The portions are phenomenal. I had the gnocchi carbonara, the sauce was a bit bland however it was not bad at all. The others in my party enjoyed the lasagna and raved over it.

Although I always love the food and come here quite often, this time my waitress Yessica thought her phone was more important than her customers. Every time I wanted a drink refill, I looked for her and she was on her phone. My family and I felt like we were a bother not a dinner guest. It's a shame that such a nice establishment has employees that bring their score down and pains me to even give a lower score but my visit was less than enjoyable.

Good food but the credit card fee is a real turn off. I don’t mind paying extra as long as the food is good but credit card fees are part of doing business. I always think business owners are hiding something when they force you to pay cash to avoid “Fees”. Won’t be going back.

We had a lunch for the office here. Very good food. It was hot, seasoned well, and served relatively quickly,. I ordered the lunch special chicken cheese steak. The size is the only low mark I would give. If the sandwich was bigger, it would be a five star outing. Overall, I would return and recommend you to go.

BEST Italian food in Dover, Delaware hands down! We are originally from NY and moving out to another state we find it extremely hard to get great Italian food. This place right here... ON POINT! Extremely friendly, place is spotless clean and the portions are plentiful! Give there Heroes a try all 3 are amazing, Chicken Parmesan, Meatball Parmesan & the Sausage Parmesan ...DELICIOUS! We had Marilyn as a waitress and must say, she definitely takes care of you. Not once did we ask for a refill, she continuously refills them, very attentive and knows her job & is great at it. We did lunch & dinner here, they book up fast so if planning to dine in, make reservations this place is not big large enough to accommodate everyone trying to be seated. Took my husband here to celebrate Father's day (day before) we ordered the Marisa, pasta with seafood, to die for! Will make this our #1 spot when we are out here visiting our family. OH...there Marinara sauce with fried calamari is made to perfection.. Hats off to the owner & chef and all that works in this establishment!

Here is another hidden gem. What an awesome wait staff. It's up there with some of the best Italian food we ever had. They give you so much to eat so you have dinner for the next day. Go and enjoy.

My husband and i and all our friends love this place. We come here multiple times a month, and the waiters always remember the order! Customer service is the best here! I recommend it to everyone!

Michelle our server and Cindy our bartender were excellent! The red sauce was exceptional. I highly recommend the food and the service here - you will not be disappointed. Rock on.

We had a family gathering of about 14; they set us up "in the vault" (it is a former bank). Nice and private for our "rowdy bunch". Food was very good, a little on pricey side, but very good quality. Waitstaff was great, Manager/owner also checked on us several times. Definitely going back.

We had lunch and ordered a Large Pizza to go. The box seemed small so I asked the waitress if that was a large pizza. I was told yes. At home I opened the box and realized that they squeezed a large pizza into a medium box.

Food is outstanding. Had a late lunch. Main course to dessert was excellent. This is a great eatery. Calling it a Pizzeria understates what this is.

The food was great! Recommend new boxes or placing some sort of parchment paper under the food when boxed up. Grease was leaking everywhere on way home. Other than that I loved it here!

Do you like canned tomato sauce and bland chicken ? Then this is the place for you! Kitschy “Italian” music is blaring in the background while you try and swallow food that a first year culinary student could do better at. They need a new cook, to purchase better quality products and to bring the prices down a bit. If the business is expensive to run, then maybe rent is an issue. It’s an old bank converted into a restaurant and I’m guessing the front of lot location comes with a pretty price every month. Wanted to like it but I don’t.

Can't begin to express the love for this place. The food is worthy of the rating plus an extra 2. My wife had the lasagna & couldn't stop raving about it. I had the Chicken Saltimboca simply the best marsala sauce ever. Believe me I've had Italian all up & down the 13 colonies. This is a gem of a place we'll worth the 40 miles we drove to eat here. Asked if the chef was available for a hug. Told it was the owner who prepared our excellent meal. Audrey our waitress was a fantastic server with a better then fantastic attitude.

My family enjoys coming here. The atmosphere and food are better than most. The dishes are a little more expensive than a typical for the area but they taste good. Dinner for my family of 4 can easily be $80-100. A large pizza, sodas and one entree was over $60. They seem well staffed despite signs to the contrary. Be aware that they charge a 4% surcharge on top of the bill for using a 'credit' card even if it's debit which is annoying and misleading.
