Our server was amazing, I wish I had caught her name! We got a Buffalo Chicken pizza, meatlovers, and Grandma's pizza. All of it was really good, perfect amount of cheese, not too much ot too little. The house margaritas are strong but good. Update- Our server Taylor was as nice as can be. I had gnocchi with bolognese, the kids had a pizza, to which my picky youngest daughter loved, and my husband had the calzone. Pickup of pizza tonight. Always the best!

It’s a solid Italian restaurant. Nothing extra special though, the service was friendly and efficient and the food was tasty. They run drinks specials every day which is nice.

Service was fantastic and the food was good. Generous portions. Plenty of leftovers. Desserts were delicious as well and plenty to choose from. Food came out fairly quickly with little wait time.

Update: I spoke with the owner Josephine and she was very nice and apologized. She offered me a credit fot the food I ordered and explained that the person that took my order was still in training. I appreciate the level of customer service I received and will continue to patronize this restaurant. Ordered pasta over the phone with chicken and after driving 30m home I realized I did not have chicken. Called and the manager stated that I didn't order chicken and wasn't charged. I asked how can that be.. I would never ask for pasta with out chicken. That's the only thing I ever order from here. She very casually said well you can enjoy your other dish... which is made with mushrooms for my husband and I am allergic too. She was not accommodating at all. I asked to speak to the owner and she said she would be in tomorrow. Now I am cooking chicken to go in my dinner. For all this I cooked have cooked dinner from the start. Very poor customer service. I will be calling tomorrow to put in a formal complaint. Shameful as I have enjoyed this place for over 10 years.

Decent Italian restaurant with better than average food. Our kid loved his food and so did we. The wait staff was friendly and very helpful. We have been several times and enjoyed the food. It's exactly what I expect from an Italian restaurant with vinyl booths.

Awesome place! Traditional Italian feel to the restaurant. Very friendly staff, they make you feel welcome from first contact. We had a large group of 29 and they did a fantastic job - we had our own area. Cosy bar as well to sit and chill at. Would recommend to anyone in this area! Food was delicious!

The staff was quick to greet us and our waitress was very nice. Great service. It is one of the tidiest restaurants I've been in recently. A+ for that. We got lasagna and baked spaghetti, with salad and bread. The bread is sub par, esp for an Italian place. The salad was nice and fresh. The pastas were ok. When I dine out, I want better than I can make at home. This fails that test and for a price too! Glad we came but we can spend our Italian food dollars better elsewhere.

I got the shrimp scampi.. it was in a brown sauce? And no garlic flavor at all. My husband's marinara sauce was loaded with sugar. The bread was hard and coated with flour on the crust. This used to be a restaurant we really looked forward to. Something has really changed.

Was looking for something open with salad options near our hotel. Wow! Much better than I expected. The tomato sauce with spaghetti was excellent. The server was sweet. I probably wouldn’t have ordered dessert but she mentioned many visit just for it so I got the cream cake for later. So delicious!

Got there early which I think was the key. Food served hot and quickly by a fine server, Jordyn. Here for treatment at Duke and will return. Grilled chicken with veggies were delicious
