    I need to order this sandwich as a build your own since it's not on their menu anymore
    Jade M.

    Yum... I moved here from the Bay Area a few months ago and I have been looking for places to eat at besides all the chain restaurants. I hit up yelp to help, I was craving pasta, some real pasta not the Pizza Hut pasta. Well I came across this place on yelp and they had a picture of a sandwich from 8 years ago that look fire.. which they no longer make. Well I ended up ordering the baked pesto chicken pasta... really good and the toast was toasted perfectly. I am excited to come back and try a sausage dish since I have experience with Molinari sausage, let's see how they compare.

    Over half thru the French Dip

    Nice place, Great Food, Fast Service, Good ambience with subtle music, decor and really clean!! The lasagne is HUGE and delicious. My husband really enjoyed his French Dip -piled high with tender, very thinly sliced roast beef with a fresh side salad. Highly Recommended!!

    This is  Great portions.. Very tasty. I highly recommend.. This was the chicken alfredo with mushrooms.

    Amazing Delicious.. Food is with great portions. I highly recommend. I had Chicken Alfredo with mushrooms. I have to go back to try everything now. Very friendly staff

    Grilled Chicken Asian Salad
    Carolyn R.

    Ordered a Grilled Chicken Asian Salad To Go. Service was fast and friendly. Salad was simple, but great. Just like I would've made it at home. The salad was fresh, but I'm pretty sure it's just bagged salad, nothing wrong with that really. The sliced grilled chicken breast was delicious! Not a rubbery piece in it, moist and tasty all the way through. There were sliced almonds and those crunchy oriental noodles. Since I got it ToGo I asked for dressing on the side and I was pleased they gave me enough. I will definitely be back to try their lasagna, I was just craving a salad today. As a side note, I do think there's been a change in ownership recently, so keep that in mind when you read past reviews.

    Philly cheesesteak!!
    Rachelle S.

    Went here for lunch based off other reviews. This place was fantastic!!! The food was high quality and made to order. The owner brought us samples of pesto and alfredo sauce to taste while waiting for our sandwiches. Great flavors all around!! Will come back to try their pasta!!!!! I ordered the Philly cheesesteak and my friend ordered The Old World sandwich which was a new ale on a BLT. It had bacon, spinach, sun dried tomatoes and pesto on focaccia bread! Absolutely delicious!!!

    Cheeese!! Baked fusilli (gluten-free) with tomato-meat sauce and mozzarella!

After being sat, we received water and bread fairly quickly, but service went downhill from there. It took another 5-10 minutes for our server to check in, and when she did, we asked for a little more time. She returned about 5 minutes later and took our order, which included an appetizer and salads. From that point on, the wait times became excessive. Our appetizer didn't arrive for at least 30 minutes, and the salads took even longer. By the time we finally received them, we had already been there for about an hour. To make matters worse, a table seated after us received their food well before we did, finished their meals, and even ordered dessert while we were still waiting. At that point, we decided to just have our food boxed up to go. When we got home, the food itself was also disappointing. My lasagna was dry--which shouldn't be the case--and my boyfriend's dish was overly salty. Overall, the service and food quality did not meet expectations, especially for a special occasion. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.

I ordered the Seafood Alfredo and they did not skimp on the seafood which was a pleasant surprise because I find that happens at time at restaurants I've visited in the past. I haven't tried all the entrees but I really enjoy this one. My friend had the eggplant parmigiana and said it was superb and enjoyed it as well. She also had a drink, the sangria, a recommendation from the waitress, which my friend gave two thumbs up! The staff is very friendly and helpful.

My husband fell in love with their meat sauce I ordered when we were there in March for a birthday dinner so I thought I'd order him take out dinner tonight as a nice treat since he was working in the area. I called just after 5 pm when they open, but no answer. I get that they are busy so gave it a few minutes and tried again. This time the young gal who answered just picked up and said "hold!" (no greeting, very abrupt & almost angry sounding) and finally came back 10 minutes later (5:18pm, no niceties like "thanks for holding"). I know the menu well so quickly gave her the order with the salad dressing preference. She abruptly told me salad is an extra charge on to go orders (ok, fine) and that the food wouldn't be ready until at least 5:50pm, almost as if she was trying to bait me into canceling the order. I've never been made to feel like such a bother to an establishment that I'm about to give $50 to for a couple take out containers of spaghetti & meatballs. I grew up in the family restaurant business and my parents taught me better customer service skills by the time I was 10. Funny how one bad employee, clearly with a gnarly chip on her shoulder, can make the whole establishment look bad. I'm glad it was my husband who picked up the food because if I had gotten any more attitude, I would've had to use some of my "big girl" words on her.

Caesar Salad - lots of lettuce, delicious dressing although very little of it, so the salad was very dry. Not one flake of Parmesan on the salad or offered on the side. Very disappointing. Looking at the pictures other patrons posted of their salads, mine was definitely NOT like theirs! Hardly any dressing and no cheese on mine! I also had ordered the agnolotti. The little raviolis were very strange. Some were only partially cooked, many had edges that were hard and inedible. $34 for this? Husband ordered the pomodoro. The pasta had been boiled to death - it was so mushy it was inedible. We both tossed out our entrees after a few bites. We were extremely disappointed, needless to say. This was my after-surgery treat and it was terrible. Out of curiosity, I perused some of the reviews, and the bad ones scared me. The owner's responses were condescending. Two parties stated in their (separate) reviews that they got food poisoning. He went so far as to claim these poor people DID NOT get food poisoning from his restaurant because food poisoning "takes 12 hours or more to set in". That is QUITE UNTRUE! Now we didn't get food poisoning, but our experience along with the owner's outright false statement is enough for us. We shan't be returning. I am also posting the Cleveland Clinic's AND the CDC's SCIENTIFIC FACTS about the time period within which food poisoning can take effect.
