Everything was great, but the cannolis were empty in the middle. They were tasty though, just wish they were filled more.

The pizza is too expensive for the size. Delicious but too small. Didn't like the garlic knots too much, tasted like pretzel dough.

I left a note to put sauce on side and it was on the tenders. I ordered ahead and there wasn't a option for no sauce

Thought crust was delish. Beef was good. To me the philly tasted off. Not bad just not to my liking. I had ordered additional sauces and didn't receive. I should have checked.

It was good. Either cheaper prices or more food. I expected the egg rolls to be huge for over $9 a roll.
