Horrible food, lousy attitude by owner.Ordered Chicken Parm, the fresh pasta side was almost raw. The breaded chicken cultlet was fried in the same burned frymax we smelled walking into the place. The mozzarella was barley melted. My wife's veal scallopin dish was cold and unbeatable. We did not eat either dinner.We asked asked for our check and we're given a check for $75.As we left, I saw the owner at the front entrance and said you have a lot of nerve charging us for these meals we did not eat. As we left, he laughed?So as promised, I promised him I would write a review, so here you are.Clearly a person struggling in the restaurant business who is taking his financial issues out on the food he serves his customers.Buyer be ware!

You are doing yourself a tremendous disservice if you haven't been here. It's terrific! I went for the first time two months ago and have been back five times since. It's a top quality restaurant, the salads, the pizzas and the rest of the menu are all delicious. The service is great too. You won't be disappointed!!

This was my first time and I'd been told it was a great place for pizza but the other items on the menu were not so good and that's true. The pizza was good but the chicken parmigiana with pasta was mediocre at best. We brought wine and were never offered wine glasses only short water glasses. I'd go back for sure but only for pizza.

Good, but Not what it used to be. Octopus has gotten tough- used to be wonderful. Owner is great. The wondering old man can get annoying.

My ONLY gripe with this place is that they are not flexible at all with doing any substitutions (and they do say it on their menu). They do offer gluten free pizza and pasta option - otherwise, if you have any other requests, forget it. (For example, my husband doesn't like onions, but they wouldn't accommodate. Another guest didn't like a specific veggie, but they wouldn't exclude from that dish). Supposedly it's to keep the kitchen working effectively, but was a little annoyance. Otherwise, this place is great! (and it's also BYO). I came here June 2021 to celebrate a 40th anniversary dinner. We had a few adults and a couple of toddlers and had a great night out! We ordered a lot of items off their menu. The highlights are: - Grilled Octopus Starter (2 large tentacles, cooked to PERFECTION) - Ricotta Polpette (2 LARGE Meatballs). This could honestly just be a meal. - Fried Calamari. Always a fan favorite. - Spicy Linguini topped with seafood - Fettucine Alfredo (this was a special for the day) - Veal Scallopini Things we ordered that were good, but I would def. try other options next time:) - Fire Roased Salad. The salad portions are great! Definitely a meal. But, I didn't love THIS salad. I felt it lacked flavor. - We ordered the margherita and Circolo pizzas, which in hindsight were pretty identical. Both were fine but next time i'd order a different pizza! The place itself is nice. Definitely family-friendly (they were able to seat us in a little enclave off the main dining room) and not too fancy (no white tableclothes here!). But, it also works for a nice romantic night out. Will come again and manga!

Came in because I was feeling Italian- but didn’t know what exactly. I walked in and was promptly seated. There was a birthday happening on an alcoved part of the restaurant, but besides that, it wasn’t too busy. It has a real welcoming environment. You’re able to see into the kitchen, which has a real brick/stone oven for pizzas. Super neat.My waiter was covering me and the birthday party, and I don’t think I was a priority. I had a pretty nice wait between getting water——then she told me the specials and left, without asking if I was ready to order. So another wait. But then she came back and I ordered the spicy seafood pasta. It wasn’t spicy. It tasted like the seafood just had old bay sprinkled lightly on it. No hate to old bay, just wasn’t the spicy I was wanting. The seafood in it was cooked well though, the shrimp was like perfect, not tough. And the mussels and clams- yum. The entree filled me up so I wasn’t up for dessert, but their line up + it said they were made in house made me wish I wasn’t that full.
When visiting family we frequently eat here. The place is really cute inside (during the pandemic we only do outdoors or takeout). The food is authentic Italian and has been consistently good. The staff is helpful and takes the proper COVID-19 precautions. We'll definitely continue to frequent this restaurant and I highly recommend it to anyone.

We took a ride to get take out to try this place after hearing great things. We had margherita pizza, cavatelli pasta w/mushrooms and pesto which was so delicious, and since the cheesecake we ordered was sold out, they gave us perfect tiramisu and the best chocolate cake we've ever had. The texture and taste of the dough of the pizza was so much better than other places and the pasta tasted homemade and was just incredibly tasty, we couldn't stop eating it. Definitely taking another trip.
