While most of my family had been to the location on Central, this was my first visit to OSF. We were all up for going even though it was no one's first choice. Everyone wanted to go to California Pizza Kitchen or Buffalo Wild Wings. I wanted to come here because I had never been here before.
Well the service was top-notch just like Lisa K. stated previously. This location was brand new and the staff seemed well trained and knowledgeable about the menu. Everyone was extremely friendly, personable and outgoing. The service made for a great experience.
The prices are very reasonable considering the entrees come with tea or coffee (not soft drinks) and spumoni included.
We ordered fried ravioli and cheese bread as appetizers. They both were delicious.
My dad and I each ordered the Spaghetti Vesuvius which boasts a spicy and hearty combination or chicken, sausage and meatballs.
The waiter even warned us that was very spicy. Not only was it not spicy, it didn't even have a slight kick to it. The meat was used very sparingly in the sauce and the sauce was bland. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their meal. I tried my nieces spaghetti and meatballs. It was good. Not great, not overly flavorful but it tasted fresh, not fresh out of a jar.
Would I come back here? Yeah probably. It has a great atmosphere and is good for groups like the one I was in.
I think it would be worth giving another chance to.
