The Italian Kitchen

An absolute gem. A restaurant that's been an Italian staple in El Paso for over 70 years. Today was my first experience eating at this establishment. Parking was a little odd, considering the restaurant is a renovated house. Theres a few parking spots in the back, but you can park in the front, on the side of the road. The atmosphere was calm and beautiful. They played classic Italian music: dean martin and frank sinatra, and it felt like I was eating at an Italian grandmothers house. The staff were young, friendly, and helpful. I went with my girl and she asked our waiter if he had any recommendations, which he gave her three options. She chose the lasagna casserole with green sauce, which was absolutely delicious. I, myself, got the spaghetti with meatball sauce. All together, it came up to about 47 dollars, which I didn't feel was too bad a price as it was plentiful, made us full, and was delicious. Overall, I highly recommend. Again, this was my first experience and I will definitely be going againa

Local flavor is always better! We drove from the Horizon city area and it was worth the drive. The servers were phenomenal, gave the feeling of being guests at their home. I’ve ever had an opinion on a salad before. It’s typically very basic. This salad was amazing. The homemade sauce used on all pasta dishes is unreal! wasn’t too big of a fan of the pizza. The dough is done. We have found our Italian restaurant

Revisted after 10 years and safe to say my memory was correct. Great food, service and overall atmosphere. Would recommend 😍🤌🏻

Looking for an amazing Italian place in El Paso? Look no further! Everything was on point! We had chicken Parmesan, the chese sticks, the lasagna and pizza! Everything was cooked perfectly, the flavors were amazing, and the atmosphere feels like family. The saver was so kind and welcoming. Definitely give it a try!

The sauce served at this restaurant has a flavor reminiscent of low-quality canned alternatives, lacking the depth and richness that one would expect from a freshly made dish. Additionally, the tiny boiled shrimp included in the meal taste somewhat cheap and unappetizing, detracting from the overall dining experience. Despite this, the prices are surprisingly high, as if the restaurant is charging for a much more gourmet offering, which makes the disparity between the quality and cost all the more frustrating.

This old house turned restaurant is charming although a bit dated. Seating is limited and cramped; expect a 20min wait time for dinner. Be careful to not bonk your head on the pretty stained glass lamps. Food is excellent. But a small tiramisu dessert for $9?! Ouch. They offer lunch specials, too. An El Paso staple since 1948 - worth trying!

El Paso classic, My goto is the Ravioli, so good. Their lemon cream sauce pasta is so good too, add chicken.

Italian food at its finest has always been a staple for The Italian Kitchen! We love this restaurant! It never disappoints. Bring your appetite because the portions are large, and meals are delicious, and the service is excellent. The restaurant itself has been in business for 75 years, and, it does not change, but it does not need to change. It’s nostalgic, comforting, just the way I like it, with vintage photos adorning the walls, bringing back delightful memories of the various times my family and I shared many meals together. I highly recommend The Italian Kitchen and we most definitely will be returning! 5/5.

Absolutely would recommend the place. I love the service and the food OMG is fantastic and plentiful! I always recommend The Italian Kitchen, and every one of my friends really appreciate the tip on Tuesdays they have meatloaf out of this world great Italian food Chicken Parm umm. If you're reading this, you really must go try it you'll like it! homemade dressing Italian ranch ummmmm! Tell Them Bill Murray Sent You! Great People Great Place

My som ordered a n meatball sandwich he got one meatball in a pie container nowhere like a meatball sub was charged 16.oo for it I will not order from them again

Unfortunately I have not been there in a while but they go above and beyond with their customers. The food is fantastic the people are wonderful I highly highly recommend this place. The cooks went out of their way to make me a chicken parmesan 20 years ago and I'll never forget that. Five stars for sure.

never again will i order from the italian kitchen!!!! close to $18 for the imitation lasagna smh ham sandwiches on bolillos

I have been going to this eatery for years and have always enjoyed the food. There has been a change in ownership and I was surprised when my eggplant did not come with a side of spaghetti. I even asked our waiter and he said it did not. However when I look at the menu on line it says that it does come with that. Most Italian eateries offer spaghetti with many of their meals. I was very disappointed.

