OK if you need a quick Italian fix, but we felt the prices were high given the quality and size of the portions. The flavors weren’t very powerful, but the food is cooked quickly once you order, so it’s fresh. The service is good and quick, if they have enough servers and cooks available.

I decided to finally stop and try this place out after I decided I wanted Italian cuisine, but wanted to try out a totally new restaurant. I had ordered the chicken parmigiana with alfredo and pizza square then the cookies and cream gelato. The plate was bland as was the gelato. Sadly, the appetizer, the pizza was comparable to a frozen microwave pizza. However, the service and environment was totally peaceful and waitstaff very polite. Definitely a place to get a snack or coffee and chill or have an intimate conversation with someone!

This place was recommended to me by a coworker today. I told her I wanted a salad and she said they were really good and fresh. She didn't lie! I ordered the Mediterranean Chicken Salad and man, it was tasty! Spring mix, tomato, LOTS of chicken, kalmata olives, PESTO, green onion, and a vinaigrette . It was so delicious and the price was pretty good for such an elevated salad! Oh, it also came with a warm garlic roll that was awesome. The staff was super friendly and the place was really clean and fresh. I will definitely come back and try their other items!

The beer was warm. We had to get a bucket of ice. The Pasta Corleone had too much cheese and very little meat. It was slimy and lacked flavor. The Gamberi Con Limone was drowning in red pepper. I was extremely disappointed in what we got for the price. Definitely will not go back!

Tbh, not as good as I thought it could be. Went during happy hour and no one mentioned half priced bottles of wine, strike one. Asked waiter about a sorbet I saw, he was in training and told me to ask another staff member, foul ball. Pizza needed to be cooked a bit longer, crust was soft. And not the best lasagna in town by far, it was a bit dry. The ravioli soup was nice but a little bland but my favorite thing of the foods I purchased. The prosecco cocktails were tiny for $7 a piece. Not what I would expect for a meal that cost me $51 that I had to pay up front. I hate having to pay up front and see the staff look upset when I dont automatically tip for food and service i have not received yet. I really dont see me coming back.

Mediocre. Satisfactory but not impressive. Croutons were stale, and green beans were canned beyond a doubt, but the entree meats were good. No seat cushions anywhere. Staff was pleasant and attentive. Best compared to a Golden Corral from the 1980s.

Relatively cheap for entrees, though sides are pricey. Though, not great food. The alfredo sauce was so liquidy I had to poor it out of the container, in order to eat my pasta. Artichoke dip is just that -- artichokes. Not any additional flavor or parmigiano, except for some sprinkles. Shrimp salad was pretty basic and had 4 shrimps. Ceasar salad was good. Can't really go wrong there. Overall, I would not eat here again :(

Love it!!! My husband and I have lunch here at least twice a week. We're never disappointed. Delicious Italian flavor with an American twist. The personnel are wonderful and efficient. Very clean. When we go the girls are always brewing fresh tea :). Highly recommend for catering. The food is hot and fresh and they don't skimp either. Simply Delicious !
