Went here tonight and to our surprise was all you can eat pasta for under $8! It came with a salad , bread, and your choice of unstuffed pasta with whatever sauce combo you wanted. Our waitress Jen was amazing. Great value and great service equals some place you need to be.

Ordered an Italian Beef with Marinara. I usually like it ok, but it is not the Italian Beef I like. Today the Italian Beef was amazing and was mor Italian Beef Style. What ever was different, keep it up!!!

I haven't lived in Peoria for over 20 years yet anytime I'm in town, I have to get myself a gondola. They still make it the same as they did when I was in college and I don't think the price has changed much either. Thank you for the memories!
