Cons:
"What I received was an undercooked pizza, cold, way too much cheese and barely any pepperoni, 8 slices I think."
"Unfortunately the carbonara was inedible. Three of us were sick with stomach cramps after trying to eat this tasteless pasta meal."
"Food was exceptional...service far to slow. Ask for olives didnt seem to register until requested 2nd time...Ask for dessert menu after our meal...not forthcoming until my husband had to ask for it again. Not the kind of service you would expect."
