EXCELLENT CURB APPEAL! Took one step onto the curb and immediately performed a graceful Olympic-level tumble. 10/10 would roll again. Sidewalk was firm, reliable, and really committed to the bit. Recovery was swift, audience was impressed, and the breadsticks weren’t even needed to soften the fall. Highly...Read More

We ordered. Prices were a little steep, but very good and portions were large. Got the Alfredo and Ziti. UNFORTUNATELY the bread sticks did not come with the dinner, so we had to purchase separately.

Portions are crazy small on a Three Meat Manicotti that had zero meat in it by the way and no the sauce didn't either and the breadsticks were a big disappointment. Not fresh, I am hoping my next
