We came here for our Italian craving, only to discover that they don't offer pizza. So we ordered some pasta plates. They are easily the worst pasta I've ever eaten in my life. Service was below average. Even the appetizer empanada was terrible. And even my cold coffee wasn't good. Seriously, go somewhere else.

Our hotel was around the corner from this restaurant so we decided to try it for lunch. We had no problem with the service, but thought the electronic order placing machine was a bit much. Took away from the charm of the restaurant. We had ordered ceviche, but got shrimp ceviche instead as they were out of white fish. I... More

The food was just okay. Nothing spectacular. We had high hopes based on recommendations, but were disappointed. The attention was slow, the table was crowded by a screen for electronically placing orders (which did not work), and the waiter added a generous tip on my credit card (I said 10%, he put %20+). Probably won't go there again.

Everything about this restaurant is awful. When we arrived, the waiters didnt' want to sit our party of 7 in the main floor, even though there were many tables available. While ordering, we heard the waiter say 'we dont have this' far too many times. We ordered 7 dishes and waited for about half an hour. We were already running... More

This place has steadily gone downhill since it opened. It was an inexpensive place that served pretty good home style cooked meals. But last times I have been there I have found the place looking very dirty, I won't even mention the bathrooms and the food quality gets worse and worse. Would never go back.

Used to be a very good place to go and have some fast served and fresh pasta. Now a days, have become a more industrialized chain restaurant with frozen pasta that is ok, but nothing more than average.. If you want great pasta..go somewhere else..

I came here for lunch in April. I will try and keep this review brief. There are plenty of restaurants along this strip, and you should have no problem finding something better. I will keep this review to bullet points, but consider it a warning! - dreadful service (answering back to requests with cocky remarks, rudeness, slow, wandering off during... More

Well where do I start... However before I do I would like to say that I am not one of these difficult people who can't be pleased. I travel a fair amount around the world and know the difference between good and bad food but this was something else. My self and 3 friends ( who also travel the globe... More

This is the outstanding feature of this restaurant chain: cheap italian food, although not the best quality and flavour.
