Place very nice but recently the prices practically doubled - or even tripled. Not sure why it got so expensive.

This used to be Sals. They changed hands and remodeled. It was my favorite restaurant for over a decade, and continued to be under its new name - Until last night (3/8/24). Normally I order a plain cheese pizza, glass of wine, and spaghetti. Normally comes up to around $35. Last night the same order was $88. What the heck happened? I HOPE this was a mistake. I spoke with the server and was told those were the new prices. If so, you just lost a customer :(

Was super excited to try this place. Went here to celebrate my husband's birthday. He really wanted the table side cheese wheel pasta. From the moment we walked in our experience was very weird. The restaurant was completely dead on a Friday night. The server was not friendly at all and didn't say more than 5 words to us. We both ordered the cheese wheel pasta that says served in the wheel of cheese table side is not what we got. It came out in a tiny bowl from the kitchen and we never got the cheese wheel presentation. I went to ask the server and he brought over a cheese grater that didn't work. They never checked in on us to see how our food was until I flagged him over because there was bacon all over my pasta. I questioned the bacon as the menu doesn't say anything about it. He just confirmed with the kitchen it was bacon and went on his way. We were very disappointed to say the least and the food is sub par. I would not recommend to anyone and we will definitely not be back. I don't see this place being in business very long if they continue on like this.

When I tell you I am APPALLED at the fact that this restaurant has 4.8 stars on yelp. My family and I ordered from this restaurant tonight for the first time - we ordered a Margherita pizza, the gnocchi, orecchiette, calamari and zucchini, 2 cannolis, and 2 zeppole. They forgot to add the calamari and zucchini, which I honestly wish I didn't drive back to get. It was edible, which I appreciate, as other items from this order did lack this key detail. The pizza was good, not amazing. I couldn't finish the slice as I was slapped with a pocket oregano. The gnocchi and orecchiette were probably the only good things we ate tonight. And now to the best part - dessert. I always need something sweet so I find myself well versed in the dessert department. Being Italian myself, I am embarrassed to have called that a cannoli. Why was it sour? Where was that coming from. And the icing on the tip-pity top of this monstrosity of an establishment, are the zeppole. I think I'd like to let the pictures speak for themselves, as you can clearly see the RAW dough. The only part of the zeppole that was cooked was the exterior. Both orders were in the exact same state. Enjoy the pictures!

Ordered $77 worth of food online at 8pm. Food never showed up. No call, no show. Now working with their "preferred app" to get my money back while we drive to Mc Donald's for something to eat.

Nice "family" type of neighborhood restaurant with tasty "authentic" style entrees with good, unique flavors at very reasonable prices. Background music playing could be a little more upbeat. Had the flavorful homemade Fettucine Parmesan Wheel, and Chicken Parm. Both were tasty. Service was good. Would recommend.

What a nice surprise. Our first time there...after hearing about it from friends. Had the fresh pasta in Parmesan Wheel and Chicken Scaloppine. Both were excellent. Not oversized...but excellent. Also shared a triple mousse cake which was delicious. Lastly, Mosh our server, couldn't be nicer. Will be back!

We have been several times over the past few weeks and each time it is a delight. Well parmesan pasta is the best I have eaten in Florida. I highly recommend this restaurant with these new owners. Well done

This place is the perfect family restaurant. My husband fell in love with the black garlic pizza with bacon & mushrooms!I had the lasagna and it was authentically tasty. Otto was super nice and accommodating. He even let us sample the black garlic. Valerie's chocolate cake was perfect for dessert - not too milk chocolaty not too dark chocolaty - perfect. Mochi was delightful.If you haven't tried this place your missing out.

Wanted to gavean early Valentine's Day Dinner and found this hidden gem. The food was absolutely delicious. Love the atmosphere, very warm and comfortable. The service was amazing. While we were there a group of 12 walked in without calling ahead. Otto the manager just completely handled the rush. Otto is extremely friendly yet very professional. Thank you so much to Otto, Mosses our waiter and the kitchen staff for making our evening special and memorable. Will be back for sure. Next time we want to try the amazing looking homemade desserts that they now have.
