Amazing pizza. Yes, it takes a bit to prepare, but totally worth the wait. Fresh ingredients, made with care for the food. Dining felt like we were back in Italy. We were not rushed and enjoyed our time. The staff were very nice and responsive to any requests. Our favorite place and a must anytime friends are in town. Don’t want to wait? Call ahead.

Friendly staff, good pizza, decent pasta. You can’t go wrong getting pizza here. The pasta on the other hand is noting too special. Kinda pricy with smaller portions. Their marinara sauce is pretty good. If you’re gonna go here, just get the pizza.

Last night was our first experience at this restaurant & our last. Service was good, but that’s about it.

This is a sad change. We have been here 6 or 7 times in the last 3 years but will never go there again. We noticed a decline last year but this visit topped the cake. We eat out a lot and and this place is now tied for 1st for our worst experience in 34 years. The service was so incredibly inept that I felt like we were in a comedy skit. The lead waitress was covered in cat hair. Gross. You truly had to be there to appreciate these 2 in action. There were 3 tables of 2 and it was obvious we all shared the same frustration with the service. Just getting our beer order was particularly difficult but I still held out hope for the food. I ordered baked spaghetti and my husband ordered a small pizza extra crispy. My portion was much smaller then in the past but at least I was able to eat it. They must have somehow forgotten to make my husbands pizza and simply brought out my spaghetti with 2 plates to share. We reminded them that he ordered a pizza. When it was finally brought out, 2/3 of the pizza was undercooked (raw dough still left in the crust). This is exactly opposite of what we ordered. We took it home and tried to salvage it by baking it some more but ended up throwing it out. I’m so bummed about the decline in this place.

I love the pizza bread. Hands down my absolute favorite. The owner is a very down to earth guy. The portions are just right, especially for some big men with empty stomachs. My friend ate meat ravioli today and a cannoli and loved both.

I’ll start with the positive – the food was ok. While not the best, it certainly was not the worst Italian food we’ve had. The place was clean, and the people were nice. Otherwise, the service was bad and the whole experience forgettable. Our first clue was when trying to order some beer. The menu indicated they “feature Budweiser products “. While you couldn’t pay me to drink a Budweiser product, I mention this because there was not a single Budweiser product in the clearly visible cooler. We ordered Becks Dark, as was listed on menu. The waitress told us, “we don’t have that because the owner refuses to get it…”. Since no other beer interested us, we ordered two glasses of “house wine “. No clue as to who made them – another sign of poor restaurant management

I wouldn’t waste my time eating here again. A total of 2-1/2 hours for a deep dish pizza and a beer. The service is awful one waitress with 3 tables and she was overwhelmed. The pizza had to be the worst disaster I’ve seen and tried. Extremely greasy and it seams like they put 20lbs of unmelted cheese on with very few toppings. Good luck if you end up here.

Service was decent and friendly. Portions were pretty damn big. Had the ravioli, wouldn’t say they were fresh handmade and the sauce was a little plain for taking 8 hours to make. If you’re looking for Italian in Sparta, this is the place to go. Since there are no other options.

When we arrived there was only one employee there and they’d been open over an hour. He provided prompt and courteous service; however the 1st item I ordered they were out of and then they were out of the second item as well. I ended up just ordering the stuffed shells. Which were ok but not anything special. My friend ordered a pizza and that was better than the pasta.
