Hasn't changed since my days at Cal. Generous portions, tasty, and affordable, especially compared with other Italian joints charging twice their prices. Godfather's Favorite is legendary if you love creamy pastas! Pro tips: Ask them to package bread separately so it doesn't get soggy, switching pastas comes at no extra cost.

Really hot and fresh food. Crazy Alfredo is definitely the best dish! Meatball Sandwich was good but gets soggy in the container, would only get again if I was in person. Their white sauce are definitely better than the red sauce but the red is not bad either. I asked to sub extra sausage for no chicken and they put A LOT of extra sausage!
