| - I am torn between a 3.5 and a 4 on this place, but due to the great customer service we always get at lunch, I am bumping it! I come here on nearly a weekly basis with a group of rowdy, pain the arse, picky coworkers, and we always receive A+ attention. Our waitress splits our checks without us even having to remember to ask. Anything we do ask for is delivered with a smile and polite graces by our usual waitress.
This is the best Italian restaurant on this side of town. We have some slim pickings here for work lunch, and this place is a favorite for sure. The food is pretty darn good too. I wouldn't say it is the best Italian food, but it is a step up from the normal corporate restaurant choices.
I have the pizza, and it is pretty good, but what really stands out are the calzones and the pasta dishes. I have had pizza by the slice here (the stuffed meat pizza and deep dish cheese), and while good, they aren't the best in town. So, I would recommend the pasta. I love the baked ziti. it is rich with good mozzarella cheese, and the portion is impossible to finish. In fact, I have almost never left here without left overs.
This place is a gem, considering the lack of good places to eat in general in this part of town. Sure, it's no Montesano's Eateria for pizza, or Chicago Joe's for pasta, but it's pretty damn good in it's own right. I've had nothing but A+ service from the staff here. We always feel right at home (even with the annoying music machine!)
