★★★☆☆ 3.0 Lola Creams · Feb 2026

Been wanting to try this restaurant for a while. The staff was nice and welcoming. The pasta and vegetables were cooked well, but the pasta itself was bland, not very flavorful. The pasta doesn't taste like it's made in-house. The bread was pretty good. The portion size is great also. Would I try this restaurant again? Probably not fot the pasta.

★★★★☆ 4.0 José Cárdenas · Feb 2026

It’s a nice place to go with family or friends. The ambiance is great and the place has a nice service. Food is great! The only thing I would change is that the place is a bit narrow and I can’t imagine when it is crowded, but other than that it’s worth it to give it a try.

★★★★★ 5.0 Michaela Butler · Nov 2025

The food was endless, service warm and friendly like family. It was a Great spot we found after hitting a couple shops in the area. Super convenient as well. Our waitress was kind enough to give me ice water & dessert to go when we were done eating. Thank you

Updaye! I went and spoke to the restaurant about my order and they replaced everything. Amazing business but order through the testaurant and pick up! Ordered through Uber eats so I spent $70 on cheesy garlic bread, lasagna, and a large pizza. Everything came cold and was not good. The lasagna was a soupy mess with an unpackaged dry breadstick. The pizza didnt follow order notes and my family wasnt a fan of the taste at all though they typically eat any pizza. Marina sauce was oily. I contacted Uber eats but they wont issue a refund. This place may be fine if you ordered directly from the restaurant. But DO NOT ORDER THROUGH UBER EATS. Cold congealed cheese and soggy pizza/breadsticks are nasty. Threw $70 of food straight in the trash

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Sally C · Jan 2026

The wait staff is friendly however the service is not the best. The pizza is hands down the best in the area (coming from a northerner). We’ve been to this location the past 3 weekends, the first time I ordered clams with white wine sauce and it was delicious but the second time we visited I ordered it again and it had zero flavor. Tonight I ordered the Marsala with no meat, the mushrooms were very clearly canned and the sauce tasted nothing like Marsala, almost had a beef broth flavor. Would recommend the pizza but not so much the pasta
