Literally just left this restaurant incredibly dissapointed and angry. Tried it off of the good reviews and I dont understand why. Ordered mozzarella sticks and they were all busted open from being over cooked. Husband got a tossed salad which was water logged and gross. He got the lasagna which was ok, but nothing special worth getting again. What pissed me off is that I ordered the Capellini Broccoli which is suppsed to be Angel Hair Pasta sauteed with Broccoli in a Garlic, Lemon and Wine Sauce. It came to me more like a orange soup. The noodles where severely overcooked and mushy, the sauce was disgusting, and the broccoli was pretty much raw. I went to talk to the "manager" and I asked why my meal came to me looking like an orange soup, and she said thats what its supposed to be. I said I didnt know garlic came in an orange color and she said thats what happens when you cook it in white wine, WRONG. She didnt even apologize to me for it being terrible and only argued with me!!! Comped the salad and my meal, but our tab was still $20. She was rude and we will never be going back and dont recommend you waste your hard earned money here.

The food here is absolutely delicious! Everything we have ever tried was amazing. I will say the deep dish pizza tasted a lot like the rolls, but that isnt necessarily a bad thing. The service is kind of slow in my opinion, but I guess good food takes time. We usually just spend the extra time eating rolls and enjoying the company. Today was a little disappointing however. We never received any rolls which could have been because it was very busy and a little chaotic. Drinks took a little longer than usual to refill also, but again forgivable as it was busy and once we asked another waitress helped out right away. The problem was when we went to pay with our Groupon, it was refused. I know today was a holiday, so I intentionally read the fine print on the Groupon 3 times to see if it would be excluded. There was no such info in the fine print. There were no signs posted anywhere on the outside or inside of the restaurant. So we had no way of knowing we would have to pay full price until after the meal was eaten. I think this is poor business practice and it leaves a sour taste in my mouth even after the yummy calzone!

Love love the food here and eat here often but ordered food that was delivered and had a less than ideal experience. Ordered on the phone and the person taking the order ask if Id be paying in cash and if I would need change and said yes. When the driver arrived he gave me my food and I handed him cash. He asked how much changed I needed back and I said $15 (my order was $19 something and didnt want to tip him change) he replied back well they only gave me $10 in change... looked at me for a second then dug through his wallet for another $5 and then proceeded to tell me I need to be specific with how much change Im going to need next time. Just a super awkward unpleasant experience.

What a gem! I love hole in the wall places like this. Its nice to get the kind of service that is personal and good and not contrived by corporate training. Food was fresh and authentic Italian. It is so hard to find authentic italian food around here. I sure hope they can stay in business, because their prices are so low! I recommend you come eat here before they raise them! I was very blown away by how nice the ambiance was inside. Its better than eating at Olive Garden, yet half the price. And on top of that, the food is authentic. Did I already say that? So what are you waiting around for, go there!

This is a awesome spot. Great food at decent prices. I love the chicken alfredo fetuccine on their lunch special and it comes with drink, salad/soup, their rolls and it was AWESOME!!!!! Not only is the food great but the staff are awesome and very friendly. The waiter and manager good took care of me and my friend today. This was a pleasant and great exprience. We will be back. I would like to give a special shoutout to the individual who paid it foward for me and friend today. Thank you!!!

Every entree is essentially a pasta dish or pizza, no healthy options, asked for coffee, they did not have any half and half or milk, loud Spanish music and cooks yelling in Spanish coming from the kitchen. Dinner salad was more basic than something you pull out of a bag at krogers, my chicken dish came on a plate covered in liquid watery sauce. Our server decided to eat his dinner while serving us. Did not meet any standard of an Italian restaurant.

The food was good, and the bread wonderful. House salad is simple iceberg. I liked that the lunch specials were good on Sunday. Service was good. Sweet waitress. Just an FYI ... Theres a $3 extra charge if you split a meal. Not so great .... the manager scolding us about sitting with friends who also had a Groupon. Yes, its in the fine print. No, it wasnt planned; we chose the same place after church. Separate checks. 2 peeps on each check/groupon.

By far the worst Italian restaurant Ive been to!! First it took 45 mins to bring the food and when it came it wasnt even made the right way! I asked for fried chicken on my Alfredo and still got grilled. And the Pizza I would have rather bought frozen! And I never received my salad! So closing this off with a suggestion for future customers dont waist space in your stomach for this (food) ! Just call olivegarden! !! Your welcome!

Never eaten in, always get delivery or pick up. I am not a fan of Italian food but thier food is just amazing and and a hidden jem in the area. If you like sea food get the. Seafood fetacheni with pink sauce. All the veal dishes are also amazing. Bread is amazing. Nothing special in the appetizer department but dont worry an entry is more food than you can/should eat. If you have not tried, please do!!

Food overall was great, but my mom ordered a cup of water and it had a tap water taste. She said,"It tastes like fishtank water." The ice tasted the same too because it was made by the same water, even though my pepsi tasted fine with the ice. The water here apparently has the same tap water problem as the one at our house. Either way I would recommend coming here just beware of the water.

We tried several items on the menu and the flavor was great. The price is in par with most local independents and service was great. They delivered even though we came into the restaurant and ordered. The only thing that could have been a bit better is on the tomato bread, the slices could have been thinner and the spaghetti could have had more sauce. I would recommend this to a friend.

Awesome customer service and speedy service. The food was delicious. I got the Fra Diavolo (hot for the spiciness) with shrimp and I loved it. My partner got the baked zitti and he loved it as well. The serving size was big enough for leftovers. At last the complementary bread was fresh out the oven and scrumptious. Definetely recommend and look forward to coming back!(:
