The only guy in there was rude,not helpful, and definitely took a price of my pizza! When I went back in and showed him all he said was that's how we make it. Absolutely ridiculous, over priced, lacking flavor, and won't ever be coming back.

The Old World charm speaks to you as you enter this Escanaba hot spot! Another excellent meal here! The filet is the best I've had in a long time. The service was excellent. Our waitress was a true gem! We wanted her to join us if she wasn't working! Lol. Sweet gal! The food was cooked as ordered and served to us in record time. For the first time in years I had a PINK SQUIRREL after dinner drink and it was beyond words! I can't wait to return for dinner again!

I havent eaten here in ages...this past weekend was amazing. Loved that they have booths ...It smells good when you walk in, they have attentive, friendly wait staff...and serve hot ...yummy bread! The menu is "traditional" Italian...i had the chicken marsala, my date had the chicken parm... My chicken breast was perfectly prepared and the marsala was 2 die 4 sauce....ask the wait staff for suggestions...and what is homemade...( ravioli / lasagna )...the young lady who waited on us was amazing...she was studyiing nursing at Bay, and took her job seriously...unfortunately i didn&apos

Service was really nice. She refilled drinks promptly and ensured we had all we needed. Mad props to her. Also food was really really good. I had shrimp alfredo and shrimp was super moist and juicy. Alfredo was thick and creamy, noodles just right. Will definitely be back.

Ate here on our way to our motel. It was a bit pricey for us, but completely worth it. Had the ravioli and pizza. My son had the calzone. Everything was great! Even the bread and butter and sauce. Especially the cheese/ranch? sauce. If I were to come here again I would try the pasta!

Kept waiting for Gordon Ramsey from kitchen nightmares to show up to tape the opening scene. Not sure where to start. Service was very slow, most of the table without drink refills for an hour. That was an hour waiting for food. Once the food came it was tasteless. The food didn't taste bad it just had no taste, they would have been better off with boxed pasta and jarred sauce. The bread was good and drinks from the bar good, so if you are going for bread and drinks it's ok.
Would not recommend, quite confused by the 5 star reviews. Maybe it has gone down hill in the lat few months but I couldn

Food was good, we were seated immediately and service was prompt. Drinks were ok, not great. My old fashioned was pretty poor, but I've had worse.

Great place to eat- excellent Italian food. Our party enjoyed all of our entries. I had the salmon fettuccine, which was awesome. The fish was grilled perfectly so it was tender and moist; noodles and sauce were rich and tasty. The bread and seasoned butter to start was fabulous. Artichoke dip was an wonderful starter.

I had manacotti with sausage & meat sauce and my wife had rotini with meat ball an meat sauce. Both were served with warm bread and garlic & herb butter. Wonderful meal. Great atmosphere, old Italian decor. Great service. We will be back.

Pretty disappointing overall. Service was the only good thing here. They claim to serve cheese ravioli, when in reality it's cheese pierogies (the pasta is so thick!) And I've never had basil pesto taste like nothing before, but it did here. Will not be back.

Went to Crispigna's on Saturday for dinner. Ordered the Lemon Basil Salmon with a spinach salad that had hot bacon dressing. Both were incredibly delicious. I like that the salmon comes with pasta. Had so much food that I had leftovers for the next day.

We ordered artichoke dip and chips at dinner time because we weren't hungry enough for a big meal. WOW! It was truly delicious. Our waitress that night was very friendly and helpful. And our booth seemed so private. Loved it! Hopefully we'll be through there again soon. I'll make sure I'm hungry next time!

I was rather disappointed when I went there for the first time in years. We got there and 2 employees made eye contacted with us at the door but neither of them said hi or someone would be right with you. They just turned back around and talked to each other while we stood there awkawrdly. When a server finally came to get us, she was not friendly. She looked annoyed like we were an inconvenience. The appearance of the restaurant is out dated. I ordered a pasta dish (which was alright). This came with a salad. The salad was iceberg lettuce and one cherry tomato... That was the salad..... I couldn

I am from houghton about 3 hours away, I was in town for my brothers baseball tournament and the lady at the front desk of our hotel recommended the place and I have to say she nailed it. By far the best Italian restaurant I have been to in the UP. I would definitely recommend to anyone and next time I am in town I will definitely be returning. If It was possible for me to give this place 6 stars I surely would, I wish this place was in my town so I could eat at it regularly.

I had not eaten here and a few years and i was pleasantly surprised. The pizza and free table bread were excellent. They waitress said they recently switched from garlic bread to bread with garlic butter. We had the fresh mozzarella/tomato appetizer and it was great, especially when put on the bread. I ordered the Greek pizza with chicken added and I loved it. I was kind of sad that pineapple wasn't an option for pizza- but I get it, that's not an authentic Italian ingredient. My parents ordered the gnocchi and pasta with meatballs and they liked theirs as well. The staff was very friendly

Based on a pick-up order.
Took about 45 minutes, which seems long for a pick-up. I ordered lasagna, salad, and cheesecake.
The lasagna was ice cold in the middle, the balsamic salad dressing was just balsamic vinegar and the salad was all wilted.
Hopefully, the cheesecake is good; otherwise I'm going to bed hungry. Ugh!

Excellent food and good service. I had the chicken piccata, which was cooked just right, and the mushroom and caper sauce was really good.

The dining room was a little dated but very homey.

The service was good even though we arrived near closing.
