could've had 2 large pies to go and skipped their over-priced beers!
