| Comments: | Wheelchair accessibility issues galore. Food aspired to mediocrity. Hostess forgot us. Waiting area hostess ignored us. Our waitress was good but food was bad. Oil slick on coffee. Very good bread, though. Shrimp/spinache dish tasty but side pasta mushy. Dessert
marginal. Get-em-in, get-em-out attitude. |

| Comments: | I'm surprised to see negative reviews of this place. I eat out a lot and have been to most Italian restaurants in the area and this is my absolute favorite, food-wise. I crave at least one of my favorite menu items on almost a weekly basis. It blows away the Olive Garden and Zio's and is much more affordable than Garazzo's. |

| Comments: | One of our family standards, even the kids enjoy it. We always order pasta dishes and have never had a bad one. My fave is the canelloni. The bread is excellent. Ask for a side of asiago cheese sauce to dip your bread in. Addicting! |
