Laney ShafferMay 4, 2012They had a cool atmosphere and I had a pasta dish with 3 of their specialty sauces. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read moreUpvoteDownvote- ColleenNovember 25, 2012Don't bother with the kids noodles with butter and parmesan. They make you use the parmesan set on the table!UpvoteDownvote
They have gluten free pizza crust and pasta! I would suggest coming for eitherUpvoteDownvote
Stefan D.March 14, 2016The other reviews talking about too much garlic don't lie! The garlic bread you get to an entree literally only tastes like garlic. No butter, no bread. Only garlic. Service is ok but a little slow.UpvoteDownvote