I don't frequent Italian spots as much simply because I try to minimize my carb intake. However, I treated my mom to lunch and she loves Italian. Plus, this had been on my local list to try for a very long time. Overall it was meh for me. The service was borderline aggressive and in such a hurry they hardly made eye contact. The food was what I would expect, heavy on the salt, sugar, and oversauced. I didn't see any options on the lunch menu for a lemon based sauce which is my usual go to. I wonder if they make their own pasta in house? The bread, salad, coffee, and tiramisu were good. Not sure I would come again but I will say the best part of the experience for me was the location and ambiance. You could tell it was a home at one point with lots of real charm. T

We love The Italian Kitchen! The food, atmosphere, and service is amazing! Highly recommended! 5/5

It has been four or five years since our last time there because the service was so horrible. We decided to give it a second chance and we're disappointed once again I ordered the lunch eggplant parmesan and it was covered with a small piece of cheese on the top. Pre sliced piece of cheese not impressive. The temperature was good but lacked flavor. It came with the side salad and when I put the dressing on all I could taste was oil. The bread that they served us 15 minutes after they served her meal was stale and hard. We asked the girl who was a manager to bring us some crackers. She totally blew us off and we had to ask the waitress for the crackers which was news for her. I had been coming here since I was a kid but not again. I wish I had gone to House of Pizza. Mediocre food mediocre service.

Worst service ever, visited today, and the server can't even bother to remember our order, doesn't check back on us, doesn't bring additional items we requested. Then our order took over an hour to come out, wtf

I was there with a good friend. I ordered rigatoni , a salad and a beer. My friend ordered Alfredo, a salad and water. My tab was $86. When I got home I noticed they had charged me all of the above, plus lasagna and two teas. I called to complain and was told that they would review the cameras! I got a call back and they verified no lasagna but we each had tea! They ask me to come in and get a cash refund as they don't credit the card! They tried to pay me the price of the lasagna and one tea! What about the other tea and the tax? After explaining to them that I was due tax and an extra tea, they refused to pay me back for tea that we never had! I know it was only 3.50 plus tax, but I won't go back!

I've been going here, for several years now, when I travel to El Paso on Business! Food is always good, nice and pleasant service! It's what I call, Old School Italian! If you're in town and looking for some delicious Italian comfort cuisine, you owe it to yourself to dine here!

This place is terrible! Go to bella sera instead. Nice ambience and very professional wait staff. Which makes the below average food with expensive prices that much worse. The tortellini I ordered was absolutely terrible. Soft drinks come in a bottle so no refills. Auto gratuity was added for a party of 5 even though the menu does not mention auto gratuities. It was very expensive for the poor quality of food.

Holodeck version of 1960s-1970s Italian-American restaurant. Just what you'd expect. Literally Frank Sinatra-only soundtrack playing on a music streaming service. White and red checked tablecloths. The whole shebang. Everything was just fine, but with no impressive culinary flourishes. Friendly and efficient service. It is almost difficult to judge this place by contemporary Italian food standards. Caprese salad? Yup, but the mozzarella was hard and sliced. No fresh buffalo anything. Coffee? No espresso.

I had a great time when I took my daughter and her boyfriend to eat there. My future son in law proposed to my daughter at Italian Kitchen. Great romantic atmosphere!!! Our server, Hilda, was awesome and the food was so good too. They and I will be back!!

The best Italian in El Paso Texas hands down.! very polite and peaceful environment the waitress's were beautiful and kind and the service was outstanding.! The food was so light and creamy the salad was a blast of flavors in my mouth. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND.!

I kept hearing about this place so decided to try it. My girl and I decided to go last week, was not busy, so that was in the +Plus column. However, I quickly could see why. I asked the waitress what the specials were, she pushed the Bruschetta. I asked if she could tell me what they put on their version (every restaurant does it a little differently). I got some generic answer that told me she really did not know. I ordered the Eggplant Parm, and I swear it came out of a microwave, right down the black plastic tray it was served in. Such a small portion too. Was this a Weight Watchers frozen dinner? It was barely edible and I sent it back. My girl had the spaghetti/meatballs. She said the sauce tasted scorched. So, they obviously have it sitting in a pan for hours on end. Won't be going back. Very disappointed.

I saw the Godfather movie the other day and it gave me extreme cravings for Italian American cuisine. There's a seen in the film where the mafia guy is teaching Michael how to make the red sauce. I decided to check this place to have their red sauce. I ordered chicken Parmesan and it was so damn good!

