"The Rosa sauce is so good. You will certainly have leftovers, no matter how big your appetite may be. The staff is just as good as the food too!"

"Very unique place. Cool to visit one time. We went during the holidays so decorated adorable. Not pricey at all just surprised at the reversed way the meal came. I'm Italian and cook all the time. Was craving chicken franchise. Very surprised at what I got. I wanted classic style and in the pic is what I got. Tasted ok. Not bad but different. Sauce on the side as well. 3 stars. Nothing to rave about."

"Public Service Announcement: Be warned, check the age limit before driving there. After driving 45 minutes in traffic, all dressed in our best Christmas attire, we were denied at the door due to having a 10 year old with us to eat at the restaurant. Apparently, 12 is the appropriate age. As you can imagine, we were pulled in by all of the Christmas advertising and this is the farthest from the Christmas spirit. They are grinches!!"

"My boyfriend and I came in on a Sunday for brunch and as soon as we came we were greeted, seated and had our drinks in less than 5 minutes. We stay close by and always pass by this place and decided to walk on over and try it out.. and it sure did surprise us. The food was delicious, the drinks were perfect and the service was outstanding."

"I was recommended this place by friends and it was a worthwhile visit. We were able to order our meal pretty easily, the decision was difficult to make as there are so many appetizing entrees but we managed to narrow down our choices and ordered the Beef Ravioli and Veal San Pietro. All entrees come with a soup and salad and garlic bread. The soup for the day was a vegetable soup and was so delicious, I almost picked up the bowl and drank it. I didn't ask what the salad was but it came with ranch and an in house sauce which were both delicious with the salad. I'd say the garlic bread has a little too much of whatever makes plain bread turn into garlic bread but that didn't stop me from eating more than 3 pieces of it, dipping it in my entree's sauce and whatnot. The entrees were great. I wouldn't have been able to eat them on my own entirely. The ravioli was everything I could have wanted and more. The veal San Pietro didn't hit for me as it did for others (3 people ordered it at our table) and that's fine. I'd still recommend trying it because everyone else said it was pretty good. The food filled us up and left us satisfied. I'd come back and try more when I can. As for customer service, overall pretty decent. I didn't notice anything out of place about it. The food arrived in a timely manner and they checked on us enough. One of the employees came over and doused our food in cheese and followed it with some innuendos which was fine since we're all adults. It added to the vibe."
