The kids ordered spaghetti, my wife chose a flatbread pizza, and I went with the chicken parmigiana dinner. The salad was served quickly, and our main dishes arrived in about eight minutes. The spaghetti was cooked just right, my wife finished her entire pizza, and my chicken parmigiana was excellent. The sauce was nothing extraordinary, probably similar to Prego, but I kept in mind that it was a diner, not Mamma's Trattoria. The service was friendly, but we did wait a few minutes for coffee refills as the servers were preoccupied with their phones. Overall, we had a good experience; the chicken was perfectly breaded and cooked!