I love the food and all but the quality of the food has been falling apart since 2022 maybe if they make a change and I want Italian kitchen to change the food and make it more Italian-ish

Shout-out to all staff - I dined there last night - the place was full of customers. The waiting time to take an order was short, quality of food was great, service was excellent. And the manager really rocked at keeping it all flowing. This was a great experience!

So good! Love the salads and pasta sauce. Fresh, great food! Authentic Italian food and the garlic bread is also very tasty.

My niece graduated today and being that this is her favorite spot, we went to celebrate her. We were sat without an issue, table for 12. Our waitresses, Beatriz, was amazing! She was friendly, attentive, and very personable. The food was delicious and plentiful, very large food portions. Thank you for taking care of our large party and providing stellar service. Thank you, Beatriz!

Italian Kitchen has been around for 70 years and still going strong. It has a lot of ambiance for being a hone that was re-fashioned into a restaurant with small patio area. The menu is great but they recently added some menu items that may be seasonal but wonderful: a marguerite pizza, caprese salad and lemon shrimp nor chicken pasta. Solid choice any day.

My wife and I and some friends stopped by for some delicious Italian food. The staff and waitresses were very attentive, polite and prompt. All of our dishes were delicious and served hot.

The spaghetti with sausage turned out to be crumbled sausage in the sauce, which was a lil disappointing. there was too little sausage to even taste. i liked that the noodles were still al dente when i ate it like an hour after picking it up. the sauce was nice and garlicky, but so salty that it kinda killed my appetite. the full order is $12 and it is a massive portion. had a bite of my gf's chicken parm $15 and it was pretty good. I forgot to ask for a takeout menu to post on here.. i dont think their website has the full menu, like it doesnt even mention half orders. service seems nice and the place is definitely quaint.

OMG! The Chicken Piccata is AMAZING! We come almost once a week to enjoy our antipasto salad and ravioli which are incredibly awesome. Today I decided to be adventurous and try the Chicken Piccata. We were VERY impressed! Italian Kitchen surpasses all other Italian Restaurants in El Paso and believe me, we have tried them all! Italian Kitchen, we love you!

Always great food and great service! I am never disappointed here! A neat place to bring friends and family.

The lasagna was edible, not great. The spaghetti had a funny smell and tasted weird. Please see the photo for the Bruschetta, thats not Bruschetta. That tasted gross. I could taste the crunchy garlic and tomatoes with no flavor. There are not many Italians restaurants in El Paso but this one is was definitely not it for me.

The worst Italian food I have ever eaten that got my entire dining party sick . We went last Friday 12/09/2022 . I got the baked Italian plate with salad , my mother the eggplant Parma and salad , my bf the chili con carne and soup of the day . Within an hour I was in the bathroom sick at both ends .. my mother when she got home happened to her as well. My boyfriend it hit him a little later when he was at work and had to Leave early ! 80 bucks wasted on food that made me so ill I couldn't eat for two days . I'm debating on calling the health department because something is seriously sus in that kitchen !

Right as you walk into this place, you can tell they host a hole-in-the-wall space that's about the size of a luxurious studio apartment. And, I know...I'm being extremely generous here. I felt like I was experiencing some serious claustrophobia heading back to the restrooms. I'd sure hate to see what would happen in the event of a fire. All joking aside though, this Italian Kitchen (see what I did there?) is quaint enough for what they serve. But there are a few quirks I'd like to discuss. Before we do that though.. First, the good: I was surprised at how tasty their complementary house salad was. It's clear the salad dressing is homemade. I also appreciate the fact that it's light, subtle, yet still not stoic in taste. Basically, I liked it. And believe me, plenty of other restaurants have made salads I don't care for. So, today I ordered a pizza. And....I gotta be honest, it was average. Not the best pizza I've had, but certainly not the worst. I mean, it's fine for what it is....I guess? But this is an authentic Italian restaurant, is it not? I don't think pizza should have crust that resembles the pizza from a gas station with cheese that comes off like the kind served in the school cafeteria. It tasted alright, but it lacked consistency. I...don't know how else to explain it. One caveat I would throw out there: do not come to this place if you're in a hurry. Because despite this restaurant's modesty in size (they look like they could occupy about 30 persons), the service is that of a snail's pace. I waited nearly 30 minutes...for PIZZA! Some of the best brick oven pizza I've ever had takes about...15 minutes at best. But all together, I think I was there just barely over an hour. It pissed me off because I was trying to get to my son's football game and I just assumed I'd be there a little more than 30 minutes or so. My bad, I guess. Look, I'm not saying this place is totally middle of the road. Admittedly, I only ordered one dish here and I hope that if I'm in the neighborhood again and have an inordinate amount of time to kill, I'll come back and try the pasta. Upon initial review however, I can tell you the service is anemically slow, the pizza resembles something that came from a Stouffer's box, the salads are nice, the wine is affordable, and the interior of the restaurant has a strange and cramp setup. It's one of those places where upon receipt of the check, you have to get up from the table and pay at the register (assuming you can find it at first). It's awkwardly located near the back where the kitchen entrance and restrooms are. Plus, there's not even a desk facing inwards as you would expect from most places. Looks as though whoever said this place feels like walking into someone's living room was totally accurate; take that for better or for worse. I'm giving Italian Kitchen (an epithet who's transparency is rivaled only by The Sushi Place) 3 luxurious studio sized apartments serving harmlessly fine Italian cuisine out of 5.

