Ever eaten at the Metreon? There’s a fire roasted grill place there and Fuzion reminds me of it a lot. At least their pasta reminds me of that place. Fuzion, located in Davis Commons, has inside and patio dining. With the area populated by college students, it’s no surprise that the wait staff appears to be college students too. Food is catered to a college student’s budget – all dishes hovering around the $10 range. The bar is located to your right as you enter the restaurant, and there are large windows to bring in light. On the other side of the windows are the patio tables.

- Caramelized mushroom linguine – Served with a slice of French bread, mushrooms – button and other - are served with linguine in a red sauce. There was a lot of flavor, but not a distinct flavor. Edible, but hard to describe. Let’s put it this way, if I had a chance select other items, I would. Portions are decent. $7.95

- Italian club sandwich - Served grilled on focaccia bread. It looked a little on the dry side. Also served with mixed greens. $6.95

- Spinach and four cheese raviolis (choice of three raviolis and choice of three different sauces) – also served with a slice of French bread. $8.95

- Strawberry homemade lemonade – Nice pink color, but it was a little watered down. $2.50

The menu offers a variety of pasta dishes, all with some Asian or European flair (e.g. Thai spices, or barbequed pork). Food is reasonably priced and nicely presented, but lacks the pizzazz of truly good quality food. It’s the upper scale of college food – better than DC and more choices, but nothing outstanding/grabbing. Service was mediocre – it was about 15 minutes before our server came to take our orders. Great for college student budgets.
