Customer Reviews

Difficult to find the restaurant in the building but the food was well worth it. The restaurant is on the back side of the building on the southern end. I found a sign saying Lotsa Pasta entrance on the northern end of the buildings backslide and ended up wandering through the building for a while. There are signs throughout the building, but it would be nice if they included arrows pointing the direction you should go. Regardless of the scavenger hunt, the chicken parmesan sandwich was fantastic. The chicken was breaded, seasoned, and cooked perfect. The marinara was really good. I also ordered chicken fettuccine Alfredo. The sauce had a bit of a smokey flavor to it. I ordered cinnamon breadsticks, as well. The cream cheese icing is delicious. Glad I found the place.

A nice evening out. This was my first time dining here and I will say I will return and would recommend it to others! Atmosphere inside is nice, with an attractive interior. Servers were nice and attentive, answered all our questions about various menu items. We started with the seafood stuffed mushrooms appetizer. These were very tasty (lol I forgot to take a picture in fact before we got down to the final one!). For entrees I ordered a pizza (created my own). This wood fired traditional pizza was tasty! Crust was a little crispier than I personally like, but overall a nice homemade tasting pizza I would recommend. My husband had traditional spaghetti and meatballs and was very complimentary of it. Again overall I recommend this establishment as a great choice for an evening out.

Stopped in after a long drive and we're so glad we did. The food is HOME COOKED and delish! Not used to that in restaurants where we come from. The portions are huge and the service is stellar. Just an all around homey feel.

I recently had the opportunity to experience this restaurant with a large group of people (there were 15 of us) and they treated us so well, I was very happy with the overall dinner. The pizza was amazing and the atmosphere was light hearted. The wait staff really made the experience top notch and I can't thank them enough for their hospitality. Sadly I am not a local but I know for sure if I am ever in the Cortez area again I will return to this restaurant!