Last night was the first time I was truly disappointed in this restaurant and I have been coming here for over 20 years. The food was bland and the service was terrible. The waitress made our experience bad. My son spilled his drink and it spilled all over me. No biggie. Accidents happen. However, she took wet cloths to pick it up and didn't get the sides of the tablecloth. My pants were wet and she left the towels on the floor at my feet, smelling like bleach. She didn't offer a replacement drink but when the check came, you better believe the charge for the drink was there. She was inattentive and took forever. She made sure to add the gratuity of 18% to the bill even though we were only 5. I am now reluctant to return. I hope they read this review and use it to improve.

Food was very good, eggplant parmigiana was outstanding. It's located in a little house and a great location. Service was a little slow, but still work the the wait.

I have eaten at the Italian Kitchen for many years. Every time the service is impeccable and the food is amazing. I haven't ordered anything from the menu that has disappointed me. Definitely a place to try.

Nice size menu. Cozy spot, various seating areas, service was pretty fast to seat us and bring salad. So far so good. Antipasto salad was delicious. Dinner took a while to come out but they were pretty busy and backed up, they did apologize and notify us. No Pinot noir if you're a wine drinker. There were some flies dead next to us and alive but I won't remove a star because of this since we were sitting next to the door and the food was amazing flies are part of nature and are a pest that's hard to keep out but they could check in to pick up any dead flies time to time. The lady serving us was very nice. They are pretty busy we came on a Friday for dinner. I had the green chili lasagna and husband had veil Parmesan. Both dishes were amazing ! Found our new go to spot for eating Italian. Olive Garden who? LOL we had a beautiful view by the way of the street and rain.

We have never in the 20 plus years coming to this establishment have had a problem with anything at this restaurant until tonight. We arrived here about 5:45 tonight my guest and I. We were expecting the same excellent service we usually get. Much to my surprise we did not expect it to be a negative situation. As we arrived a couple was ahead of us waiting for a table. The Restaurant was not full, they had the tiny usual tables at the very front enclosed porch, 2 tables free and two round tables free. The couple were seated at one of the round tables by the beverage machine way at the right corner. When this over weight waitress with black frame glasses came for us, she quickly said the only seating we have is out here, meaning the enclosed porch area with the crowded little tables. I said Nah maam we dont want to sit here, we would like that table, meaning the round table that was left open next to the one the couple sat at. The waitress said the only space is out here again meaning the tables at the porch. I said, well the table is open there, and you sat that couple down. She responded "uhum". We stared blankly for a few seconds and I said. Well You let the couple ahead of us sit at that round table there, there were two you still have one. She replied again "uhum" and remained quiet for a few seconds again. I repeated and this time I pointed at the direction of the table that she sat the couple and said, you sat the couple that was ahead of us at that table there. She then reluctantly turned around and said OH that table is for three or more people. I replied Three or more people? but, again I said, You let that couple that was ahead of us sit at that other table. She replies They are two people. I replied but they are the same tables? they are not three people. They are a couple, and you sat them there they arent three people. She continued to argue with me, and replied "Thats a bigger table". I answered "a bigger table?" she said "yes its bigger". I said "UUUUGGGHHHH fine i dont want to argue". SO we left. We always by coincidence get seated at that one table by the window. It always seems to be empty, no matter what time we come here to dine, lunch time, early afternoon, evening or near closing, it seems we get that table. Tonight we were refused that table. Hey its not like I am here begging to eat free. Its a just a darn table come on people! I am paying for my food i want space when I eat not to be crowded in that section with the small tables at the entrance.

