"The garlic bread was good. A few burnt but a good side. The chicken & broccoli Alfredo was very good. Well sauced good amount of broccoli and chicken in ratio to pasta. Did not care for the godmother. Chicken parm and eggplant was soggy, spinach was minimal, couldn't even find the ricotta. The red sauce that served with it is very bland. Very underwhelming dish. "
