I had the cheesesteak sub a few days ago and it was killer!! Being from Jersey, it’s difficult to find a good one around here. It was a huge sandwich and prepared perfectly. I would have taken a picture but I wolfed it down before I thought of it. I’ll be back… next time I’m getting gelato!
Everything from the food, to the service, to the atmosphere were fantastic!
Wish we lived closer to come all the time!! Julie provided the best service! The owners came to the table and made us feel like family! Food was exceptional! Went for my birthday and it truly felt llle a special evening! We had the best table too. With a lovely view! Had the calamari, bruschetta, chicken parm, linguine and calls, chicken piccata, veal, grouper, ravioli. Kids chicken and meatballs… we had a big group and everyone was more than happy with their meal!
