What to Expect

Classic Italian-American restaurant with family-style portions. Pastas, chicken parm, and signature dishes served on large platters to share. Kids menu available. Semi-private dining rooms for celebrations. Portions are famously large — plan to take leftovers. Reservations recommended for weekends.

How It Compares

Best for large groups and celebrations — family-style sharing makes it perfect for parties. More formal and expensive than Olive Garden. Better value than it appears because portions feed 2-3 people. Not the best choice for a quick weeknight dinner (go to Flower Child for that).

What Parents Say

"My husband celebrated my birthday with friends and family. We had an awesome time. It was the day after Xmas and it was very busy."
