This is the first time I've ever really taken the time to write a review like this, and for good reason. I normally see no reason to do so, as most people ignore them, and I usually don't think the owner of the restaurant will take notice.
But this is different.
My wife and I both ordered the CHICKEN PARMIGIANA. And it's the most delicious, best tasting chicken parm either of us have ever had, and my wife grew up Italian, eating traditional Italian dishes prepared by old school Italian family.
The chicken is obviously hand prepared, and it's a fantastic size for the dish. It's a large portion of pasta, and even in a great ratio to the chicken.
However... they really messed up with the sauce. Don't get me wrong, the sauce is just as astonishingly delicious as the rest of the dish. But there's so little of it. I flipped through the pasta, hoping that maybe they had put some in layers throughout the dish... no. It really was just the little bit that was on the surface.
Leo, you have to stop skimping on the sauce. The meal would be truly mind-bending, if there was a proper ratio of sauce to pasta. Right now, it's 90% pasta, 10% sauce. It needs to be 75% pasta, 25% sauce, especially with such a large portion of pasta. This comes from a fourth generation Italian woman.
If any potential diners are reading this, and have made it this far, it is still worth ordering this dish. It's tasty enough to be worth the lacking sauce. But if I were you, after placing your order, I would consider placing a call and asking if they can add 15% more sauce. You'll be glad you did, and it's worth whatever amount of money they want for it.

The food was appetizing, looked nothing like pictures! The MAMA'S SPAGHETTI & MEATBALLS entree was slices of some type of steak meat in red sauce over ziti noodles. There was enough to cover the bottom of the container only. The CHICKEN PESTO ALFREDO entree consisted of burned chicken breast, lightly tossed in Alfredo with pesto and steamed broccoli. Both dishes looked and tasted like $8 meals at best, and that is me being nice. I will never order from this restaurant again and it was not worth the $40+ I payed for it.

I know it won't look like the pictures when it comes in a take out box. But, genuinely looked absolutely nothing like the images.
Also, all around wasn't very flavorful. MAMA'S SPAGHETTI & MEATBALLS was served with penne, and the meatballs were crushed and not seasoned. MOZZARELLA GARLIC BREAD was on steakhouse rolls with cheese melted on them, not served with marinara sauce like advertised.

I would give this place NO STARS! Ordered chicken pesto alfredo..it was made with spaghetti noodles, no broccoli, no pesto and some runny alfredo, if thats what you want to call it..it was not even a full portion with 3 small cubes of chicken..I also ordered the salmon scampi..it was about 3 pieces of salmon in the same runny alfredo. The garlic bread came with only 2 bite size pieces unlike the image of at least 4. I called their number and they wont even come to the phone WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!

CHICKEN PARMIGIANA was really good but why did they put sooo little sauce? the sauce was amazing but absolutely not enough to cover my noodles. CHICKEN PESTO ALFREDO was really good too. could also use more sauce
