What a find! So delicious. So many choices. I had a wonderful tasting and large calamari steak with the best polenta I've ever had, with Al dente vegetables to round out my dinner. Wife had shells with chicken and broccoli, sun dried tomatoes and a creamy garlic and chicken sauce. Grand daughter had a huge linguine and frutti de Mari. After incredible fresh & zinging minestrone soup and spinach with pears salad. Everything says we will return to try more of their marvelous menu items. And so affordable with many choices less than $20!!!

I've been here a few times but this particular evening was not good.Greeted and seated immediately as it was not busy. The server brought over your customary bread and dip.The bread was not warm and the pesto tasted like it came out of a jar.Proceeded to order a crostini topped with a tomato basil. Tomatoes was not tasting fresh and the toast I will call was too hard like it was picked out of a basket that was sitting there all day.Will stop here. Seems like the whole meal was already made already just sitting there to be microwaved!Like I said..I've been here before and that experience was why I came back.Never again..Flat and boring!!

Quiet, intimate setting. The staff are awesome and the food is delicious. There is a wide variety of Italian cuisine on the menu. There is also a back room that would be great for a larger party. Would definitely recommend!

I sometimes come here with my colleagues since our office is so close but I always forget to leave a review. So here is a long overdue one. It is Italian food. It's good Italian food. Everything here is delicious. The calamari is tender, not chewy. Salads are light and not over-dressed. Pasta is rich and filling without being heavy. Sometimes there is only 1 peraon in front of house, so be patient. But they always do their best and the food is worth the wait. Bathroom is clean. Parking is in the ahopping center so easy. There is a reason it's one of the go-to places for my colleagues and me.

Placed a large order for food to go. We ordered, penne vodka, chicken piccata, shrimp fettuccini with red sauce, clam linguini with red sauce, chicken fettuccine with alfredo sauce and garlic bread. The chicken piccata was flavorful but when I took a bite of the pasta, there was zero sauce on it. This dish came with vegetables that were cooked perfectly. The meals come with bread and a garlic spread, so keep that in mind as I ordered 2 sides of garlic bread and honestly with the large serving sizes of pasta and bread, it was a carb overload. The serving sizes were huge and the wait time for our to go order was only 30 minutes. This location is rather convenient to my parent's house and I have dined in a few times with them. I have never been disappointed and know I will be dining there again in the future. Thank you for the fabulous meal and great service. See you again soon.
