Went to dinner here a couple months ago about end of November with my family I can’t remember the exact date and was questioning if I should even write this review until I talk to my family that lives in hico and they told me, them and there friends have had the same issues here. The food was overall amazing. Pretty good for a small town in my opinion! Definitely recommend the chicken Marsala, and the chicken Alfredo pizza, we got, not so much the salad honestly tho. We got sat by a waitress named kindrea or something and right off the bat she was a little off ish towards us, was no biggie until every time she came to the table she was rude with a attitude, did not check on us very often at that. while the other waitress working that night didn’t get her name but was a browned hair short girl wearing leggings, was very nice and was more attentive to us then our actual waitress! To top it off we heard our waitress go to the back and talk about us, she was rather LOUD about it, and most certainly rude. We also listen to the cook in the back being rude and almost yelling at both of the waitresses. Is this how they treat there employees? Is this how they allow there waitresses to act towards customers? Bad experience but great food overall.

Delicious pizza! We ordered a Alfredo with chicken and added spinach, chef’s kiss. Meat lovers was delicious also. Fresh, hot, perfect crust & super yummy ranch for dipping. We will be back.

We come here often and have never had a bad time! We have a very big family and the staff has always been so patient and attentive when we arrive. Our food has always been fresh, delicious, and PLENTY. It’s also extremely affordable. Although they do get busy at times, I know they are a family business thriving so I never mind!

Small town feel, big flavor. I'll admit, I was a little apprehensive when my salad came out swimming in water. It had been washed but it clearly wasn't dried. However, most of that apprehension left immediately when my son's pizza arrived to the table. It looks fantastic, just a simple pepperoni, but it was clear someone knew what they were doing. Crust was perfectly done. Not greasy either. I had a similar reaction when my wife and I's food arrived. I tried a riff on a classic chicken parmesan, basically the same thing but with Alfredo instead of red sauce. My wife had the cannelloni. Both of which were much better than I've had in similar establishments. The Alfredo tasted homemade and the sauce for my wife's cannelloni tasted like it had been simmering for a good long time.
Unfortunately as we finished our meal there was a bug in the to-go box. A terrible way to end the meal but the staff was quick to fix the issue. All together a really nice experience, we'd definitely be back.
Food is decent but the service is terribly slow. I've been before in the past and mentioned to my coworker we should stop by since they had never eaten there before. We sat for 15 minutes and no one ever came to check on us. We decided to leave and I felt bad for even recommending it. Maybe you'll have better luck.

Me and my husband normally eat here all the time but after this time we will most likely not be returning. We spent over $60 and left a tip, only for our pizza to be cold, burnt, and not even cut. Our salads aren’t even half full.. they’ve never looked like this before. Along with, one of our containers were not fully shut all the way and ended up leaking everywhere. Whenever I called to place the order, the lady wasn’t paying attention to me at all, she kept talking to someone else in the background and laughing, making me repeat my order multiple times.. whenever we went to pick up our order, the lady at the drive-thru window was also very rude. Not to mention, they tried charging us an extra dollar just for a side of ranch even after we paid and tipped. We’ve never had to pay for a side of ranch before and normally I wouldn’t mind but a dollar is ridiculous for a small cup of it. Definitely was not a pleasant experience and I don’t know if we will be returning anytime soon.

Food was decent. Service was pretty slow (we were the only ones there for most of our meal). Chicken Marsala was very good. Stromboli was pretty good. Tiramisu was definitely not homemade. It was frozen sold when they brought it to our table. They were nice enough to remove it from our bill, since we could not even eat it.

Don’t order the Ziti with eggplant. It was one huge tough piece between the ziti and the cheese. When I mentioned to the waitress how tough the piece was, her response was, “I don’t eat eggplant” and threw up her hands.

We ate here tonight for the first time. Had the Tortellini Alfredo and a. white pizza. Omg it was so good. Literally the best tortellini Alfredo I’ve ever had. The sauce was so smooth, creamy and full of flavor. The pizza was amazing as well. Highly recommend and we will be frequent flyers here.
