Grew up here as a kid and I still love visiting this place even though I moved out of state. It always has the best pizza and gelato! Look forward to coming back for years to come with friends

Nice place and good service but the food was not very good. I got a panini that was not pressed/grilled. There was an ice cold tomato, unmelted cheese and the only thing that was warm was the lettuce. I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s one of the worst sandwiches I’ve ever had. Ate a few bites and asked server to take it back. My wife got a chicken salad wrap that was overloaded with mayo. Server was nice and atmosphere was good but food not so much.

Honestly, my review from 2015 would have been Horrible because of a bad attitude of staff. My experience fast forward to this past Friday was superb!!. Had the Eggplant sandwich with Goat cheese and Roasted Peppers!! Heavenly!! Huge portions, side of Macaroni Salad was delicious too!! Well worth EVERY penny. Can't get that price and size sandwich anymore. Pleasant surprise! Staff was pleasant even though busy....

Wow! First time here for lunch today and very pleasantly surprised! Great, friendly service and great food! I will definitely be back!

I am utterly appalled at the lack of cleanliness... Never thought I would get dirt in my sandwich lettuce. Yes I understand it grows in dirt, but I vinegar wash my lettuce at home and expect a public facility to be even better. Would think a large restaurant would throw the daily lettuce in a sink to wash. I don't want to be crunching grit in my sandwich. This clearly wasn't even rinsed. 11$+ out the window ? Not happy. Should have stuck with my homemade PB &J.

Recently my husband & I had a celebration with close friends and family here, and I can't put into words how happy we are that we did. The food, prices, service, atmosphere & owner Stefano always manage to go above and beyond expectations.

This was hands down one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. My special guy's father is friend's with the owner & we brought family visiting from Italy for dinner. This was my first time trying the food, everything was delicious, portions huge. You can order larger, family style meals several days in advance & it's BYOB (love it). I was very surprised by everything as the outside along with the name of the restaurant doesn't remotely sound like an Italian restaurant. I would definitely take the ride just to eat here again.
