📍 Locations: Two branches in Winnipeg 1 St. James Street 2365 McGillivray Blvd ✨ Highlights Unlimited Breadsticks: Freshly baked garlic bread + dipping sauce (the only universally praised item!)

Focus on the bread and soup - treat it more like an 'upscale cafeteria'." #WinnipegFoodRadar #BudgetItalian #HonestReview #RestaurantChecklist #ChainRestaurantGuide
