I am not sure i ever left a negative review before & to be fair expectations were low based on bad reviews. Also I am a bit of an Italian snob because of my italian heritage & my Moms cooking, we had to eat here for a work gathering. To start my choices were unavailable stuffed shells & all soups, as well as the dinner special sausage & peppers, like how does an italian restaurant not have sausage/peppers, its like McDonald’s running out of hamburgers. Wait time for large party was lengthy, probably an hour for our table, but same party table next to us was done eating by the time our tables food was out…then the complaints started, baked ziti several complained was partly cold and was clearly not baked, they mixed some cheese in with sauce and just served it imo. Everyone agreed by no one’s standard was it baked. The garlic cheese bread was meh at best. My dish was angel hair with meat sauce, I asked for cheese, $2.50 additional, it was missed which ok fine but what was brought 5-10 mins later was the tiniest cup of cheese I have ever seen, enough literally for a couple stands of angel hair. The ratio of noodles to sauce was about 4 to 1(see pic), to be fair they brought extra sauce prob cause it was a big party and they didn’t want problems, otherwise my dish was laughable. Someone else got pizza and couldn’t give it away. I honestly prefer chef boyardee to their sauce, but it wasn’t the worst sauce I ever had but definitely not good. I would rank like this: chef boyardee, stouffers, mama grossardis then spagettios, my honest opinion, not sure how this place is still open, just awful…I shoulda got more pics but I think the point is made.

This has been my favorite restaurant since I was a kid. I live out of town now but try to stop in every time I’m in town! My kids love it too and they are picky eaters so extra bonus points for that! My favorite is their rigatoni and meat sauce. They also just put a small splash of sauce on and serve it with a side of sauce so you can always have the right amount you like!! My only complaint is they are not open 7 days a week 😉

I don’t even know where to begin. I’m not one to complain about anything but man, not sure what’s going on here. We order food on seamless which is listed on google as an option to order from. Food came to $58 and said it would be ready around 7:23pm-7:30pm. My fiancé and I arrive at 7:32pm to be told that they are working on it. Fast forward to 20 mins later, some guy comes out and asks us if we called or ordered from Grubhub, I told him no Seamless. He says ok. Fast forward to 40 mins we are still sitting waiting. No one has checked in on us or said it’ll be out shortly. Then someone comes out to tell us their Grubhub system isn’t working and they never had our order. So instead of telling us that right when we got here, we waited for more than an hour on food that wasn’t even confirmed. They ended up giving us free dessert which was ok, but still very disappointed and wasted over an hour in their waiting area watching rugby. lol

I don’t even know where to start besides some fake wanna be Italian place. If you want hospital food this is the place to be there’s zero flavor in the food the server couldn’t even get the order right when we were the only ones there. And yes in this picture we ordered dominoes this because this may look like food but I wouldn’t even feed it to my dog

What they served me was not fettuccine Alfredo. It was a sad pile of naked noodles, abandoned on the plate like someone quit halfway through cooking and just gave up on life. No chicken. No mushrooms. And apparently, no sauce either.
This wasn’t Alfredo — it was culinary identity theft. Calling this Alfredo is like selling an empty bun and calling it a burger. The noodles were so dry, I thought I was eating packing material straight out of an Amazon box.
If you want plain pasta that looks and tastes like despair, congratulations — this is your spot.

Went in to order takeout. The restaurant inside is so cute and clean with checkered tablecloths. Adorable. I ordered an antipasta salad, meatballs and cheesy garlic bread. It was absolutely outstanding. Salad had fresh lettuce with the perfect amount of veggies and meat. So so good. Meatballs and sauce were wonderdul and the bread….YUM YUM! Can’t wait to go back!

The overall experience was average, but the main course knocked it up a notch for me.
We sat for what felt quite a while before our order was taken. It took so long to get our salads that we started to wonder if they were going to come out before the main course. A check-in or status update would have been helpful.
While the salad was okay, the dressing was quite watery. This was true for the Italian and ranch dressing.
The bread was nothing exciting.. It was buttered, but the butter didn’t cover the entire piece.
The entrees took awhile to come out. I’ve they did, I was pleasantly surprised. My stuffed shells and meatballs were excellent. It really made it worth the wait, although I still would have appreciated more check-ins from the wait staff
The aglio e olio, with chicken, looked good too. I had a bite, and it was good. There was plenty of butter left over afterward for the bread that was lacking
It was overall good. I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re in a hurry or do not like to visit for a while. Also, don’t go as hungry as I was, else your going to suffer a while.

First time here with the wife after seeing the tik Tok video of the guy saying how great it was. So upon arrival the place looked small on the outside but when we got inside it was a pretty good size. It was seat yourself so we took a seat and the waitress was prompt. The waitress brought out drinks and some bread, down solide is that’s the only bread ya get. When you go to others you usually get bread if offered more than once. I ordered the lasagna with meatballs and salad and my wife got stuff shells with meatballs. . The biggest plus side was they give you extra sauce right from the start. The downside was the temperature, the food wasn’t hot or cold it was very luke warm. It was tasty and just needed to be hotter in temp. Being it’s a little of a drive for us we wouldn’t go out of our way to comeback but if in the area would give it another shot.

We had been to this restaurant about two years ago and it was something we wanted to try again, but we’re very disappointed when we got there. There was no one there which should’ve been a sign of problems. Our food was average, and the price was much higher than we paid The last time we were there and every item seem to be an extra charge. Sadly, we will not be back. I hope the management does something to save the business.

Always had a great experience and food this time we had the baked Italian fish. It was under done cold and soggy. Additionally with using paprika it’s a mild sprinkler. There was so much on both of ours that it had to have been dumped on. The fish was soggy and wet . The lettuce in the salad was not drained so the salad dressing was as thin as the water and was sloppy to try to eat our waitress was fine but the cook and a young lady that worked there was to busy flirting and giggling for him to be paying attention to doing his job as a cook. Honestly I ate 2 bites of my fish and scrapped it to the side and just ate the pasta. The experience was very disappointing not sure if we will be back
