Hands down this place is popular and busy, but I've just never had that great of an experience at any of the locations. I'm happy that a local business has been so successful and been able to expand throughout the state.
But there is just always something that steers me wrong. This trip the waiter informed us that there was dairy in the marinara sauce....well just scratch the bulk of the menu for me. Sure, Italian meals are heavily based around cheese, but there are very few other options on the menu as an entree.
Everyone else walked away happy...so I'm the odd man out. I was in the mood for pasta and walked away only sampling guacamole, garlic bread, and nibbled on some sweet potatoes fries. Would really like to see some more health conscious (lighter) options besides a 4lb salad.
Pros:
Busy and lively atmosphere
Huge portions (hopefully to take home)
Well priced
Great for families
Cons:
Always a wait
Feel like watching 'The Biggest Loser' afterwards
