More like 3.5 stars, but I bumped it up because of the bar and the special chicken meatballs alone.
All but once have I ordered the special meatballs: chicken meatballs stuffed with blue cheese in a buffalo sauce. They're almost never dry, the blue cheese isn't as overpowering as you would expect and the buffalo sauce has the great flavor you know and not taken over by spice. I come back again and again just for this.
The salads are pretty tasty with a good/light veggie to dressing ratio. The sangria is tasty. And the bar here is a nice place to hangout. The bartender (I can't remember her name, please forgive me) is awesome. She is very helpful and personable, but not too in your face or trying to hard. They also pour a proper pint of Guinness...odd since this place is more of an Italian restaurant, but I digress.
I do admit that the service can be a little slow, a little spotty and the meatballs can be dry. But I still have yet to save some room for those tasty looking milkshakes and ice cream sandwiches.
Another plus: the convenient take out counter when you first enter. You can take away a nice scoop of gelato or anything on their menu.
