Everything was great. We were a party of 5. We had cocktails, Caesar salad, dinner, wine, dessert & cappuccino. We were in no rush and had plenty of time to talk. FYI~ there is a 3.5% charge for using a credit card.

Old school Italian! The entire team was so friendly and attentive. Plenty of vegetarian options and everything was delicious. Our daughter had the ravioli and finished the half order. My wife had the pesto spaghetti and loved it. I tried the linguini with house made sausage. It was all delicious. I had the full order and probably would have been fine with the half order it was so much food! They also brought out two kinds of bread and butter before and with the meal. The desserts all looked amazing but we had to try the profiteroles and it was amazing! We will be back to try more!

At first glance, this is a restaurant I would probably not go into. There is not a horrible reason. It just looks older and doesn't really stand out. We went there to meet friends as the location was good. When we walked in, it was packed. Everyone had reservations, and there were no tables available. The stash was so nice and accommodating. Someone canceled their reservation, and we were immediately seated. From there, it was just a lovely evening. The wait staff was super friendly and efficient. They made sure we had what we needed agile waiting for friends to arrive. The garlic cheese bread was too Live for! Everything was good. From the salad to the pesto pasta that we added shrimp to was yummy. We loved the grilled shrimp. We shared food, and they split it up for us. They also have gf pasta. There were many people who were clearly regulars and had been coming for years. The quit stag knew them by man's and greeted them with a smile. The vibe is very " semi upscale (at one time) old school, family, all are welcome, Italian proud." It's definitely a hidden gem.

The meal we had this evening on Christmas Eve was superb! We had the NY steak topped with a brandy pepper cream sauce that was delectable... along with fresh vegetables and roasted perfectly crispy potatoes. The steak was juicy and cooked to perfection med rare. Then we had the best panna cotta and profiteroles for dessert to top off this fabulous meal!!! You can always rely on the service as well! This restaurant is our secret in Tice Valley.... We've eaten here for 30'years and are never disappointed. They really take pride in their changing seasonal specials!!!

What a great "old school," family neighborhood Italian Restaurant! Great menu selection; all the favorites! Spaghetti Bolognese was delicious, as was the tiramisu! I recommend the Sangiovese from the wine menu, and ask for Paula as you server, she was cute, efficient and delightful! The crowd is mostly the over 60 set, what with the Rossmoor retirement community just up the road, but just remember, seniors always seem to know where to find a good meal at a good price!
