Old school Italian restaurant with classic menu and excellent service. We stopped for late lunch after visiting cemeteries on Good Friday. I had spaghetti with the seafood. It was absolutely delicious and a great value for the amount of seafood inside. My husband's penne a la vodka was great. My daughter enjoyed her shrimp Parmesan. Mozzarella sticks were disappointing, they tasted like frozen. The dessert experience was delightful. We picked a dessert from a tray menu, and I am telling you, that pistachio ricotta cake was out of this world! Not very sweet and so fresh. Overall, five stars. We will be back when in the area.

We went based on an IG recommendation...we were skeptical BUT he was correct ...the food was fresh and delicious...it is a hidden gem but not to their regulars...we will definitely go back and bring friends. A must try for those who want good authentic Italian food not ridiculously overpriced.

I was invited here to met an old friend, during the week. The restaurant has very limited parking in the rear, you could also park on the street. So I went inside and the place looks very aged and outdated. I was greeted immediately, the place has a nice bar at the entrance where u can eat as well. So we were seated and within minutes the water, bread and complimentary bruschetta came. Drinks to follow. So it was not busy at all , there were a few regulars. We had a shrimp cocktail which had 3 jumbo shrimps, it was ok. Then we went on to the main course I ordered the chicken parmigiana with vodka rigatoni, the sauce was good and so was the chicken , very thin and the portion very small. After dinner they offer you a complimentary drink and some fruit. This place is definitely on the OG side and seems to be a staple here in farmingdale. The place has a very easy going vibe. Not a bad place, not great. Prices are ok. I almost forgot the servers were very attentive and provided good customer service. For me it was the company that night....good to see old friends:)

Went here with 15 people, 2 being an 18 month old and an 8 year old. We ordered plain penne 1/2 order for the 18 month old and an order for the 8 year old, both plain penne. Checking over the bill I noticed I was charged $11.95 for the 1/2 order and 20.95 for the other order coming to $33 for 2 orders of plain penne for 2 children. I called to question the price but the manager wasn't there and was told he would call me back. I did not receive a call back. I called back and suppose I spoke to the manager who was very defensive and nasty when I said I was speechless over the price. They did not have a children's menu or it wasn't offered and we never thought the cost for plain penne for children would be that expensive. Dessert was brought out on a plate to order from no dessert menu with prices nor for drinks either. I was very upset and disappointed in the unprofessional attitude. We will not be going back.

Excellent restaurant top quality. Very clean and beautiful decor. The menu offers a wide selection plus the daily special. We had the Frutta de Mare and it was tremendous- one had the red sauce which was delicious and the other one had the white sauce and garlic which was equally as good. I had veal Marsala and it was mouth watering. The shrimp parmigiana was so much the person couldn’t finish it. The deserts were awesome especially the pistachio/ some form of cheese cake. The service was exceptional and you never felt rushed. You need to make reservations for Saturday night. Leonarda the server was friendly and attentive.

Delicious Italian food,everything we had was so flavorful, wonderful service. The mussels and sauce were delicious, short ribs and pasta were so flavorful, I had tartufo for dessert and they had so many other delicious options as well. I definitely recommend this restaurant for good food. The ambiance is a little tired but can be overlooked for the yummy food.

Food was average - service is not so great (can be a bit more nicer and provide menus (only said the menu and hard to hear all options, much better to look at a menu but they did not give one)
