The food is basically olive garden but double the price, the Latina tall ish skinny girl at the front has a serious attitude problem that magically disappeared when a Spanish speaking patron asked to switch tables, overall fairly new to this state, it's good to know where the bad spots are.

This is my favorite pasta place because of the Chicken Piccata, do your self a favor and give it a try. You will not be disappointed. In fact I have tried other dishes and they are all amazing. For me it's worth the long drive just to have great Italian food. I highly recommend.

Amazing food and very kind workers. They gave us free bread without charge since it was our first time visiting and we felt very welcomed. Atmosphere is nice the lighting is very nice and they have a beautiful restroom as well. The swordfish steak risotto was incredibly tender and delicious and the portions of the food were great. Would absolutely come again and I definitely recommend checking it out!

Great hidden gem! Service was very friendly. They don't have a kids menu or anything kids can play with at the table. But they can make noodles for kids upon request. Highly recommend: The bread and dipping sauce (delicious) Pasta putenesca Lamb shank risotto Ancient oaks Paso wine Alfredo sauce with fettuccine and broccoli for kids Parking is very easy too. Food came within 5 minutes. It wasn't very hot food unfortunately. We would return for sure!

We were seated for lunch (had a reservation) in the bar area where the bartender is also the server for all of the tables. Not her fault, but the service suffered because of that. The food coming out of the kitchen was very sporadic. People like to eat at the same time or close to the same time. I sent my Chicken Picatta back as the chicken was overcooked and extremely dry. The replacement had a better cook on the chicken, but the dish was drowning in butter, so it was not edible. It was also oddly bland. The server gave me a complimentary dessert. It was a lemon tart that had texture and far too long refrigerated taste.
Yesterday my cousins invited me for dinner. They often frequent this restaurant and they enjoy it, so they were eager to have me try it. I met them at the restaurant and I liked that it was easy to get to. It's located in a nice, spacious strip mall and the parking is fantastic. I hate when I go somewhere and I have to dread the parking situation. That definitely wasn't the case at this place and another plus was that the parking spots themselves were spacious. That gives me more peace of mind about my car not getting dinged. The parking lot also felt safe, if there is such a thing nowadays. We were a party of five and we were seated within five minutes or less. There was a minor misunderstanding, when we gave the number of people in our party, she mumbled something and collected the menus so we followed her all the way to the table, then she said "oh I said to wait."No big deal we went back to the front. She soon returned and we were seated in what seemed like a separate area to the left of the entrance. I thought the restaurant was quite cute and charming, and I also thought the outside was nice too. Definitely a restaurant suitable for different type of occasions. I felt like the prices were quite reasonable, especially for the area. I can be very critical about pricing , but I actually thought the entree prices were fair. One person ordered the chicken piccata and he enjoyed it. Two people ordered the chicken saltimbocca and another person ordered the carbonara and I ordered the fettuccine with walnuts. Everyone else in my party but me had been to this restaurant and they have been here several times. I liked my dish. One cousin gave me a sample of her chicken saltimbocca and another cousin gave me a sample of her carbonara. I thought their dishes were very good too. Next time I visit I will get what they ordered since it had more flavor. I also thought the food had nice presentation. My party was expecting bread, that is a part of the dining experience that they enjoy when they visit this place. When they noticed the bread did not arrive, they asked the person who brought our food, he politely explained that we have to order it because they now charge for it. Then the waiter who came back to the our table, chimed in about the bread. That was a bummer that they charge for bread, but we wanted it so we ordered it. The bread was delicious and so was the dipping sauce it came with. I think if a table requests bread, the first basket (s) should be free and then if they want a second helping maybe that's the one that should get charged . I know that sometimes people ask for seconds and they end up not eating it all. The waiter was attentive and the person who brought the food was nice too. As we were leaving, different staff members said thank you. I definitely will be back . The food, service and ambiance were good. Plus it's easy to get to and parking is great. Look forward to trying different dishes and looking forward to bringing friends that haven't tried it yet.

I like to eat here if I have to for a birthday or a group but overall, the meals are a bit boring. There is a salmon dish I like that isn't boring but most of the pasta is just a dull plate with pasta and sauce. Service is fine. Nice waiters.

I noticed the new brightness and remodeled main dining room since last visit. It was fresh and welcoming. We tried the Harken Chardonnay and will have it again. The chicken Parmesan and pasta was impressive and tasty. There was enough to bring home for another meal or two! Staff were very welcoming and attentive throughout. Glad we came!

Cioppino was misdiocre. The crab inside was disgustingly old. Asked for no mussels or clams and it was loaded with mussels. Waitress forgot our drinks. I also ordered a meal to go for my signaficant other and asked for two slices of bread that came with the Cioppino (the only tasty item) and was refused. $100.00 for bad crab, mussels, and refusing to throw in or even charge me for two slices of bread and you get this review. Hope it was worth it. Would have rather had a Big Mac at McDonald's.
