general cleanliness (especially floors) was poor. menus were sticky with lamination peeling (all 4 menus we got). be prepared for your first choice of entree to be denied due to being out of this or that. uncomfortable indoor air conditions (hot and humid).

We chose this spot because the of the online menu, and we were traveling so we wanted to try something new. Unfortunately the actual menu does not align with what is actually offered. If you are vegetarian I would recommend finding a different restaurant. I ordered a House Long Island cocktail and I was SHOCKED when I was told this drink was $10.25!! This was a small drink that could be consumed in about 3 sips!

I don't care how the food is. I'm glad I finally found a warehouse in which I can store all my spaghetti. To start with, I'm storing my spaghetti and Dayton. Next stop? The world!

First off we had to ask for service, no one showed up and others were getting served before us that had come in after us. But we did get a great server when we asked. My husband and I almost always get the lasagna. But last night, May 24,2025, we got the 4 for $45 special. Everything was ok but not the 15 layer lasagna we are used to. Nor did it look like the picture. So we were a bit disappointed about that. Not sure we will return.

Normally when I’ve come here I’ve had a good experience but this time around not so much . It took a few to have server come to the table and didn’t think she was super friendly . I got flat bread pizza and it was burnt and the cheese was falling off of it and then on top of it the soda machine was down and the table was sticky . Hopefully a better experience next time around .

The environment here is unchanged for decades and is a comfortable place for a family gathering. And that's exactly what this visit was. The environmen is inviting and offers up a lot of conversation starters.
The food is the same menu items that you come to expect here. The quality just is not the same as I remember. Eeyore been around a long time and agrees. The beer chili was very runny and far from the great bold flavor it once had. The chicken parm was overly fried, so a bit dry and too crisp. The lasagna was okay, but the noodle was a bit slimy so the prep was lacking. And the pasta, the meat sauce was okay although the spaghetti was a repeat of the lasagna noodle, too slimy/ wet. The added sausage, goes with the overcooked theme.
Overall, it's still okay. But this place should be better than just okay. At one time this location and a few others I been were all 5 star establishments with great food quality. Now it's the low end of a 3 star and on a slippery slope to a 2 star rating.

I attended an annual convention in Dayton, and we always have dinner here! Food is always great and the atmosphere is great.

Cool place but pretty basic menu and the server took 3 tries to get our checks split correctly, ended up just paying it

Hot good and a lot of food Could hear the dish room are the kitchen playing rap music and gangster type music you can hear yourself think they were very few people in there and we sat in the trolley and we couldn't even talk to each other. When we asked about it they said oh that's just the kitchen helps music crazy ruin the atmosphere
We used to go all the time and it was our favorite place to eat but this experience was just terrible. When we got our water and bread a waitress turned the fan on and dust started blowing all over our table. The staff didn’t seem to care at all till we said something and instead of turning the fan off they made us move tables. Our food was dry like it was sitting under a heat lamp for too long. And as we were packing up our leftovers we found a hair in our food. We asked to get it taken off and the manager just didn’t seem to care or apologize for anything that happened while we were at the restaurant.

We met my sister here which is about half way between our place and hers. We have had other family meet us here as well. I'm positive we will be back SOON. Their food and employees are great 😋

Be careful when reserving for a group party. One person to handle serving drinks and dinner made the experience not a good one. (Party of 20 people). Drinks were approximately 30 mins (old fashion = one shot of Maker's Mark, a cherry and a orange slice. They forgot my meal. Not recommend for parties.

First of all the parking situation is horrible, it’s not terrible hard to find but there’s absolutely no easy access and if you miss it once you get suck in the one ways. And if you drive an SUV or truck your mirrors are 🦆🦆(a lovely time, almost better than the service)
The bathroom was scary and waitstaff were severely inattentive and lacking in waitress and customers service training, not speaking of the clearly seasoned waitresses whom I dearly wished took our table. Speaking of I had the wrong dish brought out twice because the lady wasn’t listening nor writing down or orders and forgot about us multiple times. Anyways situations which were made all the more uncomfortable with the couple tables that were present (a larger party and an older couple) were all gossiping and complaining.
I’m a huge pasta and spaghetti fan and I’m very let down to say the least haha, I would not recommend anyone though I may buy gift cards for my enemies <3
Just a fun place for good Italian food
