   This place is awful. At Sunday brunch, the glasses were dirty, the service was terrible and the food was gross...and cold. I will never go back to this dump.

   First we would like to say that this place will be a disappointment for any one that has had real Italian cuisine.
   
   The service was mediocre. We were given the impression that we did not matter at all. The food was overpriced and of poor quality. We ordered the Bruschetta Pomodoro for an appetizer at $5.50. We could barely stifle our laughter when the waiter put a dish on our table consisting of a single piece of Italian bread with the Pomodoro topping. Even worse it was seasoned with garlic powder instead of fresh garlic. The garlic powder left us with a terrible after taste which we had to endure until the next day. Stick with the free rolls. We ordered the lentil soup which was the only good dish of the meal, yet not enough to compensate for everything else. While looking at the menu we saw that the pizza was $11.95 and because of the price we assumed that it would be enough for two people; we were mistaken. We asked to have two different toppings—one in each side of the pizza—and were told by the waiter that they do not do that. I would speculate that this is because the pizzas are bought pre-made, frozen, and then micro-waved. The pizza certainly tasted as though this was the case.
   
   This restaurant is over-priced with mediocre service and bad food. To get better quality Italian cuisine for less money, go to Sbarros. At least there you know what to expect.
