I'm not going to lie, I was expecting this place to be an Olive Garden knock off (I mean come on, the olive tree? lol) but it was actually really good food. I had the cream of crab soup and the blackened fettucini alfredo, both phenomenal. And the soup and salad are way better then that other olive restaurant lol....

Today I ordered a salad and breadsticks. I called in my order and went to pick it up. The girl who prepared my order would not hand me my bag until I paid. I handed her my card expecting her to hand over the bag but she didnt. She was struggling trying to juggle the bag and swipe the card. It was a weird experience.She acted like I was going to take the bag and run! Not without my card!!

The renovations/bar have ruined this place. The music/noise from the bar carries over to the restaurant and you can barely hear people sitting at your table.

This place is basically a more low-key Olive Garden. Everything is just as delicious, just slightly cheaper and less romantic/fancy. Any seafood pasta will not disappoint.

Business description (1)

This family-owned Italian restaurant is the second of its kind to open in Maryland (the other two locations are in Aberdeen and Pikesville). The atmosphere varies with the time of day -- a business vibe at lunch morphs into a more elegant, date-night feel for dinner. The bar is hopping from happy hour through till close, and there's usually a wait for tables, so reservations are a good idea....
