I am sorry but I am reading some of the reviews on this place and I gotta tell you, are you people Nuts! OK I can totally understand giving 1 star because you walked in and got ignored, however did you walk up and ask for a table. Seems a little weird that three people would just have a staring contest with you. It is possible, but not really probable. Secondly, people griping about the PRICE.... ARE YOU SMOKING DOPE.... The basic meals here are between 10 and 15 bucks and INCLUDE DRINKS.
I read about people bitching about how bland it is.... Of course it's bland its a Family Eatery. They have to keep the basic food bland to suit all clientele. You can certainly request a little more this or that. NO this is not going to be the place to have a formal dinner with your grandmother from Italy. Yes, you will be put out that your dinner was not comparable to Tomaso's which is a 15-25 dollar a plate spaghetti shop not INCLUDING DRINKS. The food is on par with Olive Garden though the menu is not as deep.
You go to this place when its nice to have a night out, but you don't want to spend 60 bucks on a dinner for two. You go to this place when your a high school kid that wants to take his date out and go to a movie or shopping over at the fashion square. You go to this place when you want a nice value dinner that includes a great ambiance, a nice staff, and a fun location for activities afterward.
