Food/Value: Eggplant $15 this was a great value as the marinara sauce was best Ive had in 15 yrs. And, you got 4 big pcs. The rolls are very good, not dried out. Salad (incld): mixed greens, and great dressing. We shared lobster ravioli @$35 + Tortellini Diablo @$24. We both took food home, so value is great. The lobster ravioli was sooo good, the sauce had depth of flavor and ravioli was filled well. It didnt have that weird fish taste some do. The diablo with chix was also very good, but should have a little spicy tag on menu. the chefs sauce is fabulously made. Wine: I love that they have deals on bottles of wine. Very smart on their part......They can still make more money than a glass, but consumer happy too. Only negatives: Like to get them to switch Styrofoam doggie kit to cardboard (for environment & also reheat reasons). 2nd: I dont support veal meals. There are many meal options without killing baby calves.

On one occasion we waited over an hour for our food and when delivered it was cold and unappealing. The management made excuses and offered nothing. Last night was the icing on the cake. Under cooked scallops on the first attempt. The second plate the scallops were terrible, tasting of ammonia (decaying seafood). The management blew it off but removed the cost. They charged me for my salad and beer?? Won't return. When ya charge those prices food needs to be right! Sad,

I am not a fan of the garlic bread, but that is personal preference. The pasta is great. I also opted out of a salad this time. They come with pepperoni on them and I don't eat pork. I have also had two desserts. They are very rich. Both were good. I did a chocolate cake, which had raspberry or strawberry something in the middle. I didnt know this at the time I purchased. I ate around that. The other item was a smore's cake. It was good as well. I will return.

The inexplicably named Samoritos (fried pizza dough pieces) are delicious! (I'd pay double to have those suckers tossed in FRESH chopped garlic and parsley and a little butter or olive oil). The marinara sauce is very nice. The staff are nice enough. Now for everything else. First thing one will notice is that the owners need to invest in their building. It is very late 70s mobile home vibes. It is grungy. It does not smell good. Age and grime coats the walls, fixtures, furnishings, and carpet. Nothing is updated or even just in good condition. The wait can be unbelievably long - not because there are no tables available, but because they run out of clean dishes. And while you wait forever, you are uncomfortably sitting in a strange, dark little room on a cheap outdoor bench, or you are standing right in the middle of the entry/exit point. The salad (like everywhere across the Midwest) is plain old iceberg lettuce with a scattering of cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, and canned black olives and a bunch of shredded cheese if you don't ask them for no cheese. The dressings are not very inspiring. Or tasty. The food is of the hit or miss variety, I guess. The first time I played it safe with a simple spaghetti and marinara. The pasta was adequately cooked and in a large portion. The marinara, again, was very tasty. Others in my party had similar comments about their choices. The second time I went I decided to try the portobello ravioli. That was not a good choice. I ate 1/2 of 1 ravioli and took the rest to see if my garbage disposal of a husband (he will eat almost anything without complaint) would eat it. He stuffed a whole ravioli in his mouth and that was the end of that. The rest fed the bin. First, it was absolutely drowned in an Alfredo sauce that did not seem to be a fresh, housemade product (which it should always be because it is not difficult at all and would be a huge upgrade). The pasta was slightly undercooked, and the filling was more ricotta than mushroom. For a mushroom lover ordering mushroom ravioli...my expectations were high. Anyway. I'll go try the pizza. Hope it's good. Other reviews mention this place isn't worth takeout, which is why I returned to dine in at all.
