“Great sport bar with a fun vibe. Nice selection of beers plus a full bar. The 4 cheese pizza was excellent. The chicken strips appetizer had good flavor but was dry and overcooked. Service was great. It can get crowded so I recommend reservations to ensure getting a table.”
“I love the experience I had at this restaurant the food was delicious and the staff was so kind to me ❤️❤️❤️”
“Nice neighborhood vibe, down to earth blue collar spot. Clam chowder was pretty good definitely worth an order. HOWEVER the steak tips were alright at best kinda have an odd flavor, mashed potatoes I’m pretty sure were microwave instant potatoes not actual mashed they were below average. Not a bad spot to drink with a few buddies (service is a little slow even when it isn’t busy) but food isn’t a home run. In the end very solid drinking spot, food so so.”
“The staff and people are nice but the food is not good and over priced. The meat was over cooked and dry and the cheese on top did not blend into the meat. The roll was stale.”
“My review for this place is so overdo and my last order has me livid. I've order from this place about 4 times. First time was ok, considering them being in the north end, prices were decent but that's because the food is only mediocre, no way near authentic italian. So the last 3 times I've ordered, the food quality and service has gotten worse each time. I dont know how they are still in business but seeing my experience has been worse then the last time each time with their food they are dishing out explains that this place is having issues. But today, I ordered the rigatoni alla vodka sauce, arancini, and focaccia bread. I posted pics of my food and what the restaurant has on their webiste. each dish horrible, nasty not fresh, probably weeks old. Pasta was so overcooked it was falling apart when picking it up. The chicken pieces had that nasty tendon in them, almost every single piece. And the sauce was tasteless and missing the cheese completely. The arancini were cheap, barely any meat in them but the worst part was they tasted so rancid. And the focaccia bread, which is the cheapest item, was forgotten when picked up. This happened last time when I placed a delivery order. But I couldn't believe I accepted it today. I've ordered it before and it was actually pretty good, but again this place is definitely going down hill. I had to question the girl if she gave me what I ordered cause she took the bread out of a bucket siting on a shelf at their tiny hostess stand. Then she asked if I wanted the oil, so confused but again nasty. All this food is complete trash, a waste and that's were it eneded. Though I had eaten few food bites, I swear this place better hope I don't get sick.”
