I had a very negative experience with the ownership, who were rude and unprofessional throughout. Based on this treatment, I will not be returning and cannot recommend this place to others.

Do not go to this restaurant. The service is absolutely horrendous and the owner is even worse. We hosted a year-end event for a local non-profit and the owner/staff were incredibly rude at every step of the process from planning to the day of the event. Despite multiple attempts to have a conversation about dinner logistics, the owner refused to discuss anything with us. We said multiple times that we are a non-profit and would be paying by check, however on the night of we were forced to not only pay by credit card, but they tacked on a service fee. We will never go back to this joke of a restaurant.

I was there for our bowling league end of season party. The food was very good and I left with a full, happy tummy.

don’t usually leave reviews, but this place earned it—in the worst way. From the moment we walked in, it was downhill. We waited nearly 20 minutes before anyone even acknowledged us, and when they finally did, the server seemed like we were bothering her just by existing.
The food? Absolutely disappointing. What was supposed to be a “signature dish” tasted like it came from a microwave dinner box. Everything was either bland, cold, or both. Not to mention, one of the glasses still had lipstick on it—yikes.
We tried to give them a chance, but even the manager seemed indifferent when we politely brought up the issues. No apology, no solution, just a shrug.
Save your money and your stomach. There are better options literally anywhere else.

Food was delicious and service was excellent and friendly. I attended a birthday party at the restaurant and the chef came out to our table to ask if we were enjoying the food. I highly recommend.
Parking: Parking available on the side and in back of the building.

I love the classic decore of an old vintage restaurant. Place was not very busy, so the weight staff was excellent. I don’t understand how this is 4.3 stars. Definitely deserves better. I got the eggplant Parmesan and it blew me out of the water. Absolutely the best eggplant Parmesan I’ve ever had. I’m not even an Italian food guy, but I’m definitely coming back to visit my sister for this joint. Highly recommend this place very good. Oh, and I forgot to mention the great bread.

We were a party of five. The waiter was standing on my left taking our order. It was my turn to order but before I had a chance to turn my head towards him he tapped on my left shoulder. Like two or three taps to get my attention. That’s never happened to me in a restaurant by a waiter. I just didn’t like that. That was rude. But the food was great. We’ve been here several times already and loved everything. But last night I got the special: Linguini with clams mussels and shrimp. The seasoning was spot on and the pasta was cooked perfectly. But the mussels were sooo tiny. The shell size was fine but the meat inside were almost nonexistent to maybe half and inch. The clams were good. The shrimps were small and overcooked. Several appetizers we ordered were all delicious.

Dinner for 4 on a Friday night, so perfect. We had a corner round table, which I really love and such delicious food. Started with a mango salad with goat cheese, and a mozzarella tomato and red pepper app. The service was friendly and professional. Many nice dinner specials were offered. Our dinners were great and a plentiful amount for the price. Dessert was also so nice, and many to choose from.
This was one of our go-to places for years, and we are back!
We were all very happy with our food, the last table out, and we didn't feel rushed. Thank you!
