OK, guys. I am ashamed to admit I have been in the Atwater area for the last 12 years.....and this is my FIRST TIME HERE! We went here for dinner. It was POPPING! It was a busy night, and there were a couple of parties on the patio; all that being said, we were there for maybe an hour-hour and a half. Our food came out in stages, and our drinks stayed full. (Big kudos for this) I didn't get our sweet waitress' name, but the receipt said Isabel, anyhow she had dark hair & pretty blue nails. It was apparent that tonight was an off night. Apparently, someone passed out, and another person quit; so the service was slower than normal (based on how other customers were acting). All of that to be said, our waitress was sweet and stayed on top of our needs. The meal was like a night at Nona's. My Italian hubby was stoked & said this brought back childhood memories of his Italian family's houses. Had the Dino & Frank (music) in the background. It was a meal and a good ambiance. It was a little dated for decor - but c'mon....who's Nona's house is modern? Despite the chaos....we will be back. Still need to try those fried Oreos. Also, for those who are soda snobs (raises hand) they have...
Read moreAll the people here are very friendly. From the moment you walk in you are treated like family! We had a couple questions about the menu or what was in a particular dish and the waitress was able to answer easily. She knew the menu and the dishes. Our food came in a reasonable amount of time, getting appetizers, soup, salad and main course. We did not get any deserts because we were full from our meals, we even took some home for later! My husband wanted something meaty so he ordered some raviolis with sausage, meat sauce. He was very happy with his selection, it was filling. I ordered a cheese tortellini with alfredo sauce. It was so good, even though I was full, I still wanted to keep eating! Many things here are "home made" including the bread. This isn't just bread, it's real hand made, home made bread and it's delicious. We took home some of each dish and some garlic cheese bread. I enjoyed eating the leftovers for lunch the next day. Prices weren't bad. I believe our meals were under $20 each, and included the main dish, soup or...
Read more0 STARS!!! Do not go here! We made a reservation three days before, called a day before to make sure they had our reservation. They claimed to have been super busy (they really weren’t). We ordered our food and it took TWO HOURS, after those two hours there were still 3 of us who hadn’t gotten a plate yet. We found a hair in our mozzarella sticks, our soups were cold, the chicken piccata tasted like you were biting into a lemon. They never gave us our bread that was supposed to be there with our appetizers until after an hour and a half. The pizza was super greasy, the pasta tasted like pasta water with a splash of tomato sauce. There was so much more but I’ll leave it at that… also one waitress was EXTREMELY rude., tried to pick a fight with my family by yelling through the whole restaurant. They made us pay for our food that we didn’t eat because half of our party was already done and we had barely gotten our food. We will NEVER go back and will tell everyone to...
