[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and i are pretty food snobby, but OG is our dirty secret. Not really a secret though, because we go so often and everyone knows.  I ran into my ever-cool hair stylist there a few months ago and i was mortified, and DH was like "he's here too."

Italian food is italian food.  Lots of midrange restaurants in Rome are going to serve things pretty similar to OG food.  OG uses way too much salt, but hey, it makes it taste good.

One entertaining story: my mom and i both love the egg parm at OG and had a hilarious convo with the waiter a few years back where he was trying to claim that they make it fresh daily from fresh eggplants. He was describing this elaborate scene where the kitchen is filled top to bottom with salted eggplant slices every day - whereever they have a free countertop. My mom and I, one glass into the cheap house wine, were telling this guy he was full of it, that of course they use frozen pre-breaded cutlets like you buy in the frozen food section at the grocery store.  He was insistent though, that they're doing this in house.  Yeah right.

Anyhow, i have since had multiple other waiters there incredulously insisting that the eggplant parm is cut, salted, and breaded daily in house.  Who would have guessed?? Mom and i were put to shame.

But yeah, we like the OG in our household![/quote]

Their eggplant parmesan really is delicious. If I am shopping near one, I will sometimes pick up a to-go with angel hair pasta. OG also really has their to-go game down, and things are generally ready right about when you schedule them for pick-up. [/quote]
