So, adorable red checkered tablecloth style decor, right off the Expressway on the quiet section of Bell. Warm, cozy.
But the food sucks. Everything is plain plain plain, no interesting flavors or spices to perk things up.
Service is absent-minded and a little belated, too. Boo.
I so wish they lived up to how cute they looked.Listed in: When in Bayside, Watch Out for…

ughhhh why didn't I check yelp before coming here!!!!!
The food was overpriced and terrible!!!
We ordered a ceasar salad to start with, it took the waiter 20 minutes to bring it out. I still dont know if there was any lettuce in that salad, because the "salad" was drenched in ceasar dressing, it looked like soup, it was disgusting!!! Their sangria was also terrible.
Entrees: I ordered pasta with clams in white sauce. The clams had sand in them. There was no white sauce, all I got was pasta with sandy clams drenched in hot water.
Service: AWFUL, it took him 40 mins to bring out our pathetic entrees. He kept talking about how he was hitting up bell blvd for some drinks as soon as his shift was over.... REALLY???
I almost started crying when we had to pay the bill, biggest waste of my life. DATS ITTT -

Terrible food that my 6 year old little sister could make. Since I'm vegan, I specifically asked if a dish had any cheese in it, and the waitress asked the chef and I HEARD him respond to her pointed question of whether the raviolo di funghi had cheese in it, to which he denied.
Lo and behold, there was cheese in the ravioli, and even though I was pretty much certain it was cheese, I took the tiniest bite cause I didn't believe after her asking ESPECIALLY IF the ravioli had cheese in it, there would be cheese. But what can you expect?
As soon as I walked in it was like an episode of Kitchen Nightmares (I said this out loud and think the one and only waitress in the restaurant heard me, she was standing next to me but I didnt see her =P). Granny-curtains, fake flowers, glass ornaments and dated decor. I really hoped they spent the money they saved on decorating the place into buying quaity ingredients, but like the ancient wallpaper and sunflower welcome platter hanging on the wall, the food was bland and in poor taste. Too bad each plate of "food" was also overpriced, my entree, an angel hair mess (I reordered cause I was starving) with asparagus, tomatoes and broccoli messily and hastily chopped and cooked came out to 13.00. Blech.
Did I mention waiting for the terrible entrees to arrive took pretty much 30-35 mins? Well, what can I say, my good ol' old-school dad chose it. -

Food is delish! Momma's always there and in charge making sure she's cooking for the family. We love the calamari and carbonara! Unfortunately the service is always a hit and miss. We've been there three times and two out of three we had to wait quite a while just to get water for our glasses. They also definitely treat the regulars like family - extra food and fast service.

Hit or miss. The wait is always long-- at least an hour, if not more. The food could be extremely delicious or incredibly grotesque. The first time, we ordered their special of the day: a seafood risotto which was amazing. The second time, we ordered an eggplant risotto which was ROTTEN. The eggplant was definitely way too old and made my stomach very unhappy that night. Would definitely not got there again!

Food is bad, service is worse. Don't go there. Bad service, small portions unattractively served.
