The atmosphere is really nice and cozy, which made it a great place for a birthday dinner. We ordered the Tour of Italy, Shrimp & Sausage Arrabbiata, Fried Calamari, and three cocktails: Hurricane, Blue Hawaiian, and Fruit Punch The calamari portion was HUGE -- honestly, it could easily be a full meal on its own. Everything was fresh, crispy, and delicious. I also have absolutely nothing negative to say about the Tour of Italy. Every single dish on the plate was fantastic! The Shrimp & Sausage Arrabbiata was the only thing my husband wasn't a huge fan of because it was a little too spicy for him. And the Blue Hawaiian was just perfect! Now we actually want to come back with friends and have it again. Service was just outstanding here! We also got a wonderful piece of cake as a birthday gift for my husband. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this place for a nice dinner!

The service was very good, as we were a table of 15 and they did an excellent job of getting our orders and then our food out to us. The one thing I did notice was that they continued to bring additional bread out to us, but weren't removing any empty plates. Makes for an extremely crowded table! VERY IMPORTANT: the side door in the back room was locked tight, so in case of fire, we'd have been SOL.

No communication from the wait staff about the wait, no apologies; nothing. We had to go up twice to the counter to check on our order. They acted nonplussed, as if this was how things are supposed to be run and that we were the crazy ones. No one came to check on us after we got our drinks. Clearly, they were disorganized. When we finally got our pizza, and cut it ourselves, the pizza flopped down, causing all the toppings to slide off. That's not how a pizza is supposed to act if it's fully cooked.

I don't know what cheese they use but they were one of the top ranked cheese curds I have ever had (I've had a lot of cheese curds). The Ravioli looked homemade, which is good. The red sauce for them was the best I've had! I usually never use the red sauce but I actually chose it over ranch - what? Yeah. The Cajun Pasta was great with just the right spice. The Seafood Cannelloni was very good, very hot (they are not kidding) and the sauce was very thick. It was almost like gravy consistently. It tasted great but I am not 100% sure I am on board since I usually like it a little thinner. All in all the seasoning on everything was great, the staff is super nice with a family owned vibe (that's good) and cool decor to reminisce. I plan on coming back and bringing my family. It's definitely worth checking out and trying more dishes.
