I really like Red Sauce for a lot of reasons.
First and foremost it is NOT a chain. That means, unlike the Olive Garden, they actually prepare the food on site. I played golf with some friends yesterday and they all love the Olive Garden soup and salad. With no offense to Campbell Soup on this forum, if I want to eat canned soup, I'll buy Progresso.
Secondly, they have a great atmosphere and the chef/owners are LOCAL.
Thirdly, they have a good wine list and offer many wines by the glass in two sizes (the larger being, I think) a "quartino." Like my friend Len, I have been stung there by ordering Sauvignon Blanc without asking the price. Shame on me for not asking about a house white (a pinot/chardonnay blend that it quite good a very good price). Also, the Sauvignon Blanc was pricey for my budget (but not unreasonable given the quality of the wine).
Lastly, I love the deli.
Like Cashman, I hope others will give it another chance. "To err is human..."
