We went to this Italian restaurant to meet up with family we haven’t seen for a while. We ordered penne with meatballs in a red sauce and a linguine with meatballs. We also ordered the pasta Alfrido with chicken and the spaghetti and sauce. The food was good but the penne was a bit on the cool side. The service was excellent. Our server made sure that everything was okay. All in all it was a good place to eat.
