So, my experience here. I so wanted to like my experience. The food was good, I got the vodka pasta. However, I specifically asked for Angel Hair pasta and was given regular pasta. First strike. I also got the, tiramisu and that was good. Lastly I got a chocolate covered cannoli, and was so excited. When I bit into it, I found that the literal entire inside was hollow. Not lightly filled—hollow. I wish I could say I was joking, but it was abundantly clear that they just put filling on the ends to make it *look* filled. Solid bait and switch. Second strike. I brought this to the attention of the cashier worker who was lovely, but told me “sorry, I don’t have any control over that.” Third strike.

Not sure if they’ve been told to do that, or if it’s just the person making the cannolis, but you’ve lost a customer.

We had a delicious cannoli that had no filling other than what you could see on each end, it was empty in the middle unfortunately. Disappointing for a $5 cannoli.

Thirty-five years here, the BEST eggplant parm I've had.

We ordered the alfredo and chicken parmigiana . The pasta was over overcooked and the chicken parmigiana was just soo dry and salty . The chicken on the alfredo wasn’t tasting good at all not to mention the pasta on the chicken parmigiana the marinara was lumpy and dry just making the pasta dry too couldnt even coat the pasta.

My husband and I ordered on Uber. Arrived still warm, we were really excited to try this place. However, after actually digging in, the Alfredo pasta was just dry mushy noodles. The “chicken” looked and tasted like it came from a two day old whole chicken from the grocery store. The basked spaghetti my husband ordered was 90% cheese. He got two medium sized meatballs for an extra 5 dollar charge. All in all just super unsatisfying and 100% not worth the money. Applebees would’ve been better than this. Don’t bother. Will be getting a refund.

The chicken parmasean was the worst we've ever had. Chicken was tough, sauce was so acidic. The canoli was so bad. The shell was soft and the filling was more like a greasy frosting than a cream filling. The tiramisu was dry.

I Uber eats it! Made to my place still too hot to hold. It was perfectly cooked, and flavorful. Giant portion. I got the chicken pesto!

I got the Alfredo pasta to go an hour before closing time. Midway through eating, my mom took a bite of pasta and pulled out white/blonde hair… and it did not belong to either of us. I tried calling as I wanted a refund but no one answered. $18 worth of pasta had to be thrown away because we were so grossed out by the hair.

Worst part is that was our only dinner and we drove 20-30 minutes away to pick it up only for that to happen. I used to really like this place but my experience has deterred me from being able to eat here again.

Vodka chicken was superb

Got the chicken Alfredo and very underwhelmed. The sauce tastes watered down and from a jar. The chicken has no flavor. Save your money go somewhere else.

This place was terrible. I ordered an Alfredo pasta and it was disgusting. The pasta took 30 minutes to make when there were only a couple of people at the restaurant. When the pasta came it was in a soup of Alfredo sauce. The pasta was completely over cooked and the chicken was very undercooked. The pasta portion was also very small for a price of 20$.
