I ordered a chicken Parmesan sandwich, which, everywhere else I've been, is served on a sub, hero, hoagie, or grinder. Upon arriving, I discovered they only accept cash, which is noted at the bottom of their website. So that was an extra $5 in fees right off the bat. While the staff was very friendly, I couldn’t help but feel my bag was a bit light when I left. Once back at my RV, I opened the small to-go tray only to find a chicken Parmesan on a hamburger bun! I thought, “Okay, this better be good.” Unfortunately, it was far from it. The sandwich consisted of a frozen chicken patty on a standard bun, and the sauce tasted like dirty water. All that for $12? I could have gotten a much better chicken sandwich at any fast-food restaurant for a third of the price. What a complete letdown! If they can’t even manage to put together a simple sandwich, I can’t imagine how their entrees would fare.

We decided to give this place a try for the first time, but it was disappointing. The bread was stale, the salad was just lettuce with an excessive amount of cheese, and the sauce was both watery and tasteless. The ravioli had a rubbery texture, and the spaghetti and meatball tasted like they came straight from a can. The waitress was quite loud and pushy, which made for an unwelcoming atmosphere. We won't be returning to see if they improve.

Their gnocchi is the benchmark for what great gnocchi should be, and the sauce is absolutely irresistible. It's one of our family's favorite restaurants, and it always will be.
