2.0 of 5 stars. Everytime I go here I end up asking myself afterwards, "Why did we come here again?" This place just leaves a wierd taste in my mouth, and the service leaves something to be desired.

Great Italian food by Jackie S. at InsiderPages

For great pasta, Star is the place to go. An unlimited amount of the best garlic rolls, and half orders of pasta or salad is more than enough for a dinner. Good individual pizzas and sandwiches also.
