Traditional dishes and all -you-can-eat salad, soup and bread sticks are the draw at this upscale-casual Italian restaurant.. In Short
Established in 1982, this chain gained a following for its laid-back atmosphere and generous portions. Patrons settle into comfortable booths and tables in dining rooms with plants, artwork and décor reminiscient of the villas in the Tuscan countryside. Starters include scampi, sausage or pepperoni pizza, and several soup choices, as well as a signature seafood dip (crab, shrimp, cheese and marinara). Entrees include classics like lasagna, fettuccine Alfredo and chicken parmigiana. There are also "Garden Fare" options, which promise 30 percent fewer calories.

The Soup and Salad are a real bargain. Several friends and I often visit this place after aerobics class and the soup and salad are very good. I especially like the Minestrone soup. There are two other soups and I have tried them all but always go back to Minestrone. The service is good if sometimes slow but the soup and salad are a bargain. Some of the other dishes on the menu don't fare as well and are often served luke warm.
