declining fast. I have now been to Sagra 4 times in the past year for lunch. Its near-campus but not too-near location is ideal. But I have been increasingly disappointed with the food. The pasta is always overcooked and tastes like leftovers. It is a far better place for drinks and appetizers than for a meal. As a native New Yorker and Italian girl from the neighborhood, I tell you to PASS on this place unless they get a new chef and revamp everything. I waited an hour for my food yesterday in a fairly empty restaurant, and all 4 of us at the table were less than thrilled with the meal. The oily vegetable soup was a real low.

Nice place for lunch. I have been there twice for lunch. Both the times I really enjoyed. So far I had pesto sandwich and Cesar salad. Tasty and fresh...will go again.

First time-Very good!. Very nice dining experience-I won't go into tons of details, but I must comment on the fact that the food was prompt and tasty. The staff was very helpful and we would go back again. Thanks for a great evening!

NO GOOD.. We had been wanting to try this place for a long time and had decided to order on dine on demand. We ordered Casarecci alla Arrabiata, Wild Boar Osso Bucco, and cheese cake for dessert. It was awful.

The osso bucco was totally tasteless and was certainly not seasoned at all. Definitely not worth the $30. The pasta dish tasted like spaghetti-o's with olives and beef jerky-like salami. Gross. The noodles in the pasta were over-cooked and mushy as well. I could not even finish mine and moved on to the cheese cake...because, hey, you can't possibly mess that up, right? Wrong. That was also not good as I was not able to eat that either due to the awful consistency and the disgusting balsamic vinegar topping (which was really just vinegar out of a bottle).

I cannot believe how disgusting this food was. Not even mediocre. For the price we paid for this food, it should have been at least tolerable. I actually read the reviews from this site convinced it would be good, and was let down. I have no idea what happened here, but our experience does not even deserve the one star that we have to choose to make this review.

I never write reviews about anything really, but I was so disappointed at the price we paid for such horrible food, that I felt compelled to inform people of our terrible experience.

Sagra is SO good!. My family and I have been to Sagra many times. We love all of their pizzas and my personal favorite is the Sagra pizza. They also have great salads...my personal favorite is the Arugula salad with their homemade dressing, gorgonzola cheese, walnuts and pears! Their pasta is great and I loved the Risotto dish we had. My husband loves their lasagna and I am a fan of the Tiramisu!

We have always received excellent service. My husband and I have hosted work gatherings and happy hours with friends and everyone has raved about the food. It is great for a family dinner, for a group celebration or a romantic evening. I could easily eat there once a week
