I have eaten here once. I have no complaints about the place. The food was good and service was prompt. I tend to judge an Italian place on their eggplant and how al dente the cook their noodles. The noodles were pretty good. I like my noodles a little firmer than most people, and they got it pretty close (much better than Olive Garden, which makes them mushy). Their eggplant was pretty tender, but not mushy. Again, I usually like it a little firmer than they made it, but the taste was still good. If the restaurant reads these reviews, I would suggest to them to give people the option on how firm or soft they want their noodles. I recommend this place over Olive Garden, and the prices are good for a chain restaurant, but if you want fancy Italian, probably not the place to look for it.
