I also got a side of cheese fries, which I devoured in about 30 seconds- also dipped in the chipotle.. Make sure you order a gallon of the chipotle mayonnaise, it took the wrap to another level! The server Samantha was amazing, very welcoming and took fantastic care of us. The restaurant was clean and overall a great experience.

SO dissapointed in the owner's behavior! My son and i ate at Gino's a few times. Never fully impressed with the food but it was our only Italian option in town at the time. The last time was our LAST TIME. My young son wanted lasagna and as I ordered the already overpriced dish, the server asked what kind of sauce he would like. She named them off and my son chose meat sauce. I had already closed my menu and no mention was made of the $3 up charge for the meat sauce. When the check came I was shocked at how expensive my son's meal was. I asked about the additional charge and she said the sauce was extra. As I was paying at the register, I was asked how everything was. I was over the sauce thing but just mentioned that it was a shock to have the $3 added without warning since she asked. Gino had walked up at this time and said, we don't have to mention it, it's in the menu. I was being very pleasant and not acting aggravated at all. Simply mentioned the shock of the upcharge. Gino was very rude for no reason at all. Yes Gino, we know it's in the menu and you don't HAVE to mention it, but you should train your servers to have the courtesy to mention such a charge when I obviously had my menu closed and we didn't even know we had a sauce option. It's just good business! Thank goodness for the new Italian place in town. It's definitely better food and service! read more

I visited this restaurant over Memorial Day weekend and it was awesome!! It's not too fancy but the food is great. I had spaghetti with red clam sauce and it was wonderful. The serving size was huge, so I only ate about half of it. I also tasted the lasagna and it was great too. Salad was really fresh and tasty as well. Desserts looked great, but I opted for the spumoni ice cream...which was awesome. My relatives had the tiramisu and loved it. The owner came out several times to talk to us and even sang several times. Very personable and added to the dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant especially if you like Italian food. read more