I felt like I found another less-known gem in El Paso. It's definitely a neighborhood restaurant. Food has the distinct home cooked feel to it. After all, it's housed in a converted residence with two dining areas. One looks like a smaller bedroom and the other looks like a combination of living and dining rooms. It's very cozy. When we visited, there were at least four families and two couples having a dinner. Our server was excellent. She was friendly, courteous and efficient. Our drinks came out fast, and our food came out very fast even though it was sort of busy with dinner crowd--some large family dinner parties. Serving size comes in either full or half. I ordered a full order of spaghetti with meat sauce (photo). It first looked enormous and probably it was, but I was so hungry I finished the whole thing, and it was very good! I was looking around the dining room and saw some enormous serving of salads and pasta dishes. You can add some protein with your pasta. The fettuccine Alfredo I saw had a huge piece of chicken on it. I'd say in general the serving size is very generous here yet the price is very reasonable. For instance, my large spaghetti with meat sauce was only $9.95 with garlic toast. Since it's a la carte menu, if you want to add anything else to your pasta, I'd recommend to make it a dinner for additional $6.95. It'll come with soup, salad, bread and spumoni. What a deal, but you must come here with very good appetite since the serving size is huge. The only challenge I could think of is parking. Immediate street parking is very limited. I think it's almost impossible when it's crowded. There's a parking in the back, but you have to get in from the back alley. Unless you know it's there, you might have a difficult time locating it. I must come back here to try other menu items because I enjoyed so much. Highly recommended!

Very homey, small, cozy spot with all your Italian classics. Food was good, service was nice, and we were happy to support this home-grown spot. Nothing fancy or super exciting, but a nice go to for lunch.

Great and cozy atmosphere it feels like your sitting in a house divided up into dining rooms. The lasagna is awesome. That's what I ordered, my best friend ordered the baked spaghetti and meatballs. So good. We did the add on soup, salad and dessert and it is totally worth it. The servings are huge ! Highly recommend

Great food and service. Cool location. Great place to eat. Lots of character and style

5 Stars of course I come here often. Growing up in El Paso my parents would bring me and my siblings. As a child, the bathroom would creep me out. But as an adult I've grown to appreciate the bathroom. This old establishment looks like a house. The history, so much history here. The owners have run this place for years. To me, this is one of the fewest places that makes real Italian food. Yes one of the owners was Italian. The other was Hispanic. So you see a mix. I went to Italy a few years back and I was in awe that some of the dishes here had a similar presentation and taste. Kudos to them for being somewhat authentic. My suggestion, try the dinner! It comes with a house salad, soup, main entree and then dessert! So so so good! The staff are so nice. You can't go wrong in coming here. Everything is delicious. If you park in the back, don't fear the back entrance. Yes, go in. There home is your home. Who needs front doors when you have a back one!

Great little gem in El Paso, located in the Pershing area. Parking is a bit odd, but you'll never not find a spot. If you love Italian food as I do, I highly recommend you give here a try. Yes, it might be questionable when walking in but, get a front seat on their "patio" and enjoy the view. They have an extensive menu, but I always go for my three favorite dishes- Chicken fettuccine, Chicken parmigiana, and Manicotti. I always get the large portions and it's perfect for two spilt meals if you're not a big eater, mind you the entrees do come with an antipasto salad which is to die for, I love the dressing it comes with- very refreshing to start the meal. Also the pasta comes with butter bread...the last few times they were burnt but still good. The prices are nice and affordable, worth trying if you're central and need a hot meal.

It seems to me that there is a positive correlation between how "house-like" a restaurant is and the quality of the food! That being said, this restaurant is basically someone's living room; therefore, the food is fantastic! The House dressing is seriously amazing! We liked the anti pasta salad with Ranch, but the house dressing would have made it unbelievable. I thought the Eggplant Parmesan was really great-and even better heated up later. The Spaghetti with marinara was fantastic-it had a good, sweet flavor. And the Tortellini with ham in cream sauce was amazing. I also liked that the pasta dishes weren't al dente-everything was cooked to the appropriate level haha. Would definitely return.

