The calamari appetizer was good, however the main entrees (sausage, rigatoni & spicy tomato sauce/ chicken parm) was not good. The noodles were undercooked for both entrees and the meat just not fresh. Will not be eating there again unfortunately.

                                                                                  Is this helpful?

I mean they are all nice, but can’t seem to be bothered at the same time. Like they have better things to do than to help you. Takes forever to pay the bill lately too, seems odd. Take my money for this over priced meal please. The food used to be amazing, now it’s good. Tonight for the first time, it’s wasn’t even good. Maybe it was just a bad night.
