7. Olive Garden

The service was good, not great, the food disappointing. I had the shrimp scampi with angel hair pasta, very disappointing. My allergies were bothering me so although I noticed the food was bland, and more salt didn't help, it wasn't until we got home that I realized that it was because they had included very little sauce, it was very dry. Now, with Italian, sauce is 90% of the dish, skimp on it and you miss the whole experience. It was more than I could eat, so I took the rest home. Later I realized the problem so for dinner the next night my lovely wife whipped up some sauce for me. It greatly improved the dish but by then the pasta had turned to mush, I think it must have been overcooked.This is the second time in a row I've been very disappointed, the third time ago we ate here after probably a 20 year hiatus from Olive Garden and we were very surprised, in fact I gave them 5 stars. Last two times I've been disappointed and have given them only two stars.
6. Jackâs Place
Reviewed By Temblor123
The spaghetti was pretty good for mass produced, but the garlic bread didn't seem to have much garlic.One knife had dried food on it. All the salt shakers were clogged, no doubt due to the high humidity the last week. I tried the one on our table then the one from the next table over. They were all grinder types and wouldn't produce even one grain of salt. I told the receptionist who got one off another table and it weakly produced salt. Then she took the two that wouldn't work at all and put them back on the tables, then went back to loafing at her station.Our server was Andrew C who couldn't have been better. I mentioned the shakers to him and he promised to unclog them as soon as he had a minute.We did take a look at the brunch, lunch and dinner menus and there were some interesting possibilities.We commend Jack's Place for dedicating a day of business to a fund raiser for Meals on Wheels, a cause close to our hearts, we delivered for them for years in Sheffield before age caught up to us.We'll give them another try, and report again.
5. Godfather's Pizza
Reviewed By Deb W
I must admit, my sister liked this place while I did not. They offer a 'buffet' of sorts, but it's pretty small and disappointing. The restaurant was not as neat & clean as I would like. Pizza was okay but not hot....more like lukewarm since it was sitting under a heat lamp. Disappointing lunch for me.

Pizzas here are really good and they have ANCHOVIES as a topping (unlike most pizza joints, especially in small towns). Live music many nights and a fun, relaxed atmosphere. The wait staff are attentive and the bar is always lively. And did I mention that the pizzas are amazing! Go for the thin crust! SIDE NOTE: I live in Florence and this is the closest restaurant to my house so I am biased towards it!!! Enjoy!

Stopped in for another great meal at Ricatonis. We are salad, pizza and had drinks. Pizza cooked to perfection always. Service fast and friendly. Drinks made to order served quickly and taste delicious. Restaurant is always full and so you should expect noise level to be high. Enjoy the food!

I tend to come here with friends and their young children. The pies are consistently solid and the staff is really friendly. They seem to know how to seat customers to optimize their experience and always check in often. Super friendly folks and great pizza.
