"Food is delicious.....real home cooked Italian food."
"Delicious meal, I had the seafood over linguine and it was amazing how they could cook the clams, mussels, calamari, and shrimp and have them all come out tender and perfect."
"Besides the giant portions, the food itself is delicious, prepared and cooked perfectly."
"The best calamari around the zuppa is fantastic."
"The food was amazing...calamari with marinara to start, and then the bistecca and the pork chop."
"The food was made fresh and was delightful to the palette."
Cons:
"Overpriced for quality, but they hide that with massive portions."
"So many people rave about this place but in my opinion the food is mediocre at best."
"What this restaurant lacks in quality, it certainly makes up in quantity, as many of the dishes my party ate were drenched in flavorless sauces."
"Salmon Oreganata, was horrible … they must use Steel head Salmon and the potatoes were burnt black … the meal was inedible."
"The crab and ravioli special was terrible. The sauce tasted like canned and the ravioli filling was mush."
"The Tiramisu I ate for dessert looked like a leaky sponge, with hardly any Mascarpone in it's base and the taste and smell of burnt espresso engorging the entire dessert."
"The ravioli's were tough in texture, and masked in an insipid red sauce that had no business calling itself 'marinara sauce.'"
