Food: Bland and forgettable meals
The array of Italian cuisine on offer at Italian Cravings lacks substance and fails to impress. The lack of creativity is evident with a seemingly endless menu that lacks focus. The appalling food, described as bland and horrible, made for a terrible dining experience. On top of that, the food tasted stale, indicating that fresh ingredients were not in use. The saving grace might be their generous portions, but one has to question the value of a large quantity of unpalatable food.
Great Value
Experiencing first class dining for half the usual cost is exceptional.
Okay Taste
Food wasn't great but wasn't bad either; mediocre, unexceptional.
Bad Variety
Long menu implies lack of specialty in any dish.

Vibe: Harsh lights kill ambiance
Italian Cravings suffers from a dull and uninviting atmosphere. This is amplified by bright lighting that offers little in the way of a pleasant ambiance. In addition to this, the curb appeal of the restaurant leaves a lot to be desired with a location that raises eyebrows. Their drink selection also disappoints, with a noticeably poor wine selection.
Okay For Dates
Restaurant is cozy yet lighting too bright, offers decent space for groups
No Views
Curb appeal low, area around restaurant bit questionable.
Perks: Hit and miss service
While parking at Italian Cravings is commendably ample and convenient, the negative aspects cannot be ignored. The outdoor seating area is uncomfortable and unsuitable for large groups. Service quality varies from warm to neglectful, making it a rather unpredictable dining experience. A silver lining of sorts is their pet-friendly policy and their willingness to cater to customers with special dietary requirements.
Great For Pets
Pets warmly welcomed with immediate water service and friendly attitude.
Okay Service
Service quality varies, with both attentive and neglectful experiences noted
Bad Outdoor
Outdoor tables sticky and uncomfortable, possibly due to salty air.
