I was expecting the same type of experience that we have at the Galena location. It was not the same.

July 14th was when we enjoyed a long shared family style dinner of salad, bread, spaghetti and meatballs and penne chicken romano. Plus some wine

Was the first time here and will definitely be coming back! Food was great and portions were perfect! Highly recommend this place! Even on a busy night we were still able to be seated promptly and the service was fantastic!

We found this place by a Google search when visiting from out of town. We wanted to make sure they were open and called ahead and they answered properly and said come on in. She recommended her favorites appetizer ( calamari yum) & was out within five minutes along with a delicious salad and bread that came with our entree. I don’t even think we were there an hour and 10 minutes with a four course meal for four people. The bill was very reasonable and the staff was very friendly. Most definitely will be back and recommend to anyone visiting Dubuque.

Really enjoyed our dinner there. The food was great, portions were generous, and our server was attentive. Bonus was they have a gluten-free menu with several options on it. However, one of my pet peeves is paying for upscale food but having a table set with paper napkins. Everything about this restaurant, including the prices, screamed cloth napkins to me.

Quinticential midwest italian.The nightly special manicotti” (which cost $22.95) was a piece of cooked lasagna folded around ricotta cheese. The staff was helpful and friendly in-between yelling at each other In the kitchen. Spare yourself the 25$ per plate price tag and just buy matching lean cuisines.

This was our third time, one of the reasons we come to Dubuque. Our waitress really hustled and was very polite. Their garlic bread is so good. And the sausage in the lasagna has just the right amount of spice.

Very disappointed with the food! Have dined here several times in the past and always loved it. Salad was not cut up. Looked like they took it out of a bag and threw it in the bowl. Lasagna was noodles and sausage chucks. Not sure where all the layers of cheese were?? 2 stars for the service. That was good.

Food came out cold. Waitress has great, however the young man who was the busboy would clean off a table and push all the garbage that was on the table to the floor. Wrappers, straws, food scraps all right to the floor. And if he were any slower he’d be walking backwards. For how much it costs. $10 a bar drink, just not worth it.

The atmosphere? Top notch. Very cool vibe.
