Olive Garden would have been better. Bread was hard as a rock. Alfredo was watered down. Tiramisu was soggy. It wasn't horrible just wouldn't get Italian from here.

I rarely post anything negative about a restaurant as I believe that anyone can have a bad night.But, our server was terrible. She forgot utensils, napkins, oil, and vinegar for the table. The balsamic vinegar used for the restaurant was thin. This means that it wasn't aged and tasted like a cheap vinegar. The olive oil should have he ad some flavor and fragrance. It possessed neither. When the utensils WERE finally brought, the comment from our server was that we would have to roll our own. We asked about specials and we're told "We don't do those here". The server had no knowledge of any of the long wine and beer list and only brought a list after being asked. We were allotted one stained list for 5 people. The paper menus looked as if they had been printed on a cheap printer in house and most had food stains as they weren't even laminated.Then we got to the entrees. First, the server got one order wrong and argued about it. (It was supposed to be a simple fettuccine Alfredo. This had shellfish and mushrooms. That party is allergic to both!) The sauces were thin and the pasta tasted as if it were waterlogged. I had the vodka sauce. This should be a pink sauce that clings to the pasta because of the cream added to a red sauce base. It was thin and had very little flavor.As I said when I started, I don't do negative reviews. (You can check my history!) But, this was a complete waste of time and money!

The food here is AMAZING, and I love it. But the restaurant lost some points for me yesterday… it was my birthday and I wanted dinner here with my friends. I called the night before to make a reservation and was told “no need come on in and we’ll get you seated no problem”. The next day (night of dinner) my friend called 30 minutes before we planned on going, just to check and make sure, and was told the same thing. We both talked to a lady. We walked in at 6:00 and saw people sitting and waiting for a table, and were told it would be a 50 minute wait. We brought up the fact that we called TWICE and were told we’d be seated no problem. The young man went to the back to talk to someone, another young man came up and just said sorry but it’s going to be 50 minutes we weren’t planning on being this busy. We asked to sit at the bar, he said it’s full. Don’t tell people not to make a reservation then and to come on in we’ll be seated no problem!!! You never know how busy you could be!!! Very frustrating. It’s a Saturday night, everywhere is now busy. We tried two other restaurants in the area, all had long waits. Had to squeeze up and sit at a bar in order to get dinner. That was my birthday dinner with friends. Very disappointed in this whole experience.

Went on Valentine’s Day and the service was horrible. Waters took forever to come out, food was served and no utensils were given and we had to ask someone else for them.. The server didn’t check on us and changed us to a different server without telling us. It would be one thing if this just happened to our table but we noticed it happening to every table in our section where utensils where having to be asked for and reminded for water or just basic needs that should not have to be asked for. Disappointed as this place was a childhood memory of mine and I always loved their food.

We had a birthday celebration on a Saturday night, and this place was jumping! Dishes ordered included Fettuccine Alfredo, spaghetti and meatballs, Steak Marsala, seafood pasta, and sausage and peppers. The children's menu included spaghetti, pizza and chicken nuggets. There was something on the menu for everyone, from 3 to 91! Be sure to save room for the chocolate cake, even if you are only celebrating the weekend. This place is not to be missed for a filling meal, lively atmosphere, and servers who treat you like family, even if it's your first visit.
Went in on Valentine’s Day knowing full well we did not have a reservation. We were given a time frame of when we might get a table. We were sat within that time frame. Staff were amazing! Our server was so nice and personable, he even kept checking in even in the huge rush of a busy Valentine’s Day. The bread was amazing, and I am talking fresh bread. The fried raviolis had cheese that melted in your mouth instead of pulling and being overtly greasy, I would 100% recommend them. Our food came out incredibly fast, perfectly made. Not only are the prices incredibly reasonable but also taste amazing. This place has Italian food market cornered in the quad cities. Will be back

This restaurant has the best italian food in the quad cities. It is a good-sized restaurant. There is a full bar on the backside of the restaurant. I loved the fried ravioli's and chicken fettucine alfredo. The food is top-notch, and the service is always attentive. Would recommend 10/10.

Was in there waiting for an order and the female just assumed that I was there like complaining about how long it was taken that wasn't the case at all it was about something that the app did so she could stop assuming she could take that attitude somewhere else she doesn't even need to be on the job how about. Remind me to never be a customer in this store. After reading some of the reviews I can actually add more. This employee and restaurant should be happy I wasn't an actual customer however, I was driving for one of their customers so for the woman to tell me to leave the way she did because she assumed I had an attitude about the wait time was wrong. Everytime I go into this restaurant it stinks so bad I want to puke all over the place.

Don't go here. Every aspect of our visit was terrible. Service was slow. Kitchen forgot(?) our order. An hour after sitting down, ONE of the four dinners showed up and the meatballs were cold. Two more showed up 5 minutes later and the sausage was cold. We left at that point and picked up Wendy's.
