Always good, not great, but the food is good, but a bit pricey and not to busy everytime I go. Which I like as I hate waiting. View is mostly street. Some very nice flowers during the seasons. Plenty of Window light adjustable for you comfort. Wish I could have left a bigger tip, but prices are higher than normal for an outdated, old restaurant. Needs an upgrade for prices to be that high. Mostly family owned as well as workers. They do catering, though never tried it. Simple place, really no other restaurants nearby that you can sit and relax. They have surround booths, regular booths, and tables. Never been to the bar. They have one in the main restaurant area and is very small, so if they need something more they go to the bigger bar section of the restaurant. The restaurant and bar seems to be seperated, and no sign or inviting entrance inside, only sort of on the out side furthest South East door. Never been in the bar section. They have nice open signs that are older bulb white, and big. Nothing flashing which is uncomfortable for most people when relaxing and eating. Beverages are expensive, so bring your own otherwise it will drain your wallet. But a sort of private location and not busy business area, so I like things like that as will be quiet and comfortable, orher wise I would have to use my BOSE noise canceling headphones, and this place is peaceful. I don't think think they could handle a full restaurant. They seem to be stressed Greeks that argue a bit. The grandmother is highly stressed and probably because she's older and wants it the way she wants it. Stubborn, but son runs it and he's nice and hospitable, and likes to talk. Only TV is small and near the very small bar in the restaurant side, compared to other restaurants, they are short a few TV's. But they have one near the bar and another on the East Wall. So hou have to turn your body to watch and is not comfortable. It would be nice to have more TV's as that's what people are used to. A way to connect bluetooth headphones to the TV you want to watch would be great. A simple restaurant. They even have things not on the menu like the lasagne pizza. It not layers as you would think, it flavor ! So Good ! ♥

Family restaurant over 50 years old. Been going since I was 9, or so my memory tells me. Regardless, I've been going there for their wonderful food for 50 years. Do the math, I'm old. I know good food. So fid my father, Mr Roger. Pizza abd hot pastrami parmesean (not sur if it was Charlie, my Dad or Zeke that cameup withthis, but so yummy. T h e havethe best crust. They are the best traditional pizza in EastHartford, period! Parking low is wonky but other than that a must have pizza. My go to is sausage, mushrooms abd double cheese. Best sweet sausage I've ever had on a pizza. Enjoy! I have for 50 years. Eggplant parm is killer also as is the wings...I could go on but it's late snd I'm hungry, they're closed, so I'm out.

Ordered boneless wings and they were inedible. People who worked there were slow about everything. Only leaving a review because they wanted me to return the terrible food and I didnt have time.
Terrible customer service waited on the side walk for one and a half hours, driver said he knocked on door and heard dogs. I don’t own dogs gave them another 30 mins and never showed
