I’m sorry but this place is a joke. I can’t believe there is an actual Italian person that works at this place. Subway has a better Italian sub. The bread is soft and has no texture, everything tastes like it has sugar. The meats and cheeses taste like Kroger deli. Shredded iceberg lettuce that is not fresh. Just YUCK. It’s clean and cheap and they are very nice - but this place is not Italian food. It’s marinara McDonalds.

My favorite is the lasagna. Try the oil on the bread they offer. I use the butter and oil. The sandwich is good. Fried mushrooms my wife loves. The ranch is great for the mushrooms.

We went for the Easter Buffet. The food was hot, tasty and there was plenty of it. Turkey, ham, spaghetti, gondolas, salad,cake,etc.I forgot take pictures of all that delectable food. The servers were attentive and pleasant. It was a great place for Easter dinner. We really enjoyed ourselves.

It was okay. The waitress was the best part. She handled a lot of tables and did well. The food was mediocre and there was an auction next door so the environment wasn't the greatest.

Went and tried the Chicken Parmigiano and it came out as just a fried chicken cutlet with cheese on it, no sauce. Pretty disappointed.Everything was sweet too, sweet bread, sweet Italian dressing, sweet sauce on the spaghetti, sweet marinara for the mozzarella sticks.I've tried the gondola sub as well and wasn't too impressed by that either. The bread was sweet and there's no mayo, mustard or dressing of any kind on it.I gave it twice tries, and I was disappointed both times. I won't be returning.

Price is reasonable, but everything is so sweet. The bread is sweet, the sauce is sweet, the house dressing is sweet. Got the spaghetti with bruschetta mix and mozzarella. The pasta was okay, but enjoyable. The cheese... was not expecting to have too chew my cheese.

The place definitely has an old school vibe which isn’t necessarily bad, but the food is pretty subpar quality. THAT BEING SAID we did just get a chicken strip basket ($12ish) and a meatball sub ($10ish).The highlight is the bread basket. It’s very sweet! The wait staff was also very kind and attentive.
