there were 3 of us in our group and all of us were enthusiastically pleased with everything about this restaurant. The waiter was outstanding, explaining the items on the menu, bringing the drinks right away and making sure we didn't run out of the awesome bread. The food was the best Italian food I ever had and we each had a dessert there and took all the leftovers home to enjoy later. Be sure to have the Italian sausage no matter what else you order. This meal made our last night in Branson extra special
BAD!!!
We had a group of ten. Took 20 minutes to get drinks and each time the server came back {at 15 min.intervals}it was to tell us that they were out of something we ordered. When she finally got the order we never saw her again. Went thru the entire dinner with no drinks and needing stuff but she at least was able to add in her 18% tip for doing nothing. Will never go back there.
