Several reviewers have expressed disappointment in this long-time local favorite, citing issues such as limited parking, lack of ambiance, expensive early bird specials, oversized appetizers, difficult-to-cut pizzas, high prices for drinks and desserts, swift yet impersonal service, and inconsistent food quality. However, some customers have praised the delicious food, generous portions, friendly staff, and adherence to social distancing guidelines. While it may not be perfect, this Italian restaurant still has its loyal fans who appreciate the menu, service, and overall dining experience.
