We live 4 minutes from the restaurant and ate or attempted to eat as soon as we got home. So the food didn't even have a chance to get cold.

We asked for some bread because I’m pregnant and literally gave us some Walmart buns that were toasted. Tasted like cardboard. Even this took 15 mins. 6 adults on our table and not a single one of us had a good meal. Pasta marinara was tasteless and watery with pasta undercooked health hazard especially when you’re pregnant. Stuffed mushroom were gross! You only get one mushroom for $9!!!! All of us left our food uneaten aside from a few bites. When we approached the manager to let her know of our experience she was extremely rude and nonchalant about the entire thing showing that this happens frequently. She kept repeating how her other reviews prove that they have good food (which you can see her reply to all one star posts with the same comment over and over and she will do the same with this) Terrible place. Save yourself money and time and just eat at a fast food chain. As a person who travels to Europe annually, this food is not even close to Italian! More like microwavable frozen food from Walmart!

The service was good. They are friendly. The food was good but skimpy servings considering the price. read more The service was good. They are friendly. The food was good but skimpy servings considering the price.

That part I didn 't mind. I understand being short staffed. The true disappointment was in the food. The seafood fish options had an overwhelming fish smell. We could smell dishes from other tables. Our dishes were very bland in flavor. The pesto had very little flavor and the chicken was dry and unseasoned. The Bolognese.... I don 't know what to say. I was very disappointed with all of it. We had high hopes walking in due to other reviews but that was not the case.
