The soon to be defunct Quinlan Park Grill offers more of a reaction for half the price...speaking of which why can't they make anything work there, location is great, patio is fine....and its not like the owners haven't been in the local resturant business for several decades?

The bread and dipping sauce are good, ranch dressing on the salad is refreshing, but otherwise it’s just regular ol' pasta….not much of a step up from Stouffers....Smoked Chicken Fettuccine is the only unique item on the menu left.

I don't care how busy you are, if it takes 15+ minutes to get a basket of stale bread tossed on your table with a grunt and no drink orders taken, and blown off by the server 2-3 times, it's simply unacceptable.

For what it is, a reasonably-priced, kid-friendly, Italian restaurant, I think it's great. I have never tried the pizza, but I have been happy with their other dishes. I am happy with HCPH.

So are their mozzarella sticks. We always ask for extra bread and oil because they always give us fresh bread and a lot of oil. We usually do take out from HCPH, it’s been a while since we actually ate in the restaurant. They make take out really easy. They bring it to your car, you never have to get out of the car.

The food doesn't seem to have much flavor. The Pizza was just ok for me. I really like the lakeside pizza much better. I also have ordered the fettucini with chicken and the chicken is very bland. I have been to the HCPH a total of 5 times and each time I wonder why I come back. I don’t like to complain about restaurants but I don’t like the Pasta House.
