The parking in back is plentiful so that is a plus. The food here is well made but at least for the dishes I had, not spectacular. There was nothing wrong with the food it just was average in my opinion. The big dinner salad with fresh mozzarella was served with a yuzu vinaigrette like dressing, which was pretty good. We also had a chicken kabob and the spaghetti and meatballs. They were well cooked but I would not consider that enough for 4 stars. Wait staff did a satisfactory job. I am sure it is a fine local restaurant but not worth a special trip in my opinion.

Great place to get a slice of lasagna for lunch. There’s parking nearby and the food and service was always great.

10/10 - Hidden gem with fresh mutz and flavorful grilled chicken.I had the antipasto with olives tomato prosciutto and fresh mutz which was homemade and made me think about Hoboken NJ! I added the grilled chicken which was thin and well seasoned. The avgolemono soup to start was delish.Great service and easy parking in the back.Iced tea was perfect.I’ll be going back to try other specials and take some mutz home!

Small Italian Greek restaurant with fresh mozzarella, EVOO and Italian bread. I got the bruschetta and Gyro and it was exceptional! My husband and I lived in Europe for 3 years and this food is definitely hand crafted and some of the best European style food we’ve had in America.

Amazing!!! I have lived in the area for a long time and had never been there. I had the calamari which was delicious. The tiramisu and cannoli were amazing as well. The cannolis are made in house. ❤️

Went in for lunch and was totally disappointed with the sandwiches. The bread is so bad that it’s actually surprising that they use it and continue to sell sandwiches. The only reason I gave em a 2 is because the spanakopita is good and I know they have decent cannolis. Should be a lot less expensive at this level of quality.

A neighborhood gem! There are only a handful of tables at this low key Italian and Greek restaurant. We shared a large Manoli pizza and large super salad. Both were fabulous. The super salad had fresh romaine, carrots, cabbage, sliced tomatoes, onions (somewhat treated but I'd skip next time,) and the star, the homemade mozzarella with a zingy Italian dressing. It was refreshing and addictive. I could eat this nonstop. The Manoli pizza had a large amount of toppings: Tomato sauce, mozzarella, meatballs, pepperoni, sausage, ham, onions, red peppers, mushrooms, Kalamata olives, and basil. None of the ingredients was overly salty and it ended up quite balanced and tasty. Perfect chew and crunch to the pizza. It was great. For dessert, my family had a tartufo which had chocolate, pistachio, and strawberry ice cream surrounded by a chocolate shell. They loved it. Service is friendly. There are plenty of pre prepared meals in freezers, perfect for a home meal. Thanks Yelpers for helping us find yet another spot!

I've only had the spumoni ice cream but it was fantastic. It is very hard to find this type of ice cream anywhere and the price was very reasonable. I'll be going back even if just for the ice cream. Also there is plenty of free parking being the building

Parking: Decently sized free parking lot behind the buildingWheelchair accessibility: The front entrance is wheelchair accessible but requires going around to the front of the building and past two stores. The rear entrance is not wheelchair accessible.

Food is pretty good but the service is absolutely awful. Inattentive, unfriendly, and unapologetic for multiple mistakes they made. Basically operate like a carry out place and begrudgingly allow people to eat in. Wouldn't return.

The food was very good. We had a party of eight, which overwhelmed our server a bit. One order of food did not come until others were halfway done. It would help if they had more service to help. It was good for a family gathering and a cozy atmosphere, conveniently located for Montgomery county Travelers.

Pasta dish (pollo) was alright but the prosciutto arugula pizza was an absolute disaster. Wilted, glazed with something not on the menu, and completely not what we were expecting. Not returning :/

It's always the quiet ones that blow you away the most! Like most people, I've passed right by this unassuming place for years without giving it a second thought. Tonight though, I decided to give it a try. Probably some of the best Italian cuisine in the entire region! I ordered a salad with homemade Italian dressing, an antipasti plate, and the Shrimp & Mushroom Piccata. Everything was divine! The dressing was vibrant and bursting with flavor! The house-made mozzarella was great, and my main was superb. Looks like they do a mean to-go and frozen food business as well. Def an underrated spot for sure!
