My family really loves this restaurant. The food is decent, though not quite like the Italian dishes we’ve had at other chain restaurants, but it does remind us of what we ate in Italy. The outdoor dining area also brings back memories of the charming restaurants we experienced there.

Best Italian food around. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu as it’s all fantastic! Their gelato is also a must try. Additionally, they offer great gluten free pasta options which can be hard to find elsewhere!

food was very good. Nice outdoor patio with an occasional freight train lumbering thru the woods. Our server was a bit pushy on appetizers, which are overpriced. Entrees were decent size and fairly priced
