"The food was...Fair, not horrible but not as good as years past. I was expecting fresh made pasta instead i get a, it reminded me of Barilla. I order the chicken parmingiana (sp?) It was an okay-minus. The sauce was thick and bland, the mozzarella tasted like super market pre-packaged a bit salty. I found it odd that the chicken was served on a separate plate than the pasta which incidentally , the pasta was a bit small, portion-wise. My wife had the lobster ravioli and she didn't care for it. The Giovanni calamari was a bit heavy and slightly over cooked. The bread was good, warm, tasty. Olive oil could've used some rosemary. Overall the service was fair a bit detached or semi unattentive. My drink(water) wasn't refilled for a little while, almost near the end of our meal. If I had to describe the food...it tasted like job and not a creation or something that someone would have been proud to serve....its like a, "yeah, I did it"meh versus, "Yes! I made that for you!" Not a bad place just seemed like a tired little restaurant that locals go to because it's comfortable and convenient, not because "they have the best...x" It may be a while before we go back again. It'll be like a, we haven't gone here in a while...let's see if its better kind of night."

"Excellent classic Italian!!! Good sized portions. Waitress was excellent!! Atmosphere rated a 4 only because we would have like a little more light. Otherwise, good! I would go again!"

"Two hours in the restaurant and I was so disappointed in the food. The stuffed mushrooms with a cheese sauce was delicious but the Prawn over gnocchi was not very good. Overcooked prawn and plain gnocchi with a watery tomato sauce really disappointed. The service was really not great, everything took a really long time to get to the table. They were busy but two hours was just to long to wait."

"There was only 4 tables and the waitress and kitchen were slow. Had to listen to the cook pound meat our entire time here. Staff took a table to keep their silverware as they didn’t have extras for their dessert- party tonight. The rose pizza was good and flavorful. The crust was too crispy for my liking. The chicken sausage Anthony was bland."
