Food is nothing special definitely subpar meatball sandwich. It's like frozen meatballs and smashed tomatoes. Lasagna should've went to Costco.

Great portions for the price! I went through the drive through and got really nice service. Clearly homemade mozzarella sticks! Everything was very delicious! Will definitely be returning

My family and I ordered 2 fettuccine Alfredo's , a lasagna, and an order of (4) garlic bread. So very disappointed when I got home with our food and the fettuccine Alfredo's smelled and tasted spoiled. At $ 15.25 times 2 I kind of expect the food to not be spoiled. The lasagna tasted ok. The garlic bread looked like they took what would be a normal piece and cut it in half so $3.99 for four small pieces of garlic bread. Unfortunately I don't think my family nor I will be returning. Which saddens me because I love supporting small mom and pop businesses.

I had to cool down before I made this review. The food was average, the prices were high, and I needed translation for the menu. Apparently, I misunderstood what came with my meal and so did the new girl taking my order. The boss lady felt the need to come out to my table and explain my order, which unfortunately ruined my experience. The Alfredo was extremely greasy, and my eggplant was okay. Just lower your expectations if you decide to visit this business.

Honestly, we will Never going back I feel robbed from the portions they give you and charge you for every single item. They serve you in a to go foil container when you’re dining in and I’m not talking about a big one. It’s like The one you take leftovers in they charge you per bread not generous portions, and very plain basic taste spaghetti had to be extra charge with meatballs that were the size of gum balls and only came with two for nine dollars extra ordered fettuccine and charge for chicken charge. I ordered chicken Alfredo and mushrooms, and of course, each thing was charged and very small portions You’re honestly better off eating frozen food at least it would’ve been more and there was no condiments on the table to add salt red pepper or Parmesan because they probably charge you for it and the Caprese salad I ordered was a joke. It was 3 1/2 slices fake cheese More than balsamic vinegar dried basil leaves I never been to a Italian restaurant that had dried basil leaves. Real Italian restaurants They use fresh basil ???very upset, and I tried to give them a benefit of doubt by ordering the sub sandwich, and it was Very small for a 12 inch overall we spend about almost $100 including tip which I regret for two small size pastas and subway and Caprese salad I never been to such Small size Italian restaurant Italians restaurant are known to be generous and delicious foods So overpriced don’t waste your time and I’m looking at the old reviews and they never changed? It’s such a scam it was my first and last time I’ll ever go. We are not going to recommend anybody to go very upset.

First time trying this place and Im glad I did. I ordered a ham and turkey 6in sandwich. It was super yummy, just for next time i'd probably ask that they remove a brown sauce they put on it as the bottom got soggy. I also had the spaghetti and meatballs, big portion I couldn't finish it. I also ordered cheese and garlic bread which had to be my favorite. The woman taking my order even came out to the drive thru to take our order due to the glare from the sun on the menu. Super helpful. I enjoyed this place and would come back.

Ed must be turning in his grave. Nobody knows what they're doing. Prices are unrealistic and unfortunately workers aren't trained

This pasta place is wonderful! We used to eat here a lot but then they closed down. BUT now they are open again!! If I had a gif of bottle rockets or something like that I'd post that here. I know the owner but can't remember her name. I know, that's terrible. But she is a sweetheart and she has good food. The place is quiet and clean. I'm very glad they're open again!!

Do not eat here! I was ripped off here today. I was overcharged for a lunch size meatless lasagna and 2 bread. The bread roll was 1 inch wide sliced in half. I was changed $14.00 for a $7 half portion and $1.99 for a ration of break with but slapped on it. I hadnt been for 8 years and it has charged. There was no one there ordering food. I went thru drive thru and a woman wearing a mask came out of the restaurant to my car to take my order because she didnt want to use the headset. My passenger ordered spaghetti and meatballs, 2 breads and a coke. Her total came to $30. Why? She refused to pay that. $14 for the spaghetti and $9 for the meatballs is what the lady said. I asked for a menu, there were no prices listed. There is something weird going here.

Time to re-visit this Italian restaurant. Counter staff was very friendly. We ordered zucchini appetizer and two sandwiches. Dining room was very clean with red and white tablecloths as you’d expect when you imagine a quaint Italian restaurant. Z fries came out ahead of the sandwiches and were tasty. Chicken parm hot sandwich was packed with breaded chicken on a toasted roll. Good flavor balance of cheese, sauce and chicken. Other sandwich was cold Italian, more like a grinder as the bread was also toasted. Generous amounts of meat. Plenty of other items on the menu to warrant a return visit.
