This Italian restaurant serves the worst food I've ever had. I ordered the chicken Parmesan and my husband had the beef lasagna, both dishes were dry and lacked enough sauce. It seems like the only people who eat here are old regulars who have nostalgia for the place. The servers were friendly, which is the only positive aspect of our experience.

The food was average, lacking seasoning in every dish. The gnocchi was soft but had very little gorgonzola in the sauce. The service was not terrible, but nothing outstanding. We had to ask multiple times for water and a plate setting for the third person at our table (there were only two sets). Overall, I don't think I will be returning to dine there again.
