The menu features a variety of delicious Italian dishes, including gluten-free pasta options and tempting items like lasagna, spaghettini bolognese, and pork tenderloin. Customers have described the food as very delicious and fresh, with many enjoying appetizers and main meals like the parmesan chicken, fettuccine pasta, and the Italian Seafood Zuppa. The restaurant is known for its consistently high-quality food and exceptional service, making it a popular choice for business meetings, celebrations, and family gatherings. The atmosphere is welcoming, with an upbeat buzz, though it can be a little noisy at times. Many consider it an affordable option with good quality. Some guests have experienced issues with service, describing it as hurried and inattentive, with repeated requests for water, large menus taking up space, and pasta served without spoons. Despite these mixed reviews, the restaurant remains highly recommended, especially for its great dessert and coffee options, alongside complimentary bread. The place has a lively vibe and is praised for its outstanding Italian meals, from antipasti to desserts like Zuccotto, with friendly and professional staff. It can be busy and difficult to hear conversations at peak times, but overall, it offers a memorable and enjoyable dining experience.
