Great place, good food, old school atmosphere, always consistent. Try the salad, pizza and the sandwiches. Small selection of beers, but the price is right.

The restaurant smelt awful. Food was terrible. The $28 ravioli was worse than the cans from the store. The cans in the store also come with probably double the portion they serve you here. Not to mention, the noodles weren’t even soft. Also came out with hair in it.We used to love the ravioli here. Salad was soggy. $16 for a tiny kids Alfredo was also very frustrating. Food quality just isn’t there.Our server was sweet, but we won’t be back.

Been going here for many years. Love their sauce recipes! And love the flavorful unique salad.

The food has just gone down hill, less toppings on the Pizza soggy salad and can almost see through the sausage sandwich. It’s been a long favorite of mine but not anymore. New owners need to check in.

I read the reviews before coming here. There were as many 5-star ones as there were 1-star ones, so we decided to see how it played out tonight.I ordered the chicken Alfredo, wife ordered spaghetti with meatballs. Salad and garlic bread accompanied the meal.Mine was bland, noodles were not fully cooked, chicken was overdone and dry. Her's was, in her words, "the worst I've ever tasted", and she is a LOVER of spaghetti. Has it everywhere she can order it. Noodles were "like rubber and tasted like paste" , meatballs were dense and bland, sauce was thick and unappatizing. Garlic bread was like two bricks. Salad was passable, but not enough to save the meal. Especially at a final cost of $75.00! We DO NOT recommend eating here, and we definitely will not return.

I walked in really hoping to love this place but the whole experience, aside from the waitstaff, was gross. The place had a rancid and dirty smell, the kitchen was dirty, the bathroom cleanliness made my child gag, and the food was nearly inedible and lack luster at best which would have been acceptable except the prices were unreal ($17 for a kid’s meal without a drink and before tipping). I don’t ever mind paying for good food but this was nothing close. I hope this place can turn it around because I’d love to come back if it improves.

Very DISAPPOINTED and was of my money!!!! The only reason I am giving a one is the service was awesome and I cannot give them less. I am from out of town and heard amazing things about this place. The only thing that was ok was the salad. I paid over 18.00 for a pasta dish that had so much vinegar taste in it i had a hard time eating any of it. I am not one to send food back and I should have for the cost. That is on me however I will probably not go back after that as I was so disappointed after hearing such great things and getting such bad tasting food. My stomach was upset when I got back to the hotel room but after a bit it managed to calm down.

The food was ok but the waitress was rude slammed it all down on table. Didn't check on us 1x there was only 1 other table in the whole place that was occupied. Maybe she was just having a bad day. Regardless no reason to ruin our experience.
