I ordered two chicken Alfredo’s and an order of garlic bread. I asked to switch the regular chicken for breaded chicken which I prefer. When I looked at the menu online there was no pricing, so when I was given the total I was expecting a lot more quality then I received. I was actually really excited to try a new Italian place. The food is not worth half the cost. For $67 bucks I’m not happy at all. The breaded chicken was not crispy and the flavor and seasoning was lacking. The garlic bread that cost $5 bucks extra was poorly executed. The only positive thing I can say is that the portion size was big. I rarely post reviews but wanted to warn everyone. Please don’t waste your time !

Food was good but styrofoam Tupperware are not wise for hot food, our food was so hot it almost melted the styrofoam not worth the amount of money spent.

I ordered a dish with scallops, shrimp and mussels and had to search for the scallops. I came across a half scallop surrounded by lots of pasta and addressed my issue with the very nice waiter. He spoke to the cook, who said something to the fact that there were scallops in the dish, just chopped up, or something like that. Whete? Well, that was not to my satisfaction for the price and I don't plan on patronizing again.
2024 Update: still delicious and huge portions. The waiter we had today was amazing.It's a good restaurant. The portion sizes are huge so keep that in mind. Our waiter, I forgot his name, was very friendly.

Food was phenomenal. Huge portions and our server Matt was great. Helped us make the right choices for dinner. My wife is pregnant and she left as happy as can be…we moved here from Chicago a few months ago and have been looking for good local restaurants. We will definitely be coming back.One piece of feedback for the owner though was that it seemed a little dirty in the restaurant and in the bathrooms.

Very friendly atmosphere. The server was amazing. The owner was very friendly and thanked us for stopping in.The whole vibe was great. The food was mediocre. It would have been great if there was more flavor to the food. The food was very bland but I’m willing to try another menu item.

12/31/23 Dinner. It's a restaurant with a small dining room that has a 3/4 partition separating you from the kitchen. More partition than a wall. Consequently, you can hear what the chef says to the servers.We had the Funghi Trifolati (sautéed mushrooms, artichoke hearts, and peppers), which was just ok. Wouldn't order it again. Loved the Italian bread they served. We wound up with a 2nd basket of bread! And the bruschetta was fine (nothing special, tbh).When I ordered the Linguini Malafemmina (various seafood in red sauce served on linguini pasta), the server said they were out of scallops but that the chef would add extra of the other ingredients to make up for it. Ok, fine.Then I heard the waiter tell another table they were out of bow tie pasta. My wife ordered the ravioli dinner. The ravioli were mushy, like they had been thawed out and refrozen. Pasty. The sauce was good, but it chewed like the ravioli were old or had been left out too long.Reluctantly, we sent it back, and the server kindly asked if there was something else they could make, so my wife asked for the fettuccine alfredo, which was a better choice. Then we overheard the chef say "no more ravioli" as if he realized the rest of the product shouldn't be served.I wondered if the freezer with the scallops and ravioli in it had broken down. The food was probably better than we first thought since our dinner was tainted a bit by the foul language we heard coming from the kitchen. I didn't mind overhearing Michael Jackson's Thriller album that was playing in the kitchen. But it didn't help the dinner atmosphere.Our server was great. He did everything he could to make it right. Anyway, that's how our New Year's Eve dinner went. It was an average to a below par dinner for us.Reason to come back: To try it again on a better night.Reason not to come back: There are so many other places to try.Excellent: Uniquely satisfying. A special place.Very Good: Better than expected.Average: An everyday experience. Just OK.Fair: Below par. Dirty smells. & / or flies.

This place is a gem! We all agree that needs to be decorated better and have a makeover but I go there for the food. We love their bruschetta, lasagna, chicken parmesan, chicken tenders and tiramisu. They have so many good options, also you can bring your own wine and glass for only $8. The kids under 5 eat free. All their portions are huge, shareable and delicious!!!
Prompt service. Friendly knowledgeable waiter. Delicious chicken, shrimp, mushrooms with onions & peppers in a vodka sauce over linguini!! Excellent. Large portions! 5 stars!

I'm surprised this place doesn't have a 2.0 rating. We spent $85 on three entrees for a takeout order, including a required 15% gratuity, and I expected much more for the price.Unfortunately, the food quality fell far short of expectations. The chicken parm was disappointingly bland and lacked the crispiness. The Chicken & Broccoli Fettuccine Alfredo was ok but nothing extraordinary; it reminded me of the from Costco. The real letdown was the gnocchi, which tasted more like a dense flour dumpling than a gnocchi. Overall, a disappointing experience considering the cost.
