Really pretty good! I liked the meatballs and marinara sauce ( no weird spices) and meatballs are 2 oz so a good size. The noodles were cooked to perfection and the garlic bread was tasty. They sale a nice sized bucket of high quality parmesan cheese for a reasonable price. Two thumbs 👍 up from me. Tasty,affordable, quick and convenient.

Had the bucket for 2. Added 4 meatballs. This included garlic toast. It was awesome and the prices were reasonable. You can easily feed a family. It tasted awesome. Had enough for leftovers. The staff was also helpful. Will definitely be back. I would give it 10 RC planes out of 10.
