This was my first time dining here and I came with a party of five on a Sunday evening with some family friends. Our waitress, Antonella Mendoza was such a pleasant breath of fresh air. Her professionalism and politeness are what makes her an essential asset to your business. The food was amazing especially the brick oven pizza and the appetizers. The atmosphere was very enchanting and cozy. The outdoors was absolutely phenomenal! I would definitely recommend this place for a date night, bridal shower, baby shower, etc. Definitely ask for Antonella to be your server the next time you visit this place. Overall, the whole staff was very pleasant and welcoming. I was very impressed with the service!

It’s always a pleasure visiting family and stopping by this friendly restaurant. Diego was put waiter, and he was amazing. We had a large party (18 people), and our order was perfect. The food is amazing and I highly recommend this place.

Highly recommend against. My party of 7 went here for my mother’s birthday. We placed food order almost instantly and waited over an hour to begin getting our appetizers. The prices were also very high and the food was just ok. A 20% gratuity was also included for service that entailed having to ask for more water multiple times.

The food is out of this world! We celebrated a birthday, the food we ordered was a broccoli rabe and sausage pizza, octopus with arugula salad, seafood salad and much more. The owner walks around and greets his guests and is very welcoming. The waitress we had was very friendly and provided fast service. She was Italian I believe and was very nice, always with a smile. I felt like I was in Italy. Recommend this place to anyone.

The food was amazing, huge portions but overall the best pizza and Italian food in NJ. The services were also great. I like walking into an Italian restaurant with Italian waitresses, it goes with the atmosphere. Our waitress was the blonde one and was very friendly and checked on us at all times. The restaurant was very busy but the blonde waitress still made sure we were good with our services. Very attentive and clean. I will definitely come back again.

We were a family of four, decided to go for Sicilian food, food was very good. Unfortunately the service was unacceptable!! The only waiter that kept apologizing was not our waiter. Waited 3/4 hour to take our order and the waitress never came back to our table, we finished our meal and never clear the table. She was very dismissive and nasty. We had to get up and pay the bill. After my visit I have read other reviews where people loved the food but complained about the service. The owner needs to address this issue. I visit NJ often and love Sicilian food but unfortunately will never visit this restaurant again. As a trained chef myself, I believe great food always comes with exceptional service so people may enjoy the experience.

A friend told me about this place, he always goes and orders out. It was my first time dining in this restaurant, Honestly the food was great but the service was absolutely awful. First of all we sat there for 45 minutes before they took our order. The lady that took our order and brought the food never once came to the table to check if we needed anything else.And for that reason I will never go there again. Great dining equals great food and excellent service.

The restaurant was recommended to me by a person who lived in Sicily and touted this place highly because it is true to the Sicilian preparations and choices. The portions were humongous and the taste were onequal par. The fried calamari was freshly made and the diameter off the rings was the largest i ever seen they were actually to big to eat whole and had to be cut in half. I also had a splendid Bucatini Con Sarde(Pasta with fresh sardines, wild fennel and pignoli nuts) Once again a huge portion. It is a BYO restaurant and we brought a phenomenal bottle of wine to accompany the meal which heightened the experience even more. My only complaints with the restaurant was NO WATER….they forced you to buy water, I never saw that before. Also the restaurant is not inexpensive and to give you chintzy paper napkins is insulting.

We went for the first time tonight, we didn’t know you needed a reservation. We got a table, which we appreciated. Waitress was nice. We ordered appetizers and our dinners at the same time. Three times asked for bread, appetizers came, forgot one of them. As soon as we started eating our appetizer. Bread and dinners came. Way rushed. Felt like they wanted us done and get us out. No one was waiting. I never felt so rushed. We went on the recommendation of other people
