I’ve lived in this area for 4 years now and have never tried this place but was driving by and saw a giant sign advertising a $22.75 ‘Family Feast’ and decided to try it. After pulling through the drive-through to place an order, the gentleman let me know I have to come inside or call to place an order and he couldn’t take it at the window. Sure, no problem. I pulled around and parked and called in the order for a Family Feast. After waiting the estimated time I pull back through and was told my order was around $35? I ask why the sign shows $22.75 when it’s actually almost $35. He said it’s over 7 years old and a company has to come out to remove it so it just still stands. Pay and remove that outdated false advertising sign

The spaghetti is always delicious, and on Tuesdays and Fridays it's all you can eat for an amazing price and they do not skimp on portions they load the plate, most people I've seen eat it out full after the first plate.

The pizza here was absolutely AWESOME tonight!!! We ordered a large sausage and pepperoni and it was so much better than we remembered! Hats off to the chef tonight they really nailed it! Don’t forget a side of bbq sauce to go with it, it makes it even better! One of the best pizzas in town! Thank you!

Great place to eat! We got spaghetti meals the last 3 weeks for our football team. They were easy to work with and always had everything ready to go ahead of time for pickup.

Good service. Pastas were good. Breads were soggy in middle and ends were hard. I think the bread had sat out for a while. I'll have to try the other one in town.. Use to go to one in Peoria that was great.

The food here is absolutely fantastic from my experiences, however, you pay an absolute premium for it. The ravioli dinner I got was delicious, as was the garlic bread, but the fact it doesn't come with a drink is a bit insulting. The pizza is also great, but extremely expensive if you want a decent amount of toppings. I do like that they omit the waiter/waitress from the dine-in experience, which does cut down the cost a bit.None of the staff were wearing masks, kitchen staff I understand but people taking/giving orders really should be wearing one.

I lived in Decatur for 25 years and have had la gondola more times than I can count!! This restaurant was great about everything except the food , the torpedo that I got , you could smell and taste the yeast in the bread so much it wasn't even enjoyable also the lack of sauce was bad enough to put a jar of store bought sauce on it so all my money wasn't wasted. A very disappointed customer .

Proper amount of sauce lasagna was very good not dried put like other location

We are long time customers and in last 6-8 months every time I order it is wrong. Gave them another chance tonight and paid over $30 for a pizza that looks like kid made. When I called as I did before I was told there were new people training. I get that restaurants are having challenges but they need to monitor quality of what they are serving. Sorry to say I can’t support this business anymore.

Family feast never disappoints! So much good food for a reasonable price. *Protip- at mozzarella to your garlic bread!
