Had a great experience, and will be back for more. The atmosphere, the food, and the service was all incredible. They gave a great wine pairing recommendation.
Left feelling stuffed and happy.

It was very lack luster there was absolutely no flavor to my Alfredo fettuccine and my date had baked ziti and it was gross as well no flavor in it as well. This was the 2nd time trying and will not be back.. the wait staff was just standing around and plates were being served to wrong tables.

Very good food

Only reason I gave 4 stars rather than 5 is they weren't serving pizza and they had no notification of this until we tried to order some for our kids besides that the service was amazing and the food was good

I don’t like writing non-positive reviews. But I feel like others should know before they go. The service was amazing. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. The food was terrible. My chicken breast tasted like McNuggets (chicken flavored bread) and the Alfredo and red sauce was bland and tasted like chef boyrdee. The garlic rolls were the only shining star. They were busy so other people must like it. Maybe we just had an unlucky day and meal choice. But I won’t be going back.

Our party size was 6. It was for an early Father's Day dinner. The food was great and warm. Chicken parmesan was so tender I used my spoon to cut. We had to ask for my dad's drink it took a while to get. Had to ask several times for bread refills and no parm cheese was brought around for our food and we just gave up on asking for what was supposed to be part of a standard of service. The service needs to be worked on but the food and the wine were good!

This was an amazing experience. Not a huge fan of Italian but they won me over with their fresh made sauces and amazing choices of entrees. I’ve never been a fan of Italian for all the premade food 🍱but obviously this changed me because this was all fresh and I’m In love. The mushroom appetizer was beyond tasty. The entrees were so very good and large. The desserts were the best ever. Mixed drinks perfectly done. I literally have zero complaints except my tummy is wayyyyyy too full. We will definitely be back

So very disappointed in our experience here 12/7/24. I called a month or more ago to book a party of 50 people for a very special 60th birthday party. I spoke on the phone with Divi, the owner/manager about 3x the month leading up to the dinner party. He assured me many times that we’d be taken well care of. He asked me to confirm our guest count the week of because he was having 4 dedicated servers come in for our dinner. Our reservation was for 7pm. At 7:42 we still had not been greeted by a single server, let alone had any drink orders taken. It was 8:36 before we got drinks and a greeting from Divi saying he's sorry but he has 97 orders to fulfill before he could get to ours. We still had no bread or salads that were supposed to come with the $24.99/person we were charged (before drinks). That price included bread, side salad + a choice of one of 4 basic entree selections. Kids were not given kid menus. They had to choose one of the 4 entree choices for $24.99 or share one with each other. Some people didn't receive their salads and those who did, it was hit and miss whether they got dressing. We had to wait long on refills. When we started getting entree it was 8:59 and some people were done eating before others even received their food. This was such a terrible and embarrassing experience to have so many loved ones just sitting around frustrated and confused for 2.5hrs. The birthday man asked for the whole check because he was so embarrassed that anyone would have to pay for this experience. He was not offered any discount or even a birthday dessert. Divi was deceptive of what our experience would be and dismissive of any concern raised during our visit. Our entire party is in agreement that this was the worst dining experience we’ve ever had. My father in laws 60th birthday was ruined. I feel as if myself and my mother in law wasted so much time communicating with Divi to arrange this dinner over the last month. My mother in law even physically stopped in on Wednesday to discuss final details with divi and i called the day before to ask about kid’s meals. Let down is a complete understatement

I had lunch at this restaurant. I ordered from the lunch menu. I ordered "eggplant parmesan"! I have had this dish elsewhere, so much better. What I dislike about this place was mostly the fact that when I left the restaurant, I was still hungry. Three tiny pieces of eggplant parmesan so pitifully small served with a salad which was a small portion of thinly cut up lettuce with cheese and a small slice of tomato and three rolls. Why not offer bigger portions so the customers do not walk out hungry?
