We walked in hungry and we rolled out like stuffed cannolis--full and happy. :) I would absolutely come back. The gnocchi, tiramisu and cannolis were all fantastic.

Was excited to try this place! My partner ordered the gnocchi with the four cheese sauce and it was SO GOOD!! These were the best Gnocchi I had ever had. So soft, fluffy and potatoes! They really need to advertise their Gnocchi more. I had the lasagna, and it wasn't great. The sauce had a green olive taste to it that I wasn't a fan of.Also, we didn't know add-ons were included so make sure to ask about that. (We only noticed after on the website menu) These dishes come with a roll. It was ok, a bit crumbly.Vegetarian options: Gnocchi with tomato sauce

This truly a 1/5 review. I ordered the gnocchi with bolognese. The bolognese had no depth, it tasted like pureed canned tomatoes with ground beef. The pasta was topped with Kraft style powdered parmesan cheese. This cost $16! My fiancé ordered the chicken parmesan with penne pasta and bolognese for $22. (Insanely over priced) He described the chicken as a dish out of an elementary school cafeteria. It was dry, bland, and lacked any season. Oddly too, his food came on two separate plates. This place is more like a cafeteria trying to cut costs at every corner than real restaurant. We ordered bruschetta, which was just 4 under toasted slices of baguette with tomatoes and balsamic glaze. Also underwhelming and over-priced.The service was fine, high school kids run the show and they were nice enough. The cost was absurdly high for what you get, especially considering it's cafeteria style with no server. Overall, I wouldn't go back even if the food was half the price. Go to a real restaurant where you can find a variety of choices, good quality food and service for the price of this meal. To be honest, we disliked this restaurant so much I made a Yelp account to review it. Don't go here.

Gross. Food was expensive for how cheap & old it tasted. The Gnocchi tasted like bread dough that wasn’t fully cooked….I’m not sure if it’s just the day, or something went wrong, but I definitely wasn’t able to eat more than 3 bites of it. Had higher expectations for the Italian food here.

I really like the aesthetic of the place with the breaks and the kind of rustic vibes.The ravioli I ordered with a mix of tomato and four cheese sauce had good flavor and was enjoyable to eat. I liked it! The roll served with it was mediocre and seemed like it was likely a basic frozen roll. Kind of dry but fine.The portion size was decent but not what I would expect for a $16 price. I would have paid $10 for the food I got but $16 is too much.The whole place was a bit off for me because they advertise as "fast food" but they're priced more like a sit down restaurant with bigger portion sizes. The food wasn't even that fast either so it was just not really lining up with expectations or what was being marketed.On the other hand, my boyfriend LOVED his meatball sandwich and it was $9 which was honestly the perfect price for what he got. Might come back for some of the less expensive options but idk.Vegetarian options: They have a cheese ravioli and meatless sauces.

Food is really good! Especially the gnocchi. Now, I understand owners will raise prices because people will pay and I’m sure for their location, rent is high. That being said, they have just raised their prices to match nearby restaurants. $19 for a plate of pasta is reasonable for most mid to high priced Italian. Down the street, it’s the exact same prices for a higher end dining experience and great food. But for “fast food”? It’s disappointing, this place seemed approachable and now it feels more unrealistic, especially for lunch options. If there was even a $15 lunch special, that would be a little more reasonable especially comparing to past pricing.

Good flavors and nice serving size. We had meatballs with penne and bolognese sauce. Meatballs were rubbery. I am assuming they were previously frozen. Served with a soft dinner roll like you would get in a 12-pack at the grocery. Also had the gnocchi with vodka sauce. Tasty sauce and gnocchi were light and pillowy. Had cannelloni for dessert. Shells were average. Filling tasted like butter cream frosting with chocolate chips not sweetened ricotta as I would expect. Summary, the food was pretty good, I just expected a little better.

I'm a local and was hoping this would be good but the food came out faster than Mom could open a can of chef Boyardee. I should have stayed home and opened a jar. Would have been a lot cheaper and tastier. The salad was fresh and crispy and it came with a thick, white dressing but I don't think Ceaser had anything to do with this. The upside is that the people working are very nice and quick to answer any questions.

I almost let the bad reviews keep me from this place, but I decided to take a chance, and I am glad I did. Food portions were spot on. We ordered the meatball sub, fettuccine with vodka, ravioli, and bolognese. No one left hungry. The ingredients used were fresh, so was the pasta. My only complaint was the Hershey syrup on top of the tiramisu. I notice a lot of places add this in Utah.. If you order order it as for no syrup! Service was great - it's fast food! Restaurant was clean too.

For what it is I thought it was pretty good and reasonably priced. It was ready super quickly which we loved
Food was good but not enough for your money. No garlic bread just a roll without butter. Way overpriced for a fast-food Italian restaurant. Spaghetti is $19.99 with meatballs with no salad and no drink included. With everything your meal turns out being over $30.00 with tip. I would rather go to our local restaurant and have spaghetti and all the soup or salad you can eat along with breadsticks.

This place is 60 days from closing. Maybe less. There are 2 people working at 8pm on a Saturday night....with nobody else I'm the building. Lasagna is more similar to dog food than Italian food. I wish I had my money back. If you save money from this review, please see see my attached gofundme. Too bad. I think the location is just no bueno....all the adjoining businesses are vacant. It's on a side street. More traffic equals more income equals not dog food lasagna. Note: The fried gnocchi was edible, would order that again.

Delicious food! Good portions. They even remade our son's spaghetti without parmesan when he decided to be picky. Salad was so big and meatball sandwich was so filling and flavorful.

Was excited to try this place. All entrees are 12.99 and I thought pretty small portions- at that point I'll just go to an actual Italian restaurant. Food was ok but far from anything great. For their condiments they have ketchup and mayo (for what reason I have no idea) but no Parmesan, basil, or crushed red pepper... seems pretty cheap to me. Won't be returning, as I think others won't either since the place was completely empty on a Saturday evening.

Disappointing experience. It took 20 minutes to get our food and we and two other customers were the only people in the restaurant. The customer behind us got their food first. When we finally got the food it was extremely hot, like it was re-heated. We got chicken parm and it was bad. The breading on the chicken. Came off like a glove. It wasn't attached to the chicken at all. The pasta has no seasoning and is dressed in a ton of red sauce and nothing else. I wouldn't be disappointed if it didn't cost 21$! For one meal!! For that price, you can go to a sit-down restaurant and get a way better meal. I wanted to ask for my money back.Reply to the owner:The name of your established is literal "Italian Fast Food". Implying your fast food just like Macdonald's, at least there I would have gotten my food within a few minutes and have more money in my pocket. Like I'm not expecting to get my food in 5 minutes, but 20min for one plate ? with no other customers? You should be able to get one plate prepared while having online orders. Does it take you guys an hour to get food out when there are more than 5 customers ?? Yes, the review below is from my husband. He liked your food a little and gave you an okay rating. On the other hand, I did not. That's why we did separate reviews.
