I will start by saying I was a loyal supporter.I ordered food from here every week.Sometimes twice a week.So I had some family and from out of town We decided to order 4 pizzas. They told me it would be 1 hour. I showed app 1 hour and 5 minutes after I ordered.I was told there was a mix up and were gonna start your pizzas right away. Come back in fifteen minutes and everything will be ready I come back 20 minutes later and and stand in the lobby for 10 minutes and ask them What's going on with my pizzas? It has been an hour and a 1/2.They now look at me. And say oh, we're gonna make your pizza right now. You're next, we promise give us 30 more minutes I guess they can tell I was frustraded at this point because I didnt say a word & then says to me do you want these pizzas or not? My uncle from out of town looked at him and said keep your pizza we're gonna go to a business that gives a ship. Do you blame us?

Service was great! Atmosphere was great! Food was ok but the proportions were huge. Wife and I could have shared the meal and been satisfied. Loved the family photos on the wall. Felt likewe were in an old Italian couple’s home.

Took 1 1/2 hours to get our food which by then we asked them to box up so we could take it home. When we got home it wasn't even what we had ordered. I called and they said to come back and they would cook it again. No way! They said they would credit me for the wrong meal on my debit card. They never credited anything. NEVER AGAIN! WORST ANNIVERSARY DINNER EVER!

Our first time hereThis is absolutely the BEST Italian restaurant I've ever been to!!! We had the beal parmigiana dinner. Their house dressing made the salad worth it's own trip. The veal was the real thing, no mass produced patties here. The ziti was perfectly al dented, their house sauce, perfectly seasoned and nice and thick. We could only eat half of the dinner and took the rest home for tomorrow night. Had to have the tiramisu. It was fantastic and, again, we had to take half of it home. Our waiter was the perfect blend of there when needed and invisible when not needed. The dining room is small so I would recommend reservations for dinner.

I can count the number of dissatisfied reviews I've felt the motivation to make on one finger; this is one of them. Usually I'm pretty forgiving when inconvenienced- mistakes happen, people have off days, etc. etc. but my order here got to me.Right about 6:30 I call in a pick up and told it'll be ready in an hour. It wasn't much; Fettuccini Alfredo with chicken, Calamari, and a kid's chicken cutlet meal. An hour seemed excessive but that's ok, at least we know. Now maybe other places have spoiled me but usually if i show up a few minutes early it's already ready. Not so. No biggie, I am early after all. I pay in advance which I later regret. At right about 7:30 I'm asked if it's ok if their Fettuccini being thinner than typical. After responding I notice the time and find it odd I'm being asked this now since surely it's ready? Nope. It's now 7:53 and my wife is texting me to cancel and grab some Wendy's which if I hadn't already paid I would have just walked out. We text a bit more and at 7:55 the order is finally ready. We're both annoyed, it's been an hour and a half without even a mention that it might take longer than normal on top of an already long wait. Granted, this was on a Saturday but I too work in an industry where delays demand a courtesy notice at least.At any rate, at least we got the food? I'm not going to exaggerate and say it was terrible but I won't lie either so here's a very honest review - for the price of $50 and an hour and a half wait time it was all very average, with a final insult that there wasn't even any marinara to be found for the Calamari, let alone a lemon slice. Luckily I had some sitting in the fridge but something fresh for the price and wait would've been preferred.For those that enjoy the place please continue. For the price the wife and I will just head to Carrabba's in the future.-Eric & family.Note: The wife wanted me to emphasize that the pasta used was not suitable at all for a good Fettuccini Alfredo and was overall exceptionally bland.

I have a previous review from when the new owners first took over. It was not a very good experience. I went back to give them another try. The food was absolutely amazing. Beautiful atmosphere and outside seating. Inside is a little tight. We had to wait about an hour and 20 minutes to get our entrées. But everything is made to order and they had a lot of takeout orders that day. But you get salad and bread While you’re waiting. And the food is just so good it’s worth the wait. The salad that comes with your entrée is huge. The best homemade house dressing! But the entrées still seem a little small. Our server seemed distracted. But there was a younger male server who kept us entertained. Lol.

Beautiful decorations a winter wonderland you sincerely have the talent to make people walk in and have nothing but smiles as you greeted us with a smile it is truly contagiousJeanie please come to our home and use your magic touch . We just got back in town on Friday and had to visit and was so happy to visit . Our server was excellent but unfortunately food took way to long we were only a party of four . We were visited by the manager Jeanie and she was the most pleasant and apologized about the wait and explained short staffed. When we finally gotten our dinner it was ok. As we were leaving we saw the manager also cooking with the chef you have a fantastic teamWe will return due to warm welcome and personal hospitality. Every restaurant needs this Thank You againVegetarian options: A few options

Unfortunately our trip here was quite horrible. An hour and a half wait time, with a reservation! Waited forever for our food. 5 other tables that came in after us... after us... recieved their food before us. Took 45 mins for our main food. Our appitisers were the only thing hot when they came out. Half of the orders were wrong, and or cold when brought to the table. Service was sub par for what a small place like this should even be. I don't like writing bad reviews, but this was a very terrible experience. Next time I'll just cook at home. Do not recommend.You guys need to change the structure of how you operate. As well, when disciplining your staff, you should do it where it's not in front of the customers. As well the owner on staff was extremely unaccomidating to our major concerns.Rating fits the establishment and how it operates. Seems like owner/management needs to take a good look at their day to day operations.Wheelchair accessibility: Would not recommend if you need accommodations, likely not enough room for you to move thru the tables, tightly squeezed in this tiny place.

We went there on a Thursday night and it was pretty empty. We were a family of four. We ordered bread, and 3 pasta dishes. The bread came out quickly, the salad and soups took 20 minutes. The soup just tasted like Panera bread and honestly Panera was better. Very lukewarm. The salad was just lettuce and 2 small tomatoes with dressing. Then the food. Oh boy the food. We waited a damn hour and a half for it. My dad almost fell asleep twice. Nobody else in the dining room got there food either. When we got it the pasta sauce tasted like pasta water and the other pasta was very drenched in a sort of pasta water sauce. It was slimy too. We didn’t even order dessert because we didn’t want to spend a eternity here. There’s better places around here, go there unless you got a whole day or night on your hands.

Long wait before sitting down and we had made a reservation, an hour for the food to arrive at the table and when it arrived it was cold or something different than what we had ordered. 8 at the table and absolutely none of us will spend money here again. Decent waitress and good starters.
