The flavors are good but they over cook the sausages and meatballs, talking to the waitress I found out that they leave the meats cooking all day. If you don’t know Italian or food you don’t know. But this is a bad habit in the restaurants part. This is the reason I don’t eat in Sylmar, Most places Underestimate clients taste. The waitress said Oh the pink sauce is the best try it.

Also, the salad had a cup of water in the container because I guess they don't know how to drain Lettuce. On top of that, their service at this location is mediocre. Every time I've come in, they haven't given care in the world to try and...
