I really only go here because my in-laws enjoy chain restaurants so much. Even though the exterior has been recently redone, I think the interior missed the memo. It's dingy, dark, and tacky. The food doesn't really bring anything new to the "Hey we're an Italian place that totally doesn't use a microwave for 90% of our cooking," scene. The portion sizes are huge, but with the majority of the actual entrees being pasta, it's hard to see why the prices are $14+ per plate. Both times we've been, (with a large party, admittedly) it's taken a super long time for us to get our checks. Really, look elsewhere for lunch or dinner.
