Disappointing

by east cobb diner at Citysearch

Based on earlier reviews, we didn't expect much ambiance, but we expected good food. We ordered within 10 minutes of arriving, the salad and bread came out quickly, but we were there over an hour before our entrees arrived. After the long wait, the food was disappointing; The heavy egg-batter coating made the Chicken Florentine taste like french toast.. The Soft Shell Crabs tasted like they had been frozen. Although we never expect great wine in a neighborhood Italian restaurant, even the wine was minimal quality. We will not return.

• Pros: Our waiter was attentive
• Cons: Entrees took forever; food was disappointing

Great food. Nice Price

The "early bird special" {m/f before 7:00) is the best bargain I've seen around Atlanta.

Reasonably priced food and wine.

You won't believe the size of the servings.

Very good traditional Italian.

I don't know why it's listed as just Pizza here - it's much more than that.
