An American food lover from Lawrence, MA tried it.

Not what we recall
My Husband and I were out for a quick bite to eat. He wanted to go to Della Rose’s since we hadn’t been there in over a year. The last time we were their sandwich sizes were very large. It wasn’t very busy but then again none of the wait staff was just standing around. It looks like your typical place that has a sports theme with all the sport memorabilia hanging around. On the bar side there are plenty of TVs with either the news or sport on.
Recalled from the last time we were there we loved the Crab Dip.
So we started with the Crab Dip ($10.99) that is served in a bread bowl and lightly toasted pieces of bread and topped with melted cheese. We were slightly disappointed with the size. We both said we thought it was bigger last time (for $10.99 I would thin it would be). It wasn’t overly small it could just use a bit more to it. However we still both agreed that is one of the best Crab Dips we have had (besides the one I make LOL).
For my main course I had the Southwestern Chicken Panini, which had grilled chicken with jalapeño pesto, chipotle mayo and Pepper Jack cheese. It is also served with a sided of fries. The flavor of the Panini was ok- I was expecting a much bigger kick- in fact I didn’t feel any heat form the spice or peppers. I also felt that it was on the greasy side from the butter they used on the bread (or whatever they use). Not sure if I would get it again. On the other hand, the LOVE their fries!
My husband had the Hot Beef Sandwich, which was open faced roast beef sandwich smothered in gravy. He got he fries smothered in gravy also. The first he said to be when he got it was “Where is the Beef?” In fact it seemed it was2 and if you were lucky 3 slices of beef and there was 2 larges slices of white bread cut in halves under it. They did good presenting it so it looked fuller with meat. He said the taste was good but needed a bit more meat.
We sat at a both along the divider of windows that separated the bar and the dining room- I noticed one thing that really put me of- DUST. It looked as though it hadn’t been dusted in weeks or more. I ran my finger over it and gazed at how dirty my finger was- I am glad I didn’t have a white glove on for that test! The area I wiped stuck out like a sore thumb after I swiped my finger. They need to get on that!
Now if I am going to rate it out of 5 stars I honestly would give it a 2 ½ overall. Now if I break it down in other area and not a general aspect certain things would get lower than 2 ½ and other would get higher. For example, portions sizes would get lower but the crab dip taste would get higher.
