Like what many have said on here, this place has gone downhill! I had watered down marinara pasta. It was not good. Wait staff if nice which is why I gave it one star but its a stretch.

Meh. Pizza is okay, nothing too special. The alfredo sauce is good, but if you want a side order to dip your bread in you need to buy a whole pint, ugh.
