This was our 1st time at this restaurant but will not be our last! Very unassuming from the outside. Food and service were amazing. Portions are huge!We had the calamari and 2 of the specials - prime pork and stuffed filet with lobster tail. No room for dessert this time. Cocktails were reasonably priced and well crafted. Thanks to Tabitha and Jill for taking care of us!

This was our second time coming here and it was just as good as the first. This a family owned restuarant and you really feel like you're family when you come here. On the busy days definitely have a reservation because it gets packed quick, but you dont feel rushed while enjoying your food. The staff is extremely attentive. The managers and owners even walk around chatting it up with guest. The homemade rolls they give you are like a soft pillow with a mild taste of garlic. They paired it with butter and an oil sauce they make. Not only is the food delicious but the portions are huge. The Chicken Marala with the mashed potoas and veggies are a must try. The veggies are steamed and well seasoned, which you really don't get anywhere. The chicken is tender and moist. The marasla sauce is rich and flavorful. Make sure you add some on the mash potatoes to make it pop even more. The appterizer we got was different but delicious. The Coconut shrimp and Shrimp spring roles. The dipping sauce they paired this with was a mild duck sauce and a spicy general tso sauce. It didn't matter which sauce you used, they both work for each one. We cant wait to come back again.

Everything perfect! The staff is very friendly, the establishment extremely clean and the food? Perfect! I advise everyone to try the meatballs, the osso bucco with risotto and the chicken parm. the best we've ever eaten.

Went for lunch today with hubby and friend. They have a very nice lunch menu, great ambiance and excellent service. I had delicious chicken Marsala, it came with mashed potatoes and broccoli and cauliflower. The serving was enormous! The others had sandwiches that came with a pickle, fries and onion strings. We were all happy with our meals and I took home leftovers. The iced tea could be better. Nice large glasses of water that I really appreciated. Sorry, I did not remember to take photos. There are photos on their website.

I met a friend there recently for appetizers and drinks we had two appetizers, and two drinks each, the drinks were good, the appetizers weren't that great the scallops were burnt and the octopus salad was tiny, the worst part of this was the bill the scallops wrapped in bacon where tiny and burnt and cost $36.00 for an appetizer and the octopus salad was smaller than a regular salad more greens than octopus and the price was $41.00, never again, attached is a copy I crossed out the cashier for her privacy and we acknowledge this is not her fault.

we sat at the bar on a slow monday night/ my husband ordered the veal milanese but instead of over pasta he asked for penne on the side with alio o (garlic & olive oil)~the bartendar said the standard "no problem" when his meal came , it was over linguini smothered in some type of lemon style sauce. when he questioned the person who placed our order he was told quite rudely that he would have gotten the veal over the pasta anyway! at least it would have been edible instead of drowned in a disgusting thick lemon sauce! i ordered a salad with grilled chicken that was iced cold! all in all a very disappointing experience! and this is a restaurant that we used to visit on a regular basis! we forgot why we stopped going!

I have to say I have been to this restaurant three or four times now and each time has been great whether it’s take out or dining in!!!! This time (1/13/24) I called around 5:30 PM to make reservations for 7:00 PM and they were able to accommodate. When I had called, the young lady I spoke with let me know that she only had a bar top available in the bar area, but would upgrade me to a table if it became available. I thought that was very nice.Fast-forward : I arrived at 7:00 PM as planned and was seated at my reserved table promptly. Shortly after my lovely guest arrived, we mutually decided that we in fact would like to sit in the bar area because it was a little more cozy. I’m not sure if it was the owner, but she quickly arranged the change and cleaned off an area for us that had recently become available and was super kind in making the switch and in fact, stated that she likes to please everyone that is a guest. We shared some laughs, and a quick exchange in words, and we were seated. All of the staff behind the bar were super accommodating and friendly. Service was prompt, and food and drink came out at a very reasonable time. The food was excellent!!!! Chicken Milanese with mashed potato and veg, and the dessert was also very good!!! We ordered the blueberry crème brûlée, which was a fantastic unexpected treat! The espresso martini was literally the best I have ever tasted!!! ….and I have ordered many! (We are Espresso Martini snobs)In all honesty, the staff treated you like family. Extremely hospitable, and it feels like you’re at your own home restaurant when dining there. This is my new favorite restaurant, and it’s close to home!! I love that!!! That is a definite win in my book. If you’re in the area, make sure you check out this place as it is difficult to find a restaurant that provides service like this, with great food to match.

First time visitors for lunch. The restaurant and staff are pleasant enough, but our food was subpar.Clams Casino: preparation was decent, but two of the five clams were off-tasting.Chicken Panini: not a panini at all — no press was used, and the roll was a meaty ciabatta. Chicken was fairly thin-sliced breast meat, with each piece grilled on both sides. Lots of chicken there, but very dried out. Roasted peppers and cheese was fine, but there was no sauce, thus it was a very dry sandwich.Onion soup: well above average, with plenty of cheese.
