This is a true classic. The staff is great. The atmosphere is perfect. The food is good. They really decked the place out for Christmas. The early bird special is clearly a hit. The place gets very full between 5 and 6:30. I had the fried chicken spacial with fries and soup. It's a great deal. The white meat wasn't super dry, which can be a problem some places. I'm happy to go every time.

The manicotti Parmesan was excellent here the Manhattan was amazing. This place is a real local gem. I’d give it six stars if I could.

Place was recommended by a friend - sadly I wholeheartedly would NOT recommend this place to anyone.
I am not a picky eater nor am I a picky diner or cheapskate. This was a HORRIBLE experience. I don't know how this place is still in business. Almost laughable how bad this place is.
Upon entry it smells like urine / nursing home. No exaggeration. I thought perhaps it was a patron, nope..the smell extended into the regular dining area and persisted, disgusting.
Seats in booths are collapsed in with no cushion remaining.
Knife provided was excessively dirty - seemingly washed yet still covered in caked on food from a previous diner - impossible to miss. Gross.
The service was horrible, not rude, but slow to the point it was almost intentional (it was not busy nor were we in a rush). Finished app plates never cleared. New incoming dishes placed on top of them. Lack of side plates for all diners. Simple things totally disregarded.
We were never served our salads that were to accompany our meal.
The food itself was mediocre at best. Sauce average. Pasta below average. I expected a lot more from an establishment that claims to be in its fourth generation. Owners if you read this, shame on you for letting a multigenerational family business get to this point. The conditions themselves are inexcusable.
Overall was a combination of dirty, smelly, poor service and mediocre food quality led me to write this review immediately upon returning home.
Perhaps we had a poor server but that does not fix all the rest listed here.
I appreciate a “dive” but there is zero draw here.
Stay away, you will be disappointed. Will never be back.

Good service. Thursday prime ribs are a good deal. Comes with sides. The au jus is a little on the saltier side. The ny sirloin steak however was atrocious. Overdone even when it was supposed to be medium rare. Stringy and not tender. Not sure if it was just too busy. Definitely come here for some good deals tho.
Great throwback Italian place. I miss places like this. Food is out of this world too.

This is a classic old-school restaurant. Unwittingly got there for their early bird. Great food and service, crazy-good prices.
Delicious and friendly family Italian restaurant! We eat here every time we are in town and we are remembered and welcomed by their staff. It’s not fancy but that’s what we love about it. Great food at a fair price with good service. Early bird dinner and lunch specials are good deals too.

Neighborhood, area, and local favorite restaurant. We are regulars on SAT and my Mom is known as Grammah! Love the great foods especially the grilled pork chops. All the staff are wonderful. BUT! The FRI/SAT night blackboard special is prime rib. That's on my wish list ... coming soon.

I just did a review for Greg‘s. Maybe that was a different Greg‘s but the food here is phenomenal. Love the scallops. The prime rib is really good. The spumoni ice cream with a little bit of cream on top and the raspberry sauce on top. Oh my God with a cup of coffee it’s divineAnthony from Massachusetts also Boston actor type cast as a police officer. I’m in the movie Patriots’ Day Chappaquiddick city on a hill Castle rock and also secrets exposed on lifetime nice to meet you all. Come in and check out Greg’s.

No frills atmosphere with great service and food!
Lots of menu options and reasonably priced! The shrimp scampi with broccoli was very good and I asked for 1/2 if the butter, no issue. Good amount of shrimp too!
We were very happy with the Italian lemon cream cake the we shared. Not overly lemon flavored. Light and airy too. Definitely worth the splurge!

Hidden Gem! A small little joint serving up some delicious dishes at an incredibly reasonable price. It has so much charm and such a warm friendly atmosphere that seems to be lost on a lot of the newer dining establishments. So glad I finally stopped in, I will definitely be here regularly.
