I definitely do not get here often enough. Food is consistently enjoyable. Can't go wrong with the pasta dishes or the short ribs.

It would be perfect if the other diners wouldn't stare at you because you're Hispanic.

What happened to Paisanos? Expensive drinks and not friendly. Salmon was dry. Very disappointed. Been going for years and not around the corner but not worth it anymore

Attended a repass here. I personally did not think the food was anything but ordinary. Salad served on small saucer plates. The portion of chicken francaise was child size. The marinara on the chicken parm was so thick it looked fake, like plastic. Cocktails at the bar were not consistently priced, first order $30, next order under $30; for the same drinks. Additionally, 2 Shirley Temples (soda and grenadine) for the kids was $11.08! Not impressed and quite embarrassed for the family.

My boyfriend and I did a pasta tour through north jersey and this was one of our stops it was delicious! I highly recommend for lunch or dinner. The pasta is fresh and the sauces that we tried were so flavorful!

Food and drinks very good. You can bring wine but there is a corkage fee. Atmosphere was nice and we wweren't rushed. Definitely going back. Parking is limited to the local streets.

Ok, so our server seats us against a wall by the waitress station in a near empty restaurant. And barely spoke or looked at us. Then the menu was a card to scan and view on your phone. The atmosphere was that of a cafeteria. We left and went down to Volares. Which was excellent.
This restaurant was absolutely an amazing experience! Me and my girlfriend came here to try an Italian dish, and we were not disappointed at all. Felicia was our server, and she was absolutely amazing. She introduced us to all them daily specials very thoroughly, and she answered all of our crashes impeccably. We were lucky to have her as our menu guide, and as our server for the night. My girlfriend ordered Penne chicken Parm in a vodka sauce, and she loved it. I ordered the traditional carbonara and I absolutely loved it. It was very flavorful and delicious. She checked on us every couple of minutes, and she was very professional. My overall experience is great! Highly recommend this place!!!

An excellent Negroni to start. Several yummy appetizers. Their pappardelle was absolutely superb! And deelish profiteroles for dessert. Excellent service and lovely, comfortable atmosphere. This was my first time there but will be returning for sure.
WOW! Even takeout is SUPERB. Chicken Caprese and Foresta w oil n garlic penne, how delish? We could have this everyday for our work lunch.

We have been coming here for about 3 years. The Parpadella was my favorite! I'm not sure what has changed but the noodles lacked meat sauce. Had to ask for more sauce but they only had Penne vodka sauce available. My Fiance swears by their Linguini with clams but wasn't able to finish bc it was too salty. New chef?? Something is different and not for the best.
