Businiess name:  Vescio's Italian Restaurant
Review by:  citysearch c.
Review content: 
My family and I went to this restaurant on a Sunday in February. We were looking for something Italian, and because I really do not like the chain Italian restaurants, this seemed like a good choice. It is part of the ""Twin Cities Originals"" (TCO), a coalition of locally-owned, chef-driven restaurants typically known for fresh ingredients. Let me tell you that we were severely disappointed, particularly in light of their membership in TCO. First, they advertise fresh, house-made pasta. yech! I was excited at first, but if the floury, large tubes of goo represent home-made, sign me up for store bought any day. Seriously, I could mix together a bunch of flour and eggs and push it through an old paper towel tube myself and call it home made, but that doesn't mean it will be good. \r \r Most important to my low star ranking is the price. The run-of-the-mill pasta dishes were $12-14 a plate, and the ""secondi"" dishes (like chicken parmesan, etc) were all $15-18. This alone is not unreasonable to me, but for that price, it should certainly be better than a $12 meal at olive garden....It failed in that regard quite miserably. It was very bland, the ""fresh"" herbs on my chicken were dated and dry, and the chicken was very tough...obviously frozen for who knows how long before they finally cooked it. All 7 of us dining had the same response. It seems to be a greedy restaurant given the quality/price ratio.\r \r To be fair, I can't comment on my service as an indicator of what you might receive, as I think it was an aberration. We were not waited on promptly because of a table assignment mistake, and when we ordered, it took well over 1 hour for our food to arrive. The menu warns that the baked items will take half an hour, so a wait was expected, but over one hour (it was about 1:15 from time of ordering to our food arriving) is unacceptable. I can't comment on whether this is a usual practice. Pros: Atmosphere was comfortable and the ambiance was appropriate Cons: Way too expensive for the quality of food. ""house-made"" pasta was very below average
