    I wouldn’t say the food would wow you, but overall, it’s a good experience. The eggplant lasagna is truly amazing. I would definitely go back for that and try something else.

    Our server was really fast and friendly. The bus boy was nice and they all did their jobs. I did not like how unfriendly the hostess. She did not greet anyone with a smile she looked very upset and not happy.
