It came with a house or Caesar salad and garlic bread. She said the flavors were great and she liked the sausage in the lasagna. My boyfriend and I ordered the Sophia Loren specialty pizza in the New Jersey style. It's a 20 inch pizza full of goodness and pepperoni, ricotta cheese, sausage, basil and a Calabrian hot honey drizzle. So very delicious! Large crowd but we got a table as soon as we arrived and then ordered at the counter. They have expanded the restaurant since we were here almost 3 years ago.

The food is amazing if you don't mind the wait. I like that you can get slices most of the time.read more

We started with some Itialian lemon tea and peach tea that were unbelievably tasteful. We also had to try the black cherry cane soda that was so flavorful. NEW YEARS SALAD was so good and everything in the salad seemed to be of high quality. I wish there was a little more dressing but overall the amount of dressing would prob be great for the normal person. I ordered the FUSILLI AL PESTO and it was so good. I added shrimp to it and it went well with the flavor. The bread they bring out was so soft and delicious. We could have eaten another loaf. We also ordered the pizza and it was so good. The kids ate the whole pizza and said we have to come back here again. I have to say the pizza was not like any other pizza in town. The parking can be a bit tough but absolutely worth trying to find a spot.

I was looking for something with beans and originally ordered the breakfast huarache, mistakenly assuming it was a burrito. I prefer flour tortillas over corn, which started a whole conversation about how the dish is prepared. First, our waiter went to the kitchen to check on modifications, then a second waiter kindly came over to explain the traditional preparation, and finally, the chef himself came out to help! He explained that a huarache is open-faced, not a burrito, but immediately offered a perfect solution: he could custom-make their breakfast burrito using pinto beans as the protein for me instead. When the chef brought it out, it was HUGE. He took the time to explain exactly how he made it and told me to just ask for him or request the modification next time. Not only was the service incredibly attentive, but the burrito was easily the best I've ever had. It's 9 hours later and I am still full from eating just half of it! The food is amazing, the restaurant is clean, and it's clear this team truly cares about their customers. We will definitely be back!

This place was genuinely disgusting Godfather more like fart father I would never come again. I came here for a school trip and I was throwing up on the bus and for the next two days. Godfather more like god-awful experience. I'm never coming back here ever again. Don't even waste your time and if you're here on the school trip, don't eat just go to the Burger King down the road. I feel generally disrespected as an Italian because this restaurant is just so buns. The mac & cheese is actually disgusting. It's just flavor and give me a disgusting feeling my grandfather ate it and now I need a godfather when I put the macaroni in my mouth. It made me feel like I was in a fever dream. I genuinely feel disrespected as an Italian eating at this place. Please just whatever you do never comes to this restaurant for your safety and my feeling of comfort. Their chicken feels like it's made out of grease and their lids for their soda are scoured everywhere and look unhygienic when I got over to the plates they were washed, but very badly. There was cheese, stuck on the bottom of one and lettuce, stuck on it. now that's an actual problem that needs to be recognized right now. Half of the soda machines only dispense water so you never get what you want. and the smell was just insane. my whole table of group mates had their shirts over their nose just trying to get away from the horrid stench. The people at my tables farts were nuclear. when I tried to address the dirty plates, the workers just brushed it off and said OK it's fine. Let me fix it acting like it's not a very bad safety hazard. Also, their bathroom stall does not close and I had to have a friend guard it for me while I use the bathroom. From the moment I stepped in there. The stench literally killed me, but I got resurrected. Also heading to the bathroom as I'm writing this to throw up. If you wanna have a good day, go to the Burger King. Hearing this from a friend in the woman's bathroom, there was no soap at all. And also their locks didn't work on the stalls. Their pizza tastes exactly like frozen pizza like almost identical No hate to this restaurant just saying this so they can do better in the future read more
