$22 for spaghetti and meatballs. I asked for extra sauce. I was charged an extra $2 for that - not even for more meatballs, just a few table spoons extra of sauce

Great choices, family friendly. I had the trio. Enjoyed pasta and chicken parm but not a fan of the lasagna. The bread, salad and wedding soup were really good but was very full by the time Entree arrived. Desserts were nothing to write home about. Overall, good quantity of food for $$, great service and a great atmosphere for kids!

Very friendly and accommodating experience. Service was excellent. Great children's menu including their "special" drinks. Our 7-year-old grandson was even entertained and sat in his seat the whole time (not our usual experience). We will definitely be back.
