from good italian to bad

A terrible dining experience was during a quick visit to Pasta Luna prior to catching a movie (Michael Clayton is a pretty good movie btw). This place billed itself as the best Italian food in all of Richmond for many years in a row. This "award" presumably from our old friends @ Richmond magazine was obviously taken with a heaping of NaCl (see first post) but boy, what an exaggerated pat on the back that was.
The bread was cold, the pasta was overcooked and just terrible tastewise. The tomato sauce tasted like it came from a can. My chicken marsala was stringy and the end product of some sad poultry process. The sauce with the mushrooms no better. What a change from good italian (ie sensi)
The best part of the meal - We were out in a jiffy.
