What a nice time. Despite the size of our group, the evening was handled very well. We had two very attentive servers who did a fabulous job keeping up with drinks, food, and all the little things that come with a large family gathering. They were friendly, organized, and never made us feel rushed. My usual order is the Black Fettuccine with Lobster, which I highly recommend, but this time I changed it up and ordered the Combo Lasagna and Chicken Parmesan. It was excellent. As always, the bread with olive oil, parmesan, and fresh cracked pepper was awesome. You have to discipline yourself to stop eating so much warm bread that you don't fill up before your meal comes. For appetizers, we shared three Bruschetta orders, the Bacon-Wrapped Dates, and the Calamari Fritti. Everything was very good and perfect for a larger group to share. The overall experience is what keeps us coming back. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable, they have a great patio during the summer months, the food is always consistent, and the service is typically very good. It's just a reliable place for a nice night out or a special family gathering. I wouldn't rate a chain restaurant with 5-stars, but Biaggi's never lets us down. Solid 4-star experience every time we visit.

One of the staff members actually told me it was his favorite and he was absolutely right. So good! For breakfast sandwiches, you really can't go wrong with the sausage, egg, and cheese on the cheddar bagel (kind of similar to an asiago bagel). Add chive cream cheese and fully commit...MMM! It is a little spendy, but the portions are HUGE. Definitely enough to split with someone or turn into two meals, so it feels more justified once you see the size. Plan extra time to your visit to wait in a small line, they're popular!

I opted for the Caribbean Fried Chicken Sandwich which was the perfect balance of sweet and heat. Sometimes I don't love pineapple on sandwiches because they can be overpowering, but this was a welcome addition. The chicken was hot, juicy, and had a nice crunch. The fries were meaty and crispy. I love their list of unique sauce options! We tried their homemade ranch and sriracha honey lime. Both went great with our fries. I'll definitely be returning because of the quality and there are at least a few more items I want to try!

The place was already busy right when they opened at 11, which is usually a good sign--and it definitely felt like a well-liked local spot. The atmosphere is very classic bar and grill with lots of seating, TVs, and a comfortable, casual feel. I ordered the chicken parmesan and French Onion Soup, and both were really good. The French Onion Soup had a rich, well-developed flavor, and the cheese on top had a slight sharp "funk" to it that actually worked really well. It added a little extra depth instead of just being heavy. The Chicken Parmesan tasted fresh and satisfying, with a good balance of sauce and breading. It had that comforting, homemade Italian-style feel rather than something overly processed. Overall, I would come back. It's not fancy, but it's a solid, reliable stop with good portions and flavors--especially if you're in the area or heading to a movie nearby.

Frankly, I'm shocked that this is my first review of Sunshine Factory because I've been here…read moreliterally dozens of times over the last 20 plus years, and that doesn't even include when they used to be in New Hope. I have always thought very highly of Sunshine Factory; it's packed every night, so do a lot of other people. (If you don't have a reservation and you come in after 4:45 pm on evening, be prepared for a wait.) The food had always been consistently excellent, and the service always had been (and is) fantastic. They must do a great job of finding and training wait staff because the are always friendly and efficient, and fill your drinks when they are even half full. Unfortunately, they have really shortened their menu offerings and I feel quality has slipped. It's true that this location seemed to be more casual than the old location, but the menu was comparable up until late in 2025, when they revamped and shortened the menu considerably. It now seems more bar-food oriented and more like Applebees or Chili's than what it used to be. I feel like Sunshine Factory has switched its business model from high-end diner to middle of the road food, because of a lack of choices and food quality that suffers in comparison to even a year ago. For example, I ordered the special that night, which was meatloaf. The plate came with corn and pieces of red bell pepper, a couple of slabs of meatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy. The taste of the meatloaf was meh because it was overcooked and dry. The corn looked great, but had the taste of canned corn (not even frozen corn). The mashed potatoes and gravy were excellent; I just wish the other items on the plate were as good. (I've noticed this decline over my last few visits and no longer feel this is a one-off situation). I have no idea, but I feel that Sunshine Factory has consciously decided to downgrade its selection (the menu is probably a third of the old offerings) and quality, although service remains high. Although it is consistently crowded with returning guests, they run the risk of other people coming to the same conclusion, which will eventually erode the success they have had for decades. I know that the restaurant business is competitive and difficult, but you can't ride on your prior success long-term. I would love nothing more than to see them return to the variety and quality that they are (or were) known for.

We ordered our takeout order online that morning and scheduled a 4pm pickup. Our order was packaged and ready at 4:25pm. Staff was nice but no apologies for the food being late. Order: Spaghetti and meat sauce Alfredo pasta Bolognese pappardelle Fried Calamari Caesar salad Lemon chicken The star of the show was the lemon chicken. Bright flavor from the lemon sauce and briny capers. Chicken was juicy and had great texture. I definitely would order again. Everything else I would not order again. Very very bland favor. Nothing special or remarkable. If this was made at home during the week and you had to have food on the table in 20 minutes to feed your family then ok.. But if you are paying for this from a restaurant then not ok. I would save your money or go anywhere else. Overall: It will be a very very long time if I ever go back. I know one thing for sure I would only order the lemon chicken.
