Prices are good, staff is very good, but food is hit or miss. Specifically, any dish with meatballs or the mix of whatever they use to make meatballs. I've been there twice, had the meatballs and Italian sausage the first time. The sausage was very good, the meatballs fell below the level of cheap frozen meatballs. The second time I avoided the meatballs and ordered the lasagne, made with Italian sausage, it was very good, except for the meat paste used in the layers. The waiter explained that they used the meatball mix, then added ground Italian sausage. That's not what it said on the menu! I wouldn't have ordered it had I known the meatball mix was in it. The tasty Italian sausage was entirely lost in the meat mix.This restaurant hinges on Italian food, it's been in business for decades, why cheap out on the meatball mix?

I was told that their customers love the meatballs. Sadly, people get used to almost anything. Frogs in a pot are happy to be there and never notice as the water comes to a boil.
