Universal on Lygon Street is a popular spot for Italian food, offering generous portions at reasonable prices. While some reviewers found their expectations too high, others raved about the massive portion sizes and delicious dishes. The signature Chicken Parmigiana was a standout, with moist and juicy chicken. Despite occasionally long wait times, the service was friendly and professional.
