| - I'm surprised this place has four stars, which I think is a little high if you're judging based on taste, but value for your money, this is definitely good value.
I came here a couple nights ago with a very large group (about 14?). We showed up without notice, and they were still able to get a table for us in about half an hour or so. The table ordered off the family style menu where you can only pick two of each course, but can have as much of those courses as you want until you're ready for the next one. We ordered calamari, caesar salad, another type of salad (I think it was the Maggiano's), tomato with mozarella, chicken parmesan, lasagna, spaghetti with marinara sauce, salmon, tiramisu, and cheesecake. The salads were decent - crisp, and tangy. The mozarella that came with the tomato was not very smooth and a little too 'pizza mozarella' tasting for me. The spaghetti with marinara sauce was my personal favorite, along with some of the other people at the table. It was light, and the spaghetti was cooked to just the right tenderness. The lasagna was very salty and the meat chunky in an unpleasant, crumbly way. It wasn't chewy, cheesy, and meshing with the lasagna layers.
The cheesecake was really delicious, came with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. Mm!
The service was a little slow and sometimes unmindful of us, but it was fairly busy in the restaurant, so I can understand.
I'd come here for a decent large group setting with fairly cheap eats, but I wouldn't come here for a date or a small intimate group meal.
