We ordered from this restaurant for dinner hoping for a little Italien experience.What we got was a greasy mess. Our calzones were dripping of oil. The flavor was completely overpowerd by grease. Flooded is and understatement. The Alfredo sauce I received along with my calzone had no flavor at all to it. That could perhaps be because my mouth was coated in oil. So disappointing and we will not be returning to eat here. For the heavy price tag this was awful and a disgrace to italian food. If I could ask for my money back, I would.See video where the oil literally oozes out of the calzone.

Their chicken parmesan sub with fries was really good.

The staff is always friendly. And I never have an issue adding or subtracting anything from my meal. I love the chicken bowtie pasta (without the chicken), but I always replace the chicken (because it's flat, with no taste, and just overall not my favorite) with shrimp and blue crab/lobster ravioli. I also add garlic to my dish. That is the absolute best combo!! It's by far my favorite dish ever. I will say that I wish the bread that is served with it wasn't Fench bread, but instead garlic bread. It tastes fine as it's buttery, but it would be nice to have something better. Prices are great as well. My husband loves the Greek spaghetti with salmon. It really is so very good. Takeout or dine-in, the food is always piping hot.*Updated review. I knocked off one star because the girl that answered the phone to take my takeout order, was unfriendly, pushy, and didn't even let me finish ordering more food! Also, when I order my pasta and subtract the chicken, I'm always given shrimp in its place, but this time I didn't get anything! Unhappy!

I had the eggplant parmigiana and the noodles had a funny fruity taste to it. An hour later I was sick!

This place is great!! The food is amazing and I don't know why, but there is never a crowd, even at peak eating times. The spicy chicken pasta is the best. Hubby has tried one other thing on the menu, but came back to the original love?

The food and prices here are great. Location kinda sucks since it's in a strip mall but I do enjoy this place. You can bring in your own bottle of wine.

Came to get pizza. Ordered half cheese half pepperoni. Pizza came out and there was multiple pepperonis on every single slice of cheese. Pepperonis are under the cheese so if you take them off, all the cheese came with them. Told our server (she was great, was very nice the whole time) but then shareef, who I’m assuming is the manager, came out and told us it was our fault for not ordering two small pizzas and was very rude throughout the whole process. Disappointed because they have good pizza but dude really ruined the whole establishment
