red sauce follow-up
Let me begin this post with the comment - we wanted to like this place, the Villages needs another good Italian restaurant.
A group of 8 went to Redsauce Monday around 5:15. We were seated immediately. Server was attentive however wasn't very helpful when one of the diners asked about the Tomato Tarta...could not explain the dish. He "forgot" to bring us bread. (which was disappointing when it arrived). Requests for water refills were ignored. One of the diners ordered the house salad, but wanted it without dressing because of dietary limitations. The server was questioning why and that he would "have a hard time explaining it to the kitchen. Overall, 3 people had meatballs and spaghetti - rated ok, nothing great, Eggplant parm. - another ok, house salad dressing was rated too sweet, sausage/pepper and onion appetizer was the best dish of the group. Another had the grouper putanesca...nothing to write home about. Mozzarella,tomato and basil salad was also disappointing. We realize this place is new, but I doubt any of us would return for quite a while.
