Best food and kindest people!
Stopped by during the week for a quick dinner, wife and I have found our new favorite Italian place, owner seated us and was very friendly, explained the menu and specials, we got drinks shared a pizza and a plate of Cannelloni (chef's kiss) then we had their Tiramisu, so good! Great place, can't recommend this place enough!
Always a great spot to get some delicious, hot, authentic Italian food. Thank you Joey and especially Pepe for taking care of me, as always!
