I was staying at a hotel in Independence, in town a night early for a wedding. Needed something to eat and didn't want suburbia chain food.
Ordered a deluxe mini pizza (not on the menu but they were nice enough to make one for me), fried ravioli, spicy garlic wings, Italian calzone, and side salad.
Pizza was good, not great. Toppings were incredibly fresh and high quality but sauce and crust were just OK.
Calzone was very good. Perfect balance of pastry vs. filling and a good-sized filling.
Fried ravioli was bland and a bit lifeless, even with marinara or ranch.
Wings - spicy garlic sauce was recommended by the staff and the sauce was excellent. Wings themselves were OK.
Salad was meh... just a lot of iceberg, some shredded cheese, 4 olives and 2-3 grape tomatoes. Ma's Italian dressing was OK -- a bit sweet.
Service was friendly but a bit slow -- it was nice of them to make a deluxe in mini-size for me.
Ambience is just a very plain lunch counter type place in a strip mall.
They do pizza by the slice for lunch on weekdays for nearby offices -- might be a good quick option.
All in all a decent non-chain alternative for a quick take-out or eat-in meal.
