The food is delicious!! Homemade Italian dishes and pastas served by gracious professionals. Very affordable and a worthwhile visit. Ida and Henry always take great care of us and the experience has a home-like feeling.

Had a small birthday party there for 18 people. It was wonderful! Holly and Joan were terrific host/servers, Anna was great clearing plates and keeping bread baskets full, and Mark just best bartender around!!
As guests started to arrive they were directed to our tables with pizza waiting for them and immediate bar service. Food was plentiful , enjoyed and praised by all with many leaving with “doggy bags”!
Excellent value!
