    Nothing. Really bad meal. Don't go. Nothing tastes of garlic, food is cold or over cooked. It's a tourist trap. Don't go!

    Bad food, servers who try to rush you out. Try Molianis or Giordanos next door, a third the price and food you won't forget.

    Service here sucks. I feel like I'm at a circus. Don't bother wasting your money on the drinks, they suck, save it to buy another entree cause they're that small. Just don't even come.

    Waiters and servers are way undertrained and unprofessional. Don't expect to be treated kindly while waiting for a table.
