Customer Reviews
Nice clean restaurant, friendly staff good service. The food was bland, and the chicken patties tasted and looked like they were dropped in the deep fryer for a second time. Definitely not fresh.
Party of four. It was Sunday and it was dead. My parents dragged me here for the $11 special and mom had this bag thing that you're supposed to get a steak and pasta meal for if you bring it in. The waitress told my mother that dad couldn't get the Sunday special if she used this bag on the same check (nothing in writing said this, only our waitress) so dad had to get the build your own pasta that was $5 more. And her steak wasn't a whole steak like it showed on the picture of the bag. It was "some steak" and mostly mushrooms mixed into pasta and half a slice of lasagna. My $11 special was very watery and bland. I finished the first plate but my bf had to convince my to get a refill just so I could at least get some worth out of it and just bring it home. The waitress was also arguing with
My daughter and I had a late Sunday evening meal. The service was excellent. I had the excellent wedge salad and lasagna. I almost forgot to take a photo. The atmosphere had a dozen other diners, but it remained an excellent atmosphere to have good conversation without straining the ears. We shared a tiramisu that we enjoyed so much, we bought another to take home for my wife who knows an excellent tiramisu when she tastes one. Expensive? Perhaps. Will we do it again? Yes. Plan to stop by for their lunch specials when I have a need for Italian food.
Fantastic Lobster Ravioli! Bread with dip is excellent as well. The atmosphere and decor are fun and inviting with a casual feel. Friendly staff and great food. I did take out and the food held up well during transport and the atmosphere was fun and friendly while I waited. Well done!
I literally drive an hour to eat here when I want Italian. The food is FRESH and made to order clearly. I use to be a big fan of Olive Garden until my husband took me here to eat in July 2025 - I have not eaten any Italian any where else but here. Food is superb, staff is so friendly, the chef is rocking that place!
