I have been there for lunch recently.

I used to be a happy customer of the restaurant, in the old Champaign location. They used to have good, homey, tasty food. Nothing of that is left, the memories barely.

My girlfriend tried a vegetable salad with tuna [not a tuna salad], as per the description. Of course, we expected a (probably small) piece of freshly cooked tuna added to the salad. Instead, a couple of vegetables of debatable quality, topped with small pieces of fishy-smelling (MORE than fish is supposed to smell fishy anyway) disgusting tuna TAKEN FROM A CAN. Excuse me, a salad of EXPENSIVE RESTAURANT quality is not supposed to use 20 cents-worth ingredients.

My main dish was an EXPENSIVE seafood lasagna which, again, was one of the most execrable pieces of culinary garbage I've ever eaten in the wonderful Urbana-Champaign. Gee, an honest sandwich from Jimmy Johns is many degrees of magnitude better and healthier. The Great Impasta

This place tastes like Italian food out of the can. I do not recommend it. You may as well go to Olive Garden if you are looking for mass produced Italian food - at least it is less expensive and tastes better.

I really enjoyed Great Impasta. I had the Chicken Marsala and it was wonderful. My friend had the lasagna which looked as wonderful as it tasted. There was no skimping on the entrees either. There was plenty to eat. Prices are reasonable and has a nice downtown atmosphere.
