Maccheroni Republic - Downtown

Newly opened Italian restaurant in Downtown, just across from the Grand Central Market. Friday during busy lunch time, this place was empty, from start to finish, we were the only customers there. Since we were not sure the food here is good or not, so we just ordered two dishes plus salad to share.
And I must say, I actually liked the food here. Nothing outstanding, but simply good. The menu was very simple, that's a good thing. The service was also good.
Unlike the other Italian restaurant, this place doesn't serve any bread. The portion was smaller than average Italian restaurant.

Insalata della casa $6.95
