    From the outside, it looks pretty normal. When you walk in, the smell of the food puts your senses…read morein overdrive. Sure, the interior is a little drab and outdated, but clean and maintained. A glance at the menu gives you hope, as there is quite a selection of tasty dishes, described to the T, leaving nothing to the imagination. I ordered the Shrimp Scampi over linguini, my wife, the Linguini with Clam Sauce, and my oldest daughter, the Chicken Marsala. Our salads came out first. Nicely put together greens and veggies, with the best tasting balsamic vinagrette ive ever tasted. Next came our appetizer, the Potato Skins. Very well prepared, steaming hot, fresh and delicious. Smothering in cheese and bacon pieces. Finally, out came our main courses. Beautifully prepared, steaming hot, freshly prepared FROM SCRATCH, and a perfect portion. As i spun my fork into the first taste, my excitement was overwhelming. I've been in the south for 4 years, and have had nothing but disappointment from just about every "italian" restaurant ive been to. Until now. I put the fork in my mouth, my eyes opened widely, my taste buds jumped, and the hair on the back of my neck stood straight up. Had i just tasted that right? My God, that was the best italian dish ive had in a LONG time. I loaded my fork again, and again, in relief. After that, i had to try a mouthful of my wife and daughters meals, all exactly as well prepared. That Shrimp Scampi was the best ive tasted, ever. By far. Even being from the italian epicenter of the northeast (New Haven, CT- Wooster Street) I was shockingly impressed. I have found my new italian restaurant of choice. Italian Garden, you are my new best friends. I cannot wait to try the pizza, and all the other delectible dishes advertized on your vast menu. And the prices? The Shrimp Scampi was $12.99. You'd pay more than that at Olive Garden, and well...its Olive Garden.

    The worst take out experience I've ever had at a restaurant. I ordered online from their website…read moreand it took 1 hour and 40 minutes to finally get my food. They lied and made all kinds of excuses about it. They wouldn't even give me a refund so I could go somewhere else. Then they were out of cheesecake so I asked for tiramisu instead and was told they were out of ALL desserts even though they had a big white board with their desserts. When I finally got my food the guy refused to give it to until I took a Picture of the order! I refused and snatched my pizza box from him. THEN THEN they offered to comp my shrimp salad which they took off the bill but also didn't give it to me! Absolutely terrible! I used to go there twice a month, never again. Unbelievable!!
