I’m SHOCKED by how good the reviews are here because start to finish this place was utterly disappointing. Got fettuchini Alfredo, very bland.. no flavor at all.. & tiny! then they charge TEN DOLLARS + TAX PER 4 SHRIMP & have the audacity to serve some rubbery overcooked shrimp.. wow. Also got garlic cheesy bread, just cheap bread with a thin layer of cheese.. super bland. Ordered French fries & they were as soggy as can be. The spaghetti and meatball meal was a good size, but had almost no sauce at all. Perhaps they’d be wise to have some type of quality control checking these orders before they go out. $75 wasted right down the drain.Overall I would absolutely not recommend this place! Honestly could’ve got a bigger, better, & greater value at Olive Garden or down the road at Marino’s!

This is our new, favorite Italian food restaurant!First of all, why 1 star docked? Similar to other folks out there mentioning, it's the slot machines. Just kinda ruins the vibe of an otherwise cute Italian theme. Cheapens it.Okay, the important part, the food and service.Food was excellent! Bread was just great!Chicken parm was tender and flavorful. Baked spaghetti and meatballs was delicious. And their pizza was on point for thin crust. Only complaint was the salad wasn't the freshest, but that's the least bit I would worry about.Service felt show, but I belive it was because of the quality of food we received. Takes time to cook well and that's just fine for me.Overall great experience and will definitely be back.
Alfredo was pretty good! Very parm forward, good texture, and al dente. Steak Milanese was a disappointment. Wasn’t actually a steak, pressed ground beef hidden under a layer of bland mozzarella. And why ask how I’d like it cooked when all you deliver is medium grey? Service was attentive but not overbearing. Atmosphere couldn’t quite escape strip mall with its textured paint, faux marble border, more textured paint in separate shades of beige. All-in-all mediocre.

WOW, we had two fantastic experiences here. First was Helena she was so kind and knowledgeable and her smile lit up the room. I have to say it was not a good day for us. We had to have our lab in emergency surgery due to a bad infection from Spay. So needless to say I was a basket case. Anyway I left feeling better and full. Second visit with my daughter when we had to come back to get her staples removed. April was our server and again just amazing service. It’s been a whileThat I could honestly say what another fantastic lunch was. Thank you so much for making us smile, filling our bellies and hiring the most amazing staff. ?

Got here an hour before close and the manager didn't want to seat us. While looking at his watch he said, "The kitchen closes in 45 minutes, you may want to find somewhere else."

Went for my grandmothers birthday dinner and was welcomed with great customer service and smiles on everyone’s faces. We had Patty as our server and not only was she very polite and had amazing customer service she was very helpful with anything we needed in the time we were there. Our table was 14 people and she handled it like a pro. The entire family loved the food and atmosphere and all agreed we’d be back!

I ordered a double dough pizza. They gave me thin crust. Manager didn't believe me because the cook said he made double dough. So I brought it back. And they made me another. It still wasn't really double dough. More like thick crust. So they charge extra for their version of double dough. I can't imagine what a thin crust looks like.On top of that it said it came with a free 10 inch cheese. My online receipt showed the free 10 inch pizza. But its funny. The receipt they had, did not show up on receipt. They wouldn't give me one. The manager didn't even say hello. He seemed kinda mad that I brought it back. The pizza was pretty good though. But unfortunately I will never be going back and they should remove the double dough off their menu. It's not double dough. It's actually misleading. My whole family agreed.The double dough pizza from other places are actually double dough.

Great place for a Date night! Was driving around looking for a place to eat when we can across this one. The outside does it no justice at all. Warm and very inviting atmosphere. The food was delicious and Lisa (the server) was so friendly and great for her recommendations.Besodes the bar it also has slots to sit and play. This is a hidden gem!! Will definitely be back for more!!!
