Rose and Umberto are awesome! It was like the 4 of us walked in to their home and they made us dinner! Every detail was covered, the silverware, food was delicious and I came home with four loaves of fresh bread! I really can't wait to go back. They were soooo cute I want all my friends to fill their space. Eat locally and enjoy!

Let me first state that there is a lot of potential here, they are just stuck in the old ways and refuse to change with the times.I understand that a family owned and run restaurant is a big deal to that family and for their die hard customers, but I've had better food from the reheat section at the grocery store.The owner is a nice guy but if he looked at another places menu and saw what dishes are supposed to be, rather than what he thinks they should be, his clientele would be through the roof.The reason for this review is because they double charged my card and denied having done so and said I must be trying to scam free food from them. There are two people working in the building, one chef and one manager, so I stood inside for 10 minutes before anyone realized I was there. Their food is over priced and underwhelming and the attitude of the older female, Rose (I believe is her name) makes you not want to eat there since every sentence is said as if she doesn't want to be bothered taking the order.Don't eat here unless you enjoy over paying for low grade food.

Went there for lunch on a weekday. Great food! Great service! I had the chicken rinaldi and it was absolutely delicious! My husband had the veal parm and said it was outstanding! We look forward to going back!

Absolutely Delicious and I recommend this place to everyone! I’ve tried so many different Italian places but this one was so authentic and the staff was so friendly and the environment was so clean, even during COVID harassment.

Very much a true Italian restaurant. Umberto is from Calabria, Italy. Having had other restaurants, he deserves chef hats for darn good food cooked to order. The decor is quaint but most welcoming. Lunch is a bargain and dinner very reasonable.
