    El sabor y tamaño de porciones tradicional de la franquicia, es decir porciones realmente grandes y un sabor de comida Italaliana qué mantiene cierta esencia de la original con algunas adecuaciones para el gusto americano, muy buen servicio y atencion.

    Came here around lunch on a Saturday during a conference. Portions are giant. Great for groups. Chicken parm and the Quattro Fromagio (4 types of cheese ravioli) were decent. It’s not blow your mind Italian, but it’s very good for groups at the price point.

    We came here for our first time since we've been waiting to try for a while and we are very disappointed! We came in as a party of 10 and One of the girls looked at us as if we committed a crime asking if we had a reservation. I replied sorry no we don't did we have to have one she said yes. I said oh sorry I didn't know it's out first time here. As she was still staring at us like we were crazy she said let me ask my severs if they can. As she said that the other girl said yes we can it will be a 20 min wait. This girl looks at the other girls annoyed and says no, it will be a very long wait and I don't think we can. Wow! We have never been kicked out of a restaurant in such a way! So sad! I guess we will NEVER GET THE CHANCE TO TRY THIS PLACE, by the way we were turned away! Disgusting service!
