This place is great!! The food is amazing and I don't know why, but there is never a crowd, even at peak eating times. The spicy chicken pasta is the best. Hubby has tried one other thing on the menu, but came back to the...Read More

Their Gluten free pasta is great. I had fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken. The penne pasta they used was tasty, not gritty or falling apart like most gluten free pastas. The sauce was delicious! …

My wife and I have eaten here several times. The food is always great. The atmosphere is good. They even changed the channel on the TV so I could see the speedway classic baseball game. Highly recommend.

Great food and exceptional service as well. We've never had a dish that wasn't enjoyed by both of us. The pricing is more than fair, and we have enough to take home and enjoy again! …

I absolutely love the seafood ravioli plus the bread it comes with. For $20, I do wish it came with 6-8 raviolis instead of only 4 though. It’s more of a tasty appetizer than dinner but it’s cooked to perfection.
