- ReviewWe went in for lunch there were 8 of us. It was a Tuesday and they were fairly busy. The server was so great. She came to our table promptly she explained the menu to us since they have one dinner menu and a lunch menu now. She refilled our drinks quickly being that we had a bunch of big iced tea drinkers on our table. She gave us free garlic bread w/cheese. The food came out on a timely matter. She gave us a little gelato cone at the end of our meal. The server was very friendly and attentive. The food tasted really good. I guess I'm trying to say the service was EXCELLENT(local girl). The food was great. My new lunch spot.

- Orderwe ordered salads, several pizzas, spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, and had ice cream for dessert
- ReviewWe had my daughter's birthday party (11) there and had 14 guests. We were in the Pope's Room which has one big round table with a lazy susan in the middle, which made conversation and food passing very convenient. It was a little tight, so for adults I wouldn't suggest more than 10. As mentioned in the other reviews, service, plates, and silverware was not as available as they should have been. The lasagna was burned, but the kids had fun, and everyone enjoyed it. It was fairly loud, so it's not the place for a quiet dinner for two, but was perfect for us.
- Good for groups

- OrderAppetizers, entrees, desserts
- ReviewI've been here numerous times with large groups of people. It's ideal for large groups of good friends, especially if you are comfortable sharing food. Every time we order a bunch of family size platters and pass them around. There is a decent amount fo choose from. A few dishes have a little too much garlic, but for the most part thye are quite tasty!

- ReviewWe had a huge party here (22 people) and the experience was absolutely horrible. It was a dinner that was planned out months in advance and they had the final head count 3 days in advance. They told us we were getting a specific room and then let the general public into it and had to reseat us elsewhere. We ended up having to settle for the room with two other large parties. They lined our tables up to look like one of those old style church dinners with two rows of seats staring at each other, so no could really socialize with anyone other than the 4 people around and in front of you. They took over an hour to get our first course out to us and when it was time for the second course, they put the food down first and then offered to take away our salad plates. Then we had to wait for the new plates to come out because they "forgot" to bring those out. Apparently, silverware was scarce that night because they ran out of forks before they even brought out our first course, so some people had to wait to eat. They couldn't find the tabs for the separate drinks that were ordered and they burned the pasta course so badly that the kitchen manager had to come out and ask me if I wouldn't mind choosing something else for that course--she wasn't too bad since she at least told us what had happened and even brought out two versions of the replacement pasta to make up for it. The waitstaff was just terrible. One girl must have been PMSing real bad because all she could say to us was "I SAID I'D GET YOUR FORKS/DRINKS/PLATES/ETC!" after we waited around for things to show up and asked about plates, silverware, etc. because it was taking so long.
All in all it was not a good experience and if I had to base my opinion on the service of that one night, I would have to say that I would not plan on going there again on my own accord.
