We came here on a limb because we were going to have dinner somewhere else and they were out of stock of what we want so we came here on a limb and for a first time coming here the quality of the food is absolutely amazing the service is nice and also you would have never known that there was a huge restaurant in the back with a huge party room just from looking at the front of the building I started with this lentil soup and I got the zuppe di pesce and it was absolutely amazing...

The food, DELICIOUS! Don’t forget to try their sangria while you’re there. I wish they sold it by the gallon 😋. It was my first time there and I will be back. They make you feel like family!

Stopped here for a slice of pizza for lunch. I placed my order quickly and it wasn't long before I had the pizza and drink. The service was great and the staff was very helpful and friendly. I will stop here to try other items on their menu.
