I stopped by for lunch when this place opened, and was pleasently surprised. The food is not the best in the city, but it's better Italian American than you would expect them to serve. It is a fantastic place to take relatives/friends who are visiting from out of town, especially the less adventurous. The portions are *huge* as mentioned. 1 app, a salad, 2 entrees, and a dessert would easily feed 6 people, IMHO. Maybe 8.
