| - I came here a few times a few years back and really liked it here. But coming here now, the price went up and the food quality isn't as good. It's now $14.99 for an adult lunch on Monday-Thursday.
We were seated in one of the rooms furthest away from the food and were the only ones in the room. The view was a wall. We sat down, but noticed that water was dripping down from the ceiling on us...so we asked to switch and the server did so immediately and apologized. We were then seated closer to the food area. Here, there were quite a few flies flying around our table.
The place was still nicely decorated with the many different sections like seafood, salads, pastas, ice cream parlour, etc. It is very cute as you feel like you're walking in the streets of Italy. The seating was also nicely decorated having each room different. I sat somewhere like in a cave.
The selection of pastas included pesto, beef and vegetarian lasagna, basil and sun-dried tomato fettuccine, and seafood linguine, etc. There was roasted chicken and lots of calamari and mussels. There was a salad section, a seafood section, a soup section, fruits, desserts, and an ice cream parlour.
The kale salad with the raspberry vinaigrette was good. The cappuccino soft serve was light and refreshing but the mango soft serve was too sweet. It tasted like it was made of mango puree or syrup. The waffles were freshly made, you can taste the egg flavour and it was dense. I also enjoyed the strawberry cheesecake - it wasn't too sweet, but the crust was thick and the filling was cheesy.
I did notice that they no longer have the pork ribs that I would get every time I went. It was a bit disappointing. The minestrone soup was also too sour.
I'd say from the time I was there until I left, about six tables were celebrating birthdays. The service was good, but the food was nothing spectacular. It is a nice touristy place, but not very worth it this time around.
