The large salad was pretty basic. Some pizza toppings (onion olives banana peppers), cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and some decent dressing. Nothing spectacular. The spaghetti was not my favorite. The noodles were more like udon than a good spaghetti. It was also overcooked so the noodles were a little mushy for my liking. The sauce wasn't bad, but it couldn't save the noodles. The eggplant parm was the highlight. Saved the score on this review. It was nicely layered and cooked perfectly. Very cheesy and a great amount of sauce. I would order just the eggplant again but very underwhelming everything else.

We were staying in Southpointe and this establishment came up as a nearby option. We had three of the grandkids with us along with our son. Two of the grandkids are picky eaters, but pasta and pizza often do the trick in a situation like this. Hence, Italian fare fit the bill quite nicely. Located in a small complex sharing a driveway with a daycare, a bakery and a couple of other businesses, this place was otherwise located in a very quiet neighborhood. It was not hard to find with GPS, but was one of those places that surprised you when it came up because there was little other commercial activity around it. The storefront was simple. The dining area was moderate in size and seemed to be sectioned in two parts. They also apparently have a seasonal patio which was not being used that evening as far as I could tell. It was an hour before close when we walked in on a Saturday evening. It was not terribly busy, and thus we were seated right away. Our server, Sarah, did a great job. She was engaging without being intrusive and made sure we had what we needed. The menu featured several Italian favorites as one would expect at a place like this. The kid's menu featured a cheese pizza and a penne pasta with a meatball that worked well for the two picky eaters. Our son suggested that the three adults split a Greek Salad and a pizza to conserve on costs. This sounded good to us and we made what turned out to be a great choice with the medium Italian Steak Pizza. It was very tasty and this amount of food was enough to satisfy everyone. The youngest grandchild was able to share the pasta with her sister (and they still did not eat it all) further conserving cost (and food). We did end up getting dessert since we offered it to our grandson. He opted for the Zeppole, which was fried pizza dough drizzled with honey and sprinkled with powdered sugar. They were almost like donut holes. This option was nicely shareable and allowed for moderate consumption. We took four or five pieces back to the room with us for later. It was a nice finish. Our final bill was $89 including food, drink, tax and tip. At just under $30 per adult (ignoring the kids in this equation), that was not bad. Considering three kids were also fed, that's a really good deal. If we're in the area again, we'll certainly consider making a return visit.

The service is like visiting your Italian great Auntie; friendly and fun. But, you go there for the food.

The cost is more than reasonable.

We arrived at 11:30 AM, and the door was locked, but thankfully an employee noticed us and unlocked the door. Another customer told us that the building used to be a coalmine store. I noticed that the interior looked rustic, with exposed brick and crooked floors. The women's bathroom was clean. The employee provided very courteous service. The menu listed appetizers (e.g., fried provolone and calamari), salads, sandwiches, mains (e.g., pastas, veal parmesan, and chicken picatta), and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Here are my ratings for what we ordered: Small chicken parmesan - 4 stars - The small size was actually pretty big a definitely enough for one person to eat. The chicken, sauce, and cheese tasted very good, but I prefer crispier breading. Meatball sandwich - 3 stars - My husband ate this sandwich. He said that the meatballs tasted "interesting" and that the bread could have more flavor. I thought that it tasted alright. Caesar salad - 4 stars - This side salad consisted of lettuce, cheeses, just-made croutons, and a side dressing. Spaghetti - 3.5 stars - This side of spaghetti had nicely cooked noodles and a flavorful sauce. The prices were very reasonable for the large serving sizes. We paid only $30 plus a tip.
