No matter what main course we order, we end up enjoying the salad and breadsticks just as much, if not more. Whenever I’
The best thing about this place is the unlimited salad and breadsticks. And if you sit by a window, you can look down on a nice view of times square from the second floor while you enjoy a good meal.

The food was far from what I would call Italian. We ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana with spaghetti, and it was a disaster. The sauce was much too acidic, and the spaghetti was not good at all.

The service was good, and the staff were nice and respectful.
