This is my yearly birthday spot! I love to sit on the patio on one of what's usually the last few warm days of the year. It's fun to watch the bocce players, the food is always good, and the servers are nice. They even heard me say it was my birthday and brought me a cheesecake, which was incredibly sweet.

The bar inside is a great, casual place to get a quick bite as well. It's rare to find a spot where you can have a nicer dinner in one room and a casual drink with friends in another one.

The music was great, but the patio service and food were not. It took over an hour, and the chicken was raw and cold when it did come.

Ordered this for the first time last night, we did the Vodka Pasta and a Sausage Pizza and oh my god.. it was delicious. The bread they give with the pasta was amazing, all tasted homemade. Will definitely order/go here again!

Food was not prepared correctly and was over cooked. I did get it replaced, but by then I was not hungry and My guess had already ate their food. Took it to go. The flavor was not Authentic Italian cuisine. Was not impressed with Your Restaurant at All.

Local favorite hangout. Spacious, remodeled dining areas. Outdoor patio often hosts lively bands and bocce ball games/leagues are popular. Great selection of Italian food offerings

There appeared to only be one waitress working the entire restaurant. She was doing her very best but not getting much help. We waited 15 minutes for drinks and bread. One of the two bus boys or the two hostesses could have brought them to our table, but they left it all to the waitress.
My youngest really liked the pizza, my meat ravioli was good, and my husband enjoyed his chicken.
I don't think I would go back and wait that long to be served again.

Parking: Most of the parking is on the side of the building. There are a few spots in the front.

Ate in, the fazool/appetizers/bread started out pretty good. Got cheese sticks and bruschetta. Heavy, but good.

Then we got several gnats/flies, made for an utterly awful experience throughout, constantly swatting. Bathrooms were even worse. Probably don't have people cleaning often enough. Or some other problem, idk.

My entree (sausage rigatoni) was good, but my brothers tasted like they drenched it in lemon. It wasn't subtle, its like they pan fried his chicken in lemonade mix.

House merlot was ok, went down easy.

Music choice was odd (playing 2020's pop at an Italian spot) but that's probably because high schoolers hang out here from the building nextdoor.

Server was overall accommodating so can't fault her at all. Manager was also checking other entrances for people, so they were waiting well.

Might not be bad for takeout or outdoors, but I cannot recommend eating indoors at all.

Really, I can't say a $40-50 dinner should be this bad. Go somewhere else for any special occasion.
