I love this place!

by dms34

My boyfriend eat here every couple months. We have ordered the regula rpizza and the stuffed pizza. He prefers the regular pizza, which has a nice, crispy crust. The stuffed pizza is awesome! It is full of cheese and any ingredients you choose. The crust has a sweet taste and is dusted with parmesan.

I also love their pasta. I ordered the chicken parmesan, and it's pretty good...not too dry. It is a tad bland, but I know that's somewhat common. The eggplant parmesan is some of the best I've had.

It annoys me that they don't serve liquor. I think that in 2009, any place that doesn't pay for a liquor license is cheap and annoying. I don't drink beer or wine and would like a drink after dinner sometimes.

It does not have a good atmosphere. The tables are crowded and falling apart. There are often loud, huge groups that are not seperated from the rest of the dining room. Also, the ventilation is not good. Don't plan on going anywhere but home unless you change clothes first; you will smell like a giant pizza. You can see the tiny kitchen, and it is not very clean. Watching servers dust oyur pasta with cheese using their bare hands is gross. I know they do it everywhere, but to see it, with unwashed hands, is yucky.

Their desserts are very good. I love their tiramisu and cannoli. They both taste fresh and authentic.

The servers are very good. They are very nice. They could sometimes use a cleaner uniform. It also takes a while to be seated here. I would call ahead.

• Pros: Good food, great service, low prices
• Cons: poor atmosphere, no liquor

Hey, at leasts it's better than Fazoli's!

by Maus0

It's a pretty big stretch to call this place authentic Italian. Having lived with 3rd generation italian-americans, this was nearly offensive. The lazagna and ziti were microwaved, The Manicotti, tortellini, raviolli, and stuffed shells are premade in a factory somewhere and frozen. The Shrimp pasta was watery and incredibly bland. The ingredients were not very fresh. The salads are very inconcistent as far as quality goes. The Dressings come prepackaged except the bleu cheese which was pretty tasty, though the ranch was the worst I think I've ever had (watery and bitter and greenish) The bread was good. The Pizzas and calzones were pretty good although lacking in flare. the tomato sause comes straight from a can which was VERY disappointing The meat sause smelled aweful. Overall the food was bland and overpriced. The beer and wine list was decent. The atmosphere was ok.. nothing special, though the building has alot of character and the location is great. The walls were paper thin next to the kitchen and dish area which was very disruptive if you are seated in the back. The wait staff was friendly enough, a little slow at times. The Food was very overpriced for the quality. although on certain nights you can get the stuffed pastas relatively cheaply though you are better off going to Fazoli's if you want cheap italian food. If you really want a good pizza Tomato Tomato is right around the corner. If you want real fine dining Maple Street Grill Is only a few doors down.

• Pros: good pizza and calzones.
• Cons: Overpriced and Bland

Best italian food in Murfreesboro

by vanorman

We eat here every couple of weeks on Date Night (Thursday night) when they give a great special - two entrees, two drinks, etc... all for a very reasonable price. The food is great, the staff is very friendly, we love it. The only downside? The decor could use a little sprucing up. But that's part of the "family restaurant" charm.

• Pros: food, service, value
