Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The food there is amazing. Everything tastes exquisite, from their variety of pizzas to their fresh tasting seafood."

Cons:

  • "CALAMARY AL FORNO nothing different just regular fried calamari with 3 sausage and balsamic reduction on top."

  • "I wouldn't order the mozzarella sticks again (they weren't bad, I just don't think it is great value)."
  • "The only itty bitty thing wrong with the food was we tried this sweet type vinegrette they put on the fried calamari that killed it from being a 100 % good."

  • "The entree was very good except the chicken was dry as if it was prepared and reheated."
