This place used to be pretty good. This time, service was mediocre, food was mediocre. Probably won't go back again. More

They have an amazing happy hour with $2 Sangria, and I love their Sangria. Half price appetizers are awesome, too. More

It used to be nice, with good food, tablecloths, clean dining area. Went there last night and it was crawling with flies, the tables and floor were dirty, and the pizza was soggy. We both felt ill after eating. A shocking decline for a nice nice place. More

Looked for a nice place for date-night and glad we ended up here. Enjoyed a nice bottle of wine (although way overpriced but that is the norm at restaurants right? ) with our appetizers (stuffed mushrooms and calamari - yummie!!!). Then had our entrees - a seafood dish on the specials menu with tilapia, mussels and shrimp - delicious!!!). The... More

We'd heard of this chain but hadn't visited until recently, when dinner for two turned out to be quite pleasant. There was a short but varied wine list -- not just the token Ecco Domani carried by so many places but a five or six good Italian whites -- and a nice selection of starters, main dishes, etc. Bruschetta (note...

This is well located for the hotels at the west end of the interstate. Since we enjoy Italian food and do not have this chain near our home, it is usually our restaurant of choice when we travel through Amarillo. We usually order the specialty items (I especially like the skillet dishes) but we have never had a really bad... More
