Reviews
While the pizza isn’t exactly like Ray’s, it’s close enough for me to compare the two. The type of pizza is exactly the same, the size is very similar, and the toppings amount is close. The one major thing that is different is the amount of cheese. Ray’s puts about 25% more cheese on their pizza, so the cheese pull is much more satisfying.
One thing I really appreciated about this pizza was how crispy and balanced everything was; like they really care about what they are making for each customer.
I also tried the stuffed shells, which look as good as they taste. I have no complaints or critiques on that dish.
I will definitely be returning, and I may even purchase some of the ingredients that they store in their readily-accesible public refrigerators.
I decided to try the fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken, and I was pleased with the dish overall. The pasta was well-prepared, infused with a medley of spices that elevated its flavor profile. The grilled chicken, while tasty, was slightly on the dry side, albeit packed with spices that complemented the dish nicely. The garlic bread served alongside was a bit dry as well, but its flavor was quite enjoyable. For the fettuccine Alfredo, I’d give it a solid 4 out of 5 for flavor—though I do recommend upgrading the chicken quality for a better experience.
Next, I sampled a Caprese sandwich. While the bread didn’t quite suit my taste, the combination of fresh cheese, ripe tomatoes, and tangy balsamic vinegar was delicious, earning it a respectable 3 out of 5.
To accompany my meal, I ordered a glass of wine and a fountain drink (Dr Pepper). Unfortunately, the wine, though fragrant, fell short in taste, suggesting it was a budget option. The cleanliness of the utensils left something to be desired, possibly due to steam stains, but this didn’t detract too much from the overall experience.
In summary, this restaurant is a fantastic choice for a quick bite or a satisfying dinner that delivers authenticity in flavors typical of a genuine Italian spot. While there are areas for improvement—such as the quality of the chicken and the cleanliness of utensils—the overall experience is quite positive, making it a place worth visiting when you’re in the mood for hearty Italian fare.
Parking was easy and the restaurant itself is easy to find. When we walked in there was about a 5-10 minute long long, but it moved quickly and gave me enough time to look at their expansive menu. We opted for the fettuccine with marinara + meatball, as well as their chicken fettuccine alfredo.
The marinara sauce was very nicely seasoned. It truly tasted like it was freshly made with fresh ingredients. My partner, who is not usually a big red sauce fan, said they would get it again, and I think that speaks volumes. You get one meatball when you add it as an option, and I while it’s a big meatball that is beautifully seasoned, I wish I got more for the price I paid. The garlic bread was also very nicely seasoned and paired well with the marinara sauce.
The alfredo was thick, creamy, and everything you’d want in an alfredo pasta. The star of this was the chicken, which was breaded and seasoned to perfection. You get a few big pieces that definitely felt more worth it compared to the meatball.
If I had to go back and do it all over again, I’d probably try two of their pastas instead of getting two fettuccine dishes (this was on me, I was given the other options but opted for this). That being said, since moving here, this was one of the few restaurants so far where my partner and I both agreed, we’d be back.
The pizza was so bad! Like so so bad. Worst we have ever had
The lemon bar was too tart. No good. The Cannoli was good.
Overall it’s far for so/so food but not disappointed in try it.
