In Short – Homesick for your mother's Italian cooking? Grab your appetite and head to this restaurant, where the friendly wait staff will serve up portions of Colosseum-esque proportions, like spaghetti and meatballs loaded with savory tomato sauce and lots of pungent garlic. Dishes center on Southern Italian immigrant fare, and are meant to be shared family-style with a large goblet of wine-to enhance the taste, of course. The ornate décor with walls covered in vintage photos evokes a warm homey feel that welcomes customers to dine among the other families and loyal customers. Buon…

Good atmosphere and great for large groups

by Sara7769

I recently went here for the first time, it was interesting. They walked us through the kitchen before seating us, not sure what I think of that. The resturant had an old house or antique store smell. A little disgusting, but I would have to say the staff made it a very positive experience. The dishes are generally for 2 or more, or 3 or more but there are some that you can order for just one person. I like the family style menu, however, it doesn't work with any group of people. The salads are amazing and the lasanga wasn't as good as olive garden. Overall, good not great food, nice staff, and good atmosphere.

Great Veal Parmesean and Chicken Marsala

by azopinion

Hooked on their Veal Parmesean and Chicken Marsala. You can even do half orders if you have a party of two. I like the 'to go" option . . . call in order, park in pick up parking space and they bring your order out to you. Not the most quiet/romantic place to dine (family atmosphere/pretty loud with screaming kids).

  • Pros: good food, fun waiters, a fun place for a large group of people to share entrees
  • Cons: not a place for a date or romance

Are you kidding???

by ptbrennan

This is just like Olive Garden or Macaroni Grill. Part of what makes Italian food great is the family component and the love of the chef in the cooking. How can this place offer any of that? I recommend this only if you want to stuff as much pasta down your throat and not taste any of it. The portions are huge, but the quality is lacking. Not a good Italian restaurant by any stretch.

  • Pros: Good for lazy, starving college students
  • Cons: You could have great Italian food for the same price
