What May Z doesn't like about ITALIAN COLORS RESTAURANT:

Italian Colors restaurant received mixed reviews from patrons, with some describing the food as overly sweet and oily, comparable to a slightly better version of Olive Garden. Others had negative experiences, with complaints about overcharging, skimpy portions, and slow service. However, positive reviews highlighted the excellent service, delicious eggplant parm, and a variety of tasty dishes that kept customers returning. Some diners praised the friendly staff, efficient service, and delightful atmosphere. Although it had its ups and downs, Italian Colors seemed to please some guests with its authentic Italian flavors and welcoming ambiance, leaving them eager to return for more.
