"I was truly truly impressed with the speed and service of the takeout here. The guy prepping takeout had so much hustle, and had my to go order ready in less time than the online ordering projected, even when I ordered two separate orders because I had forgotten something. It's an incredibly well run shop, with great front and back communication that allows them to work so fast. First, my tiramisu it was excellent. It was already prepped and ready for a last minute add to my order. My ceaser salad was perfectly fine. But the minestrone soup wasn't minestrone. It was a cabbage, zucchini, broth veggie soup that reminded me of the cabbage soup diet recipe. Although I slurped it all up because the broth was that good. The reality is, their food tastes no different than prepacked Italian food you buy in the grocery store frozen section which might explain how they had it ready so fast. My creamy tortellini with ham and mushrooms was yummy, and my meat sauce for my spaghetti was good and tasted like my favorite jarred sauce. But the meatballs were ultra salty and tasted like preservatives, as was my husband's chicken for his chicken parmesan. We couldn't say enough good things as we picked it up super quickly, and their combo was a great deal but once we ate everything, we decided we could make better Italian food ourselves at home. That said, if you are in a huge hurry or never cook yourself, then I do recommend these guys run a tight ship with great prices."
