   While I understand the experience of family style food offerings, what I would consider the price, to value and taste of the food is nothing special. One of the dishes we ordered was a little cold on the inside, and tasted of what I could best describe as having freezer burn. Most of the other food I would say was average at best compared to other Italian chain restaurants. Maybe it's because it was a midweek with barely any people in the restaurant, but will give them another shot at some point in the future and will update my opinion then.

   Took my girl out for dinner and a movie this evening. Chose the restaurant in Mira Mesa (San Diego). The first thing I noticed is that the place was half empty on a Saturday night. Pretty apparent that this lovely economy is having its effect already. The food was good. Server was attentive. I was struggling with the idea that a shared 3-piece of chicken parmesan and a Caesar salad should hit nearly $100. Didn't see the value. Won't be back. Which explains why people aren't knocking down the doors to go there right now. Good luck!

   It has been ages since we have been here, but it was delicious and fun! Viviana was so good and kind and gave us the best customer experience! There was a kids birthday party next to us that was a bit out of control with noise and running around, but they finally left so we could enjoy our birthday celebration as well. We will be back! Yummy food!

   Very mediocre Italian food. Had the fettetcini Alfredo and was very meh. Added chicken but was very little if it, no seasoning and looked like it had been microwaved. Likely won't go back. Service was good however. Was sat fast and server was attentive and friendly.

   Our server had told us that they did not have chicken that evening (most of their items on their menu have chicken). Also, the one item we have been craving which is the calamari, we were told they dont have it as well. Not a pleasurable experience
