Okay so unfortunately I was there because of a funeral. But the food was beyond delicious!! I asked what Olive 🫒 oil they used because it was so delicious and the server brought it out to me and said do you want to take a picture to remember, I love that . Then I ate a stuffed mushroom which I usually don't but it was omg delicious he told me what was in it , sausage and mozzarella,which I've never had usually just bread crumbs, best stuffed mushroom I've ever had anywhere.. Everything was delicious wasn't one thing that wasn't fantastic!! I live in Long Island or I'd be there at least once a week!! I eat at a lot of Italian restaurants this one definitely tops them all! I'll definitely be back!

The food was delicious. The atmosphere was very inviting. The service was excellent, the staff were very nice. Ridley went above and beyond to make our dining experience enjoyable. We started with the baked clams, crispy artichokes, & mozzarella en carrozza. Next we had the chicken parm with homemade pasta. We finished our meal with fresh cheesecake and tiramisu. The food was great and the portions were huge. We had a really nice time and will definitely come back.

The food is amazing! Love this place, and every dish I've tried is so flavorful. I love the garlic, basil, and fresh parsley! I can't wait to go back!!
I decided on the filet mignon & gnocchi 😘🤌🏾 It was perfection. Spot-on medium steak & tender gnocchi in a delicious vodka sauce. Our server was attentive & informative--he let us know about the specials before I had a chance to ask. My dad got the beet salad (surprisingly big portion) which he enjoyed as well.
Even if you're stuffed to the brim & can't even THINK about another bite of food.... GET THE BREAD PUDDING!!! Take it home like I did, & prepare to be kicked in the face with omg yumminess, then pig out in the privacy of your own home 😆
The atmosphere was pretty casual... everyone seated at the bar seemed to be regulars, chatting up the bartender.
I will say that I only wish I had a jacket as it was the ACssss (3... I think) were blasting! All seemingly pointed at the dining area though. There were only about 2 or 3 other tables seated at the time, so we felt every bit of the cold air. It was mid July, so were dressed for the weather. Take a cardigan or something to combat the chill, & you'll be fine.

Old school Italian. I’ve been here plenty of times, always good. The one problem I consistently run into is that there’s so much food and I’ve already eaten so much bread (dip it into stuffed mushroom sauce and in the mussels fra diavolo sauce) that I can’t finish, and that’s saying something for me (trust me. Idk how I’m not 400 pounds). Everything serves two. Everything. The mussels app is a meal itself. Additionally, the staff is always friendly. My dad (it’s loud and he has a hearing aid) needed a special repeated 5 times and there was no issue. I’ve been here between 6-8 times now and it’s the place I picked for a bday dinner (it passed. Do not sing me happy bday, ever).

A friend of mine and i went here to have a early dinner on Saturday night. The hostess was friendly sat us right away asked if we had a reservation we did not. I do suggest if you go later in the evening to make one. Wait staff was very attentive to anything or everything that we needed. We ordered baked clams (12) kind of small but good they need more of something like a spice i don't know. Our entrees were broccoli rabe with sausage and pasta, i ordered eggplant parm (no pasta) it was an extra 6.00 it was good large portion. I did ask to take the leftover home and the wait staff forgot to pack it and never give it to me. We did order a cheesecake that came with lemon zest on the plate and on the cake it was alright, and i ordered a cappuccino (which was not very hot) Spent over 100.00 (not including tip). Honestly the food was kind of bland nothing really to brag about.
