    Great meal the only thing I will add is the Alfredo sauce was too salty this time. Hence 4 stars

    2nd time in Love it. I get tired of making spaghetti all the time. Found a place that make good spaghetti at a good price Apparently family owned. Friendly people. Good sense of humor. Even thru in a meatball for our dog. We have tried the spaghetti and meatballs, garlic bread, meatball sandwich, Italian sausage sandwich, and the Mac and cheese. All Very good. Thank you
