“Fantastic Italian restaurant!
I'm not sure if this is a family-owned Italian restaurant but it's the same nice lady every time we go there. Greeting you and seating your.
The service is friendly and they seem to know everyone that comes through the door. The food is fantastic and there's something for almost everyone.
My only complaint would be that the dining room gets very noisy and it's hard to talk, but what do you expect when you're an Italian restaurant and everyone is having a great time.“

“Great food at a great price. Theresa & the staff are great. The entertainment has come a long way. Not too loud - just right for the size of the restaurant. Tonight (8/24) the music was exceptional. Thanks for having us.“

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Food & The Best Service!

This Italian restaurant is an absolute gem! The food is delicious—full of flavor and made with love. The service is truly the best I’ve ever had—everyone is happy, welcoming, and makes you feel right at home the second you walk in.

I recommend this place to all my clients, especially for their $5.99 frozen dinners to go—they’re perfect for busy nights and just as tasty as dining in!

Ron, the owner and cook, is an incredible guy with a real passion for what he does and it shows in every dish. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out! I have to say that Ron is one generous man!!!❤️🙏 Gypsy“

“Love the food. I was disappointed that we were told we couldn’t sit in a booth. She said the booths were All reserved. We had a toddler who does so much better in a booth. I honestly considered walking out. We ate and left and only 2 parties came in and used the booth leaving approximately 95 percent of the booths open.“

“I love this place! One of my favorite restaurants in the greater Boston area. Super friendly & attentive staff, delicious food, entrees are huge portions, overall great atmosphere, and locally owned and run by an amazing family. Been at least 4x in the last 4-5months and plan to be back often to try the rest of the menu“