The Italian Kitchen is an all time favorite establishment. It's like being inside mom's kitchen, small, quaint and delightful. Service is excellent and the food is delicious! I ordered the Antipasto salad, my favorite, with the main meal being Rigatoni with shrimp. The red sauce was light and not to over powering to over take the plate. My partner ordered the spaghetti with meat sauce who stated it was good as always! Wednesday, the wine is half price so order the liter or half, you won't regret it.

Oh no! This was the worst food and service ever. I never expected to ever have this kind of experience from the Italian Kitchen, i had been here before! I was the first customer of the day and the last to get served. Then my food was cold! What did i do to them? The Server took my order and reheated it in the microwave!!! WTF Over!!! Pasta is cheap and I should have received a fresh plate with a new meatball. I offered to pay for the salad and tea that I had consumed, but the Server said it was okay no charge. I have reservations of visiting again. Such a Disappointment!! #XoFlea

My family's favorite place to go out and celebrate graduations, promotions, and any other excuse to come here! It might be small but they are always so accommodating with the a group but it's rear for a date night as well. I've never had a bad time here, the food is always delicious, 11/10 recommend if you're craving some good Italian food.

Ate dinner here on a Friday night around 9PM. The food here was okay. I got the spaghetti with meat sauce and ravioli which was pretty bland but I enjoyed it. Upon ordering wine they made no attempt to hide the fact that it was boxed (they poured it out of the Franzia box right in front of me) which I somewhat respected. A very homey feel in that it literally looks like you're in someone's house who just decided to set up a bunch of tables, put on an apron, and start taking orders (there was even mail on the counter next to our table). Definitely not the place to bring a first date or anyone you plan on impressing. I probably would have given this place 3 stars had it not been for the apparent money making scheme with the El Paso Towing Company. We finished our meal around 9:45 PM and decided to walk to a bar next door. After a couple drinks I walked out around 10:55 to find that my car had been towed. After calling the towing company they informed me that the owner of the Italian Kitchen had called them to have my vehicle towed because they had closed at 10 PM. This decision made no sense to me as it was a Friday night, the parking lot was otherwise empty (with the exception of my friends car who the towing company was coming back for), and the restaurant was closed so our vehicles were not deterring anyone who wanted to eat there. Seamed like a poor decision by a disgruntled owner that cost them several future customers who would have visited again (and myself $143 to get my car back).

This restaurant used to have the best Italian food in our city. However it rapidly went down about a year ago. Mouthy, argumentative waitress blasts carnival-like music which is to HER liking. Going there to have a nice meal and conversation is out of the question. Tables around us were all empty which is no long unusual. This restaurant used to be a happy, crowded place. The food is no longer that good but more expensive. How sad.

This locally owned Italian restaurant has a homey feel. The food seemed bland, but it was a nice place for dinner. The dinner included entree, salad, soup & dessert. The tomato sauce on my eggplant Parmesan wasn't nearly as robust with flavor as I anticipated. I sampled the chicken fettuccini and it was nothing over the top. The noodles were mushy & the chicken was a breaded patty. Highly recommend the soup and salad. Might try again for lunch. It's a bit pricey $$$

When the Italian Kitchen opened on the Westside, I was really looking forward to dining there. We went once and never went again. It was not worth going. The only thing Italian was the names on the menu. We were so disappointed. If you enjoyed dining there, you have no idea what Italian food really tastes like. This wasn't it. So, a friend wanted to meet up there for lunch last week and I agreed hoping that things had improved over the years. It hasn't. I had something they called chicken cacciatore. Not! My friend had a dish billed as rigatonni and it was a plate filled with tasteless baked pasta with melted cheese. Something she said she would not drive to the westside to have again. The soup was a solid 2 star and the side ceasar salad was probably the highlight of the meal. So, you ask, "How would you know authentic italian food?" I'm glad you asked. I have spent literally months traveling the beautiful country of Italy during the last 10 years and and no self-respecting Italian restaurant/trattoria would serve what I encountered at the 'Italian' Kitchen. It was a pathetic attempt to pass off hastily thrown together, poorly prepared inpersonations. Could it be that my friend and I just happened to order the only two things on the menu that s****d?

The food is excellent. We enjoyed the spumoni very much. We will be sure to visit again soon.
