Pretty good food. Watch out for the lasagna, they cheap out on it and it’s mostly noodles
Layer of 2 noodles on the bottom, followed by a thin layer of meat, 7 more noodles in a stack, followed be some cheese, then more noodles on top. Everybody knows that’s not how you make real lasagna.

Food was not very good, best thing was honestly the bread and butter. I’ve also never been to a restaurant of any kind that doesn’t do free refills on soda… that’s like crazy to me and I wish the waiter would have told me that from the start otherwise I wouldn’t have ordered a soda.

The food is always excellent here. One of my favorite Italian restaurants. Been here many times. John, the owner, is always so personable and makes a point to stop and converse with you at your table. I highly recommend this place. I will definitely be back!

Ordered pizza and wings on 09/14/2025 the pizza was great done perfectly the wings were terrible. One would think that a pizza joint like this would make their own wings, however that is not what I got. These wings were store bought breaded and then just fried (the ones you get out a box) I was so disappointed.
Pizza good wings no good!!!

Great thin crust pizza.
I have only done carry out. The thin crust pizza is full of flavor.
The sausage on the pizza is excellent. Just the right amount of toppings. The crust it's crispy and has a nice flavor. The sauce is tangy and sweet.
I will return!

Haven’t been here in over 30 years, It was as delicious and wonderful as I remember!! We were greeted right away when we came through the door, Water and bread were delivered right away to our table… Very pleasant atmosphere very clean!! My dish was fabulous. I had shrimp over pasta with broccoli. I substitute the pasta for extra broccoli. It was wonderful. The portion sizes are large. My friends had lasagna, eggplant, Parmesan, and mostaccioli with red sauce. We ended our dinner With a cannoli and tiramisu again very large portion size it was really delicious and then we had shots of lemon cello a very smooth drink a nice touch to after a delicious dinner… The owner John Panvino Stop by the table and ask how everything was excellent.. The staff was very attentive the atmosphere Was very Italiano it was just a great place to be back and see how fabulous it had gotten after 30 years. This place will not disappoint. Check it out you’ll see. John, Thank you for all you do to keep your restaurant. Amazing tip top shape great staff great food. I could see why you’ve been around for a long time. Plus my girlfriend’s mother worked here 30+ years ago. Thank you we will be back!!
