Very yummy food and little wait time because not many people where there

Strange experience. No customers in the place the whole time we were there. No paper towels in bathroom, no toilet paper, fairly dirty floors. Two kinds of pop ordered: one was flat and other tasted like soap. Garlic cheese bread was one large piece of strange bread with some cheese. Bruschetta was a pile of small chunks of bread and weird oily tomato topping. Salad is literally a small plate with some lettuce. Stromboli tasted ok, but very small for the cost. Pizza looked like it was sat on while cooking and had no sauce. Second time I've been there and no one was there the last time either!! I can't believe this place is still open. How?? I can't recommend this place.

I read the other reviews and I was just hoping they were wrong, but this place should just close its doors. food was terrible. If you can’t make decent chicken Alfredo, then you shouldn’t have an Italian restaurant.sorry guys. The chicken that came with it was absolutely terrible. Wife did not eat it. They don’t take credit cards. They don’t have steak.

We were the only ones there, empty and very quiet, zero atmosphere or warmth. My food arrived mildly warm, terribly bland spaghetti marinara with a pasta that was a bit undercooked. It took 40 minutes to makes a chicken Cesar salad.

Place would be beautiful if it was clean. Salt and pepper shakers haven't been cleaned or refilled in a while. The service was unable to communicate appropriately. Food was disgusting and bland.

Nice restaurant & ambiance. A nice change from the usual greasy spoon or dive bar you often find in small towns. Our rolls were hot. Food was good. Service attentive & prompt. This is BYOB and no checks accepted.

I hate to say it but the food isn’t as good as it used to be. I always order the Alfredo plate and recently stopped adding chicken because it was starting to taste very bad, chewy and hard to swallow. Anymore, the pasta is just flavorless and it’s pretty pricey to waste but that’s what’s been happening. Being pregnant I’m just trying to satisfy a craving and give them another try time and time again but the last 10 times they have been disappointing us. Bread has come undercooked a few times as well. Tonight, the plate I was served was the worst it’s been. Now I’m left making my own Alfredo from scratch, after wasting money here, just to satisfy the craving. I don’t think we will be giving them another chance. I hope they get back to what they used to be, I truly used to enjoy dining here.

My first visit. Was there with 2 friends for at least an hour starting at 6 pm. We were the only ones in the dining room. Ordered a side salad for $4 & it consisted of a small plate of lettuce - no tomatoes, croutons, bacon bits etc. - just lettuce. Ordered the Italian sampler thinking it would provide plenty of food to have leftovers. Nope - small servings. Rolls were cold. Very disappointed in food quality & overall experience & highly doubt I'll make a return visit.

Food is always amazing. Staff has never been good and probably never will be. The dining area needs cleaned.

I ordered the pasta sampler. Which was supposed to be the lasagna the manicotti and the ravioli. We'll all they had was cheese ravioli so I substituted ravioli for spaghetti and he brought me a plate of spaghetti over manicotti with no lasagna and horrible sauce. I grew up Italian. Eating authentic Italian food and this wasn't it.
