When I first arrived staff sat in me in front of the restaurant in a table for 2 people, but since there was a bigger party, the staff move to a different table & to make up for it, they got me sparkling wine 🍷 & sprite, that they didn't charge me for it.
Staff is very professional 👏 & highly recommend.
Food is so delicious, will definitely be coming back.

A terrific Italian-American joint with traditional dishes and some less conventional stuff (like linguini jambalaya), all of it good.

I like the calzones, the shrimp scampi, and especially the salmon pomodoro. The service is always wonderful.

We have one of the best Italian dishes in a long time. Every dish is fantastic. I am deeply impressed by Linguine Vongole, which has clams with shell and rich pieces clam meat. The delicious food has left a lasting fragrance on our lips and teeth since last month. Friendly staff and a unique place. Will come back!
