I'd give this spot a 4 for the lunch buffet. There's nothing fancy but it's good food at a very reasonable price. Im not from the area so I depended on yelp to find a nice spot in an unknown area.
*food: overall pretty good. Nothing spectacular but it satisfied my craving for Italian. The buffet had everything from a salad, pasta with meat, pasta without meat, white sauce, red sauce, desserts, etc. and everything I had was flavorful. But again, nothing exactly noteworthy.
*price: amazing. With a cup of tea, buffet & including a 20% tip it was $11-12. Which is why it deserves 4 stars for the lunch buffet.
I don't think this place is pretending to be something it's not - just good Italian food at a very reasonable price.
