In a mixed bag of experiences, this Italian restaurant reveals itself as a hit-or-miss destination. While some diners rave about generous portions and delicious desserts, others lament poor food quality and lackluster service. Patrons enjoy hearty dishes like the meat lovers pizza and pasta, which provide value despite slightly elevated prices typical of tourist spots. However, multiple complaints highlight undercooked pizzas, watery spaghetti, and unresponsive staff, overshadowing the overall dining experience. Those seeking a casual meal may be satisfied, especially with dessert options, yet others may wish to explore alternatives for authentic Italian fare.
This is likely the worst pizza we have ever eaten. Although it appeared appetizing, we called ahead and arrived early, only to find it sitting on a table near the counter. The crust was severely undercooked, almost like raw dough. We were very disappointed with our first visit. Spending $28 plus a $10 tip felt like throwing it in the dumpster.
Completely amazing! I thoroughly went over my meal which was a rolled beef baked meat sauce contraption. And got hollow pasts and chicken. Its the 3rd down on the menu.......worst of all I ordered a St Francis old zin and it was so good I ordered another. Only this time u got the house...........thats really bad! BTW I'm from Napa country so I kinda know when I'm getting smoke and mirrors. 2 stars because I know they can do better and since I'm local I will try again. For sure, I'll be so much more clear next time and taking notes then someone can answer for this. Anyways. Another restaurant banking on Texas money and poor product!
Unfortunately, the negatives of our experience overshadowed the positives. We were told there would be a 20-25 minute wait, but ended up waiting over an hour without any apologies for the delay. When I inquired about the wait after 45 minutes, I was made to feel like a bother. My spaghetti with meatballs had too much watery pasta, a thin layer of sauce, and only two small meatballs. I have had better spaghetti and meatballs at Olive Garden for a lower price. Overall, the food was just average and it has been consistently so over the years. While I prefer to support local businesses and refrain from negative reviews, this restaurant is simply not the right fit for us.
Probably the worst pizza we have ever had. It looked good, however after calling in, still showing up early, it was sitting on a table by the counter. The crust was significantly undercooked, just above raw dough....very dissapointed for our firstexperience. $28 a $10 tip in the dumpster
Family-type casual Italian place with the staples, pizza, and some offbeat creations on the menu. Not upscale or fancy. Everything we had was good, and especially the desserts. Service was great. It's a bit pricey, but that's an inevitability ina tourist place.
