Your PRICES ARE INSANITY!!! 21 bucks for just chicken and pasta with sauce. You will be closed soon with that type of attitude especially when you know the neighborhood is your biggest revenue.
Chicken marsala was delicious. Service was a bit rude. You have to order at front and pick up your plate.

Terrific fresh pasta! I only wish they offered a pesto sauce. I love their arancini too — not too heavy or fried.

Is this place under new management? It has gone way downhill. Way back, when they first opened, and the two brothers who were the founders and owners were always there it was great. Now it is just overpriced and barely mediocre. Recently had buffalo chicken strips. No breading like in the past. Hardly any sauce. Dry. Sucked. Used to be way better.

The reviews here do not match the food quality. Extremely disappointing experience, especially for the price of the food. The online ordering menu is outdated, to include the pricing. You have to go to the online webpage to see the updated menu. In the restaurant, the board does not have the prices listed. Despite having a hard time finding parking and the local appearance, we decided to give it a try, as sometimes hole-in-the-wall places can surprise you. Not this one. Honestly, the pasta tasted like store boxed pasta, and the salsa tasted like plain Ragú. The chicken parm was meh. Completely disappointed. I believe the store was bought some time ago. The store has a bunch of stickers and pictures of past awards. But clearly do not reflect current state.

They do a superrr delicious Marsala Pasta, its my favourite omg the mushrooms are caramelised and seasoned and the chicken is delicious, plus the sauce itself is beautifully made. I always ask for extra sauce. The garlic bread w cheese is meant to be eaten when dining in here (i don’t think it would be great if ordered for delivery) But in store its so so good.
