I’m not sure why this restaurant has received so many positive reviews because it certainly doesn't offer an authentic Italian dining experience. We visited with a larger group, and while the server was acceptable, she wasn't particularly friendly. My husband and I ordered a Sprite that tasted completely like water, but at least they replaced it for us. The pizza was decent, but my husband’s spaghetti carbonara was quite disappointing. There were peas mixed in, and we could barely identify the meat—it definitely wasn’t bacon and we suspected it might have come from a can! Additionally, the soup wasn’t good at all.

We ordered from this restaurant as part of a promotion from the resort we're staying at, but we definitely won't be coming back. The sauces lacked flavor, the salad was not properly chopped, and our order was missing some items, which we had to go pick up even though we had paid for delivery. We've had far better boxed pasta than what we received. The carbonara was awful, with scrambled eggs in the sauce. Overall, it was a disappointing meal and one of the worst attempts at Italian cuisine we've experienced. The only silver lining was that our dog enjoyed the food.
The lower rating which resulted in 4.4 stars I have no doubt it's people with off pallet or off emotionally, that nothing would please them. My Ravioli Montecarlo was spectacularly good I have a stomach of a coyote and most times I get heartburn from super fine dishes but not from this.Italian food is hard to make as simple as it is. I didn't get a chance to take a picture because I was dazzled but ill post a picture of my own pasta made from scratch with Italian tomatoes. It's as good as it looks. So I'm no olive garden usual to rant about good lol
Just terrible if you really know Italian food don't go there. Also serving with such a cheap way. Water in a plastic ! Bread on a dish and vinegar and oil so dirty! They don't take customers seriously. Penne al olio- Soft pasta swimming in oil and tasteless.We returned the dish but they charged us $10 for the small and dull salad that comes free when you order the pasta. So inappropriate! This is not Italian food and the service is bad! stay away. Book a table now
I was pleasantly surprised by how good the dinners were. I wasn't expecting much, but they exceeded my expectations. The decor is quite outdated, and the lighting is very dim—so dim that it was difficult to read the menu, and we had to use our phones. It's unfortunate that they will be closing for good on December 24th, as they will be serving their last meal then.
Had a wonderful dinner celebrating my birthday with my wife. The eggplant parmesan I had was terrific and so was the lasagna my wife had. Our server Lisa was super nice and attentive. The outdoor patio was also great. We finished up dinner with both tiramisu and the spumoni pie and they were delicious. We'll definitely come back if we are ever back in this area.
This place is definitely going into me and my family’s memories. The spicy pasta with tomato sauce and basil might seem basic, but i would pay 70 dollars for that pasta again. And the chocolate mouse is literally the best dessert i’ve ever had in my life i’m not even joking. Family owned best food.
