After a long day I didn't want to cook or go far. After deciding Italian sounded good to both of…read moreus, we started to look at our options. Some restaurants have gotten pricey, the prices online at Ameci were reasonable, we were not sure what the pasta portions would be like at those prices but decided to give it a go.
I tried ordering online but the order never processed the browse just sat. I didn't want to risk ordering again and having two orders so I called. Everyone on the phone was so nice. They checked, the order did not go through and I asked if I could order by phone which they happily did.
We got an Italian salad, eggplant with spaghetti and lasagna. When I went to pick it up, the place smelled delicious walking in. You can see the kitchen and everything looked clean, my order was ready, I paid and was on my way quickly,
The main bag I was handed was heavy. No worries about portion size! Everything came in metal circular containers which was great, no styrofoam! The plastic lids were a little flimsy, but I don't know what else you could use, you kind of need the extra domed space, I don't know that the flat paper lids would work but it might be worth a try. Part of the edge of my lid came apart and plastic fell into the eggplant, luckily I saw it while eating, because it kind of stood out n the light, so I picked it out.
All portions were generous. The salad I expected mostly iceberg maybe some romaine, I was happily surprised with some mixed greens. The portion of salad dressing was tasty and generous as well.
The lasagna didn't have a lot of meat but it was tasty. The eggplant was tasty as well, and had a very generous amount of spaghetti, way too much for me to eat as one meal, so I have another meal for tomorrow. In the future I would probably get the sub instead. The sauce for both dishes mostly tastes like tomatoes which is fine, but if you are looking for generous amounts of spice, this sauce is not it, think simple comfort food.
Both dishes came with a good size piece of very tasty very garlicky garlic bread. Both dishes were also super hot in temperature, which was great, I dislike it when the food cools down too much on the way home.
If you don't have a huge appetite two people could split the lasagna and salad and be fine,
I want to try some of their other pasta dishes as well. I am glad we rediscovered this place, I had only previously had pizza from here
