Revisiting Wicked Garlic and maybe this is it

Here's a second go at The Wicked Garlic. The aglio olio has very little garlic flavour. The bacon they used didn't taste so much like bacon as it did crumpled strips of pork belly. Where's all the salt and smoke? I recall (albeit from a long while ago) that even Pasta Mania made much better aglio olio. At this price point, pasta from Saizeriya blows this out of the water. 

Their penne al granchio tasted better than it looked. The tomato cream sauce isn't Valentino's or Da Paolo and neither are the portions of crab but I suppose there's a good reason why this place costs less.

That's a quattro formaggi and it would be understandable if no one recognized it for what it was. It looked uniform. Taleggio the menu said. Gorgonzola the menu said. Mozzarella the menu said. Goat cheese the menu said. I tasted none of those. The flavour was just generic cheese and I couldn't tell what type it was from taste. For a four cheese, this was just sad.
