"This was our second visit to Murali's. Three of the four dishes we ordered were fine. The problem was that my "grillante fettucine," which consisted of fettucine noodles in a white sauce and a pork chop, italian sausage, and piece of chicken, was way overcooked and dry. My conclusion was that the meat had been cooked long before, sat around, and was reheated to be served."

"This was a lunch visit to the restaurant. It was about half full on a Friday. We ordered salads and a margharita pizza (tomato, cheese, basil). The salads were good. The pizza took the better part of 50 minutes to arrive at the table. It was very overcooked. Both the bottom of the crust and the top of the pizza were very close to burnt. I am pretty sure that I've eaten cardboard with more taste than that pizza. After one slice, I gave up on it. The total lunch took just under 90 minutes and the food was very memorable, just not in a good way. Would not recommend this restaurant if you are looking for good food served in a reasonable amount of time."

"This is one of our favorite go-to restaurants. It's not outrageous in price and the food and service are consistent. If you like Italian food this restaurant offers the traditional fare but also some more unique finds - the grilled calamari is delightful!"
