This was always the place to go for a special occasion. Food was very good. Fairly good acoustics. Comfortable seating. Love the pasta and zucchini starters. . Poor waitress had too many tables. We waited almost an hour just to get the starters. Need more help.

One would think that with an Italian name, it would have great Italian food….it doesn’t. Ordered spaghetti and meatballs. Wife ordered ravioli. The sauce was extremely sweet and the pasta was over done. I love Italian food and this was not good. Sorry to be so blunt. However, I understand the ribs are good and so are the shrimp.

We stopped in our the way through town. It had pretty good ratings on Google… We ordered the zucchini which was exactly what it said it had very bland breading and was deep fried. Nothing to dip it in or to add any flavor. My husband had the chicken parm which he said was “ok.” I had the manicotti (It came with 2 meatballs) which was passable but not great. It had hard edges like pasta sometimes does when it is microwaved. The salad was tiny and was just lettuce with a couple tomatoes. The bread was served cold. It was not what we expected for a restaurant rated a 4.4 and it cost $50.

Family oriented, tables are relatively close so it can be loud.

I avoid sharing unpleasant experiences on social media. However this one warrants sharing. I ordered a medium rare (warm pink center) filet. I cut into the outer edge and it was blood red. I told our server and Destiny told me that I can wait until she’s finished with others in our group. I don’t like sending food back to the kitchen, but this steak was inedible. The filet came back and Destiny asked me to check it. I cut the filet in the middle and the steak was still bloody. Destiny called over to whom I presumed was the manager and loudly stated “Can you come over and deal with her”. Several people in the dining room heard her…So the man comes over, gets uncomfortably close to my food and says; “It looks medium rare to me”. Although he offered to have another prepared for me, I declined. I was told that they would not charge me for the filet. When Destiny delivered my check, the total did not reflect the removal of $28.95 filet. I brought this to Destiny’s attention and she became a bit hostile and pointed to the top of the bill which reflected no charge for the filet. I explained to Destiny that the TOTAL did not reflect the removal of the charge. Destiny grabbed the bill out of my hand and recalculated my bill. Although it was inaccurate, I chose to just pay.

Was not quite as good as previous times ,however it was still as good or probably as good as any other steak joint . But we were a group of 8 ,do to get them all out the same time the steaks (4 filets) were a bit cold and undercooked.(just slightly ,but still very good).Plenty of bread and fried Zucchini to hold us all over til meals arrived. Only had 1 waitress ,but did a very good job. It was an overall very good experience.

Always good food and good portions. Pricing not as good as the old days but probably fair considering how food prices have gone up. Their specials are a good value.

A great place to eat and when I was there, service was quick. A little chilly but coming from Alaska, not bad.
