"The food was terrible for the expensive price veal cutlet parm was flat as a pancake and could not cut it, the sauce tasted like it came out of can with no flavor. Several of us had either chicken or veal parm with the same issue. The price of the food was a little expensive. The only good thing was the salad, bread and garlic bread that was included. The happy hour prior to dinner was very good. Unsatisfied customer."

"Was quietly pleased with this cheesy named locale in a mall of all places. But the sangria was tasty and the scallopini was so thin it melted in my mouth. Fries had no salt, but I loved the steamed veg option for the meals at lunch.The salad was like olive garden but the bread was great and enough for me to take home. I suggest you stop in and try at lunch and take your time to relax, because that sangria is worth it - even though there is no happy hour or lunch pricing for drinks, there are for food. MANGIA"

"The seasonal spinach salad was a really small portion and a terrible presentation and meh. it was 9 plus 8 for chicken so I did expect a dinner salad. I've never ordered an entree salad and didn't have enough greens. It was served on a small side dish bowl and the chicken was hanging off the plate. It could have used some roasted seasonal vegetables like butternut or sweet potato. The chicken was warm and freshly grilled though and dressing was really good.."

"Overall the visit was average. The French onion soup was bland and the salad didn’t have any romaine. My penne with meatballs was ok. I asked for chocolate and vanilla ice cream for dessert and it was a very small portion. The dinner portions were huge so I was surprised. I liked the garlic bread and the bread that they brought to the table. We would return here to try other meals. Service again was a little slow but average."
