Drove all the way up from the Southtowns after this place was highly recommended to us to celebrate a birthday. As one of us had to work until 9:30, we were limited in our options for a non-chain restaurant for Italian cuisine. We got there about 20 minutes after 10 on a Saturday night and were seated shortly afterwards. Our server came over quickly and took our drink orders.

Sadly, it was all downhill after that. Google had said the place was open until 11:30, but the menus stated 11. We quickly looked over the menu and were in the middle of placing our orders when we were informed that the pasta dinners were no longer available, as they stopped serving them at 10. But they were still doing fried foods and pizza until the kitchen closed. This course, blew our minds. Nowhere on either the website or the menu is this notated anywhere. And what kind of restaurant advertises that the they are a Spaghetti House but stops serving Spaghetti an hour before they close their kitchen? That is what one would expect of a bar, not a restaurant. That's like Dunkin' Donuts stopping the sale of donuts an hour before they close.

Kind of stunned, we put in a few appetizers to give us some time to figure out what to do. The server told us to take our time and left us to go put them in. 10 minutes later she came back to see if there was anything else we wanted, as she'd just been told the kitchen would be closing. It was now about quarter to 11. Apparently taking our time meant now or never.

So we ordered a whole white pizza, and a cheeseburger sub. We requested the sub with ketchup, mustard, onion and pickle, only to be told that the ketchup and mustard would be in packets on the side.

The appetizers arrived and they were okay. I'd ordered hot wings that were more medium with the amount of butter in the sauce, but the taste was decent.

The rest of the food came out shortly after, but we found it to be sorely lacking. The sub had a single dill sphere on the side and there were no ketchup or mustard packets to be had. There was little cheese and little onion to boot.

The pizza was extremely dry, the crust was tough, and had few toppings. It was obvious that the dough was old, probably made Friday to service the weekend. I was told later by the person celebrating his birthday that this was probably the worst pizza he'd ever had. The server dropped off the food and then disappeared to go back to mopping the floor and then chatting in the side room with another server until it became obvious we were waiting for the check. We really never touched our food beyond the appetizers, but that didn't seem to be of any concern.

From the other reviews and the recommendations, we expected much better. Instead, we got mediocre food that felt like it had been just thrown together from kitchen leftovers and "just okay" service. We will not be back.
