Wonderful little spot. Authentic Italian at a reasonable price. All fresh, all homemade. Cannolis were amazing and I can't wait to try the tiramisou!

Went on a first date here. 10+ years later we’re married with two kids and brought them with us. Would recommend.

Food and service used to be really good, but the quality and the service has gone down a lot. The beers still good, but that’s about it.

For over 15 years, my husband and I have celebrated special moments with their jambalaya. This year, our order was accidentally lost and had to be made fresh—but we didn’t mind. Andy, the manager, handled it with such genuine care, and Patrick treated us to drinks while we waited. What could have been a hassle turned into another warm memory. Thank you!!

At lunch time the waiting time at the table can be annoying

This was one of the worst dining experiences I've had in quite some time.

The service was bad. It took almost 20 minutes before we were even able to place our order. It then took almost 30 minutes for the food to arrive after that. We had to wait an additional 10 minutes for the last member of the party to get their food.

Beyond all this, the restaurant smelled strongly of sandalwood, which was a candle that was burning to cover the smell of sewage coming out of the bathroom.

Will not be returning.

We went on a Friday evening. We were seated at a table by a window NOT in the bar area. The noise was so loud that we had to lean over the table and talk very loud in order to hear each other. There was no music playing either. We were also by a door which was ajar and would not shut. A cold draft was while we were eating and it was very unpleasant. The for was fine and the server was pleasant. The rest of the experience was poor and we will not go back there for a long time, if ever.

Always friendly and personable wait staff. Fun vibe. And consistently good food and beer. - A family favorite!

Came in with a group of friends, as we had been talking about Dogfish Head earlier in the day. It had been a while since any of us had come in, but remembered how good the food and drinks were. We ordered a few apps first being the soggiest calamari I have ever had followed by a pretzel, that came with a below average cheese dip. Ordered a medium burger for my entrée, it came out well done. They also did not have my 90 minute IPA available as I was told they stopped making it for the year, not sure how long they had been out of it. The service was ok. Overall a pretty bad experience. I may buy your beer again and drink it at home, but I will never return. To this establishment to eat. If you just want to stop somewhere for a beer and nothing else you might be OK, but if you want to grab a bite and drink, I would strongly recommend going somewhere else.

We came in to eat and had an amazing experience! Kat provided outstanding service from start to finish—she was attentive, friendly, and made us feel very welcome. The grilled wings were absolutely incredible, packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. Between the great food and Kat’s excellent service, this visit really stood out. We loved everything about our experience and will definitely be back!
