"The Spinach & Cheese Ravioli was mediocre and overpriced for the 10 ravioli I recieved in my small container. The salad was bagged lettuce in cardboard container. Disappointing, but I took a chance not eating here for about a decade, to try it out. "

The ravioli were also perfect! Everything was perfectly prepared. We will reorder often So sorry we didnt take pictures after platting. YUM! "

"THE ROMAN PIZZA by Davinci's Pizza was excellent. Loved all the vegetables and a little meat! This our favorite pizza choice. We also ordered a small salad ($4.50) which was basically lettuce covered with two tomato slices and cheese on top. Not good or worth the money we paid for it.

"Just not very good all around. Cesar salad might as well have been one of those awful kits from the grocery store.
