For full disclosure, I'm not a big fan of Italian food. Had dozens of meals in Italy at some pretty swanky places. Only one stood out as great. Went here about 29 years ago for a packaged going away dinner for a coworker. At that time, it was mediocre. Girlfriend loves Italian food so I took her here. Besides the cool factor of dining in an old railcar, it's the only Italian place I thought might hit the spot. She was hoping for Italian wedding soup but they didn't have it that day. She had a mixed seafood pasta dish and I had a steak special. She loved her dish. Said it was cooked well and seasoned nicely. The steak I had was actually very tender and flavorful. Best I have had anywhere outside of Texas. They had a white wine that she recognized as a good one. She said it was great. For dessert, she had the tiramisu. She said it was wonderful. So, I guess we WILL be going back.

It was a different dining experience for sure.. It could be better.. We werent greeted at the door, and it was confusing being our first time exactly where and what we were to do... Our server never really even catered to us, it was underwhelming... the two smallest bread sticks were brought out and they were okay nothing special.. Ordered a side ceasar and there wasnt even Croutons since when would a ceasar salad not have that(literally my favorte salad to order and never have i not been served croutons).. My cream sauce was very runny on my fettuccine with little to no flavor. I had to add salt and that says alot about a cream sauce... My hubby's lasagna was underwhelming. Plating was very messy and his sauce was also runny.. Cool historical dining car, could be better with better quality and care put into the food...
