The restaurant might have made headlines for its' famous owners, but what do people think of the food?

According to reviews posted on Yelp, opinions are mixed. Here's a selection of reviews (visit the Yelp page to read them all):

• I've eaten here a few times and I think it's great. I Always enjoy whatever I order. Restaurants always have problems when they first open, but now they been here a while and it's very very good. Totally impressed with the food and service. Love this place, and stop here often, when I'm in the area.
• This restaurant was very disappointing. To start, when we walked in, an employee dropped a glass and barely cleaned it up, leaving glass to be all over the floor. From there, we ordered pasta which took quite some time to come out. When it came out, there were some meals that were DRENCHED in the sauce (which varied between dishes) and others that were completely dry.
• I really enjoyed this place, located in the Best Buy strip mall. Just upon sitting down, our water glassed were filled (and constantly refilled during dinner, without having to ask) and a small "bucket" with bread and olive oil was served to us. The staff was very friendly. I had the chicken parm. It came with either pasta or veggies. When it came, the presentation was really nice. The meal was excellent including the mashed potatoes and spinach. I would go back there again.
• Very disappointing! Food was awful. Service terrible. Grandma pie tasted like canned tomato sauce. Pizza crust premade - what's with that? Caprese coupling - a warm mozzarella salad missed the mark as well.
