Place smells like a dirty bathroom. Small portions and staff is unfriendly. The guy Mike is a typical doo duh doo. If you're looking for good Italian food in Howard beach, go to Bruno's or Vetro. Also, if booking a party, be aware, they will take your deposit and still accept additional deposits from other customers. They will give up your room if someone else guarantees more people. Horrible business practice. No reservation is secure. It's like a reservation auction. Deposit or not, whoever guarantees more people, they get the room and you're screwed!

The food was a bit pricey for the quality.
The potato croquettes were horrible!!! The Tortellini Alfredo was pretty good. The veal marsale was tasty as well.
However, our waiter stunk of cigarettes...something one doesn't want to smell while being served food.
Question; I have never heard of an italian family style restaurant adding a 20 percent gratuity to a bill??? Especially when the check cover has a BIG STICKER THAT STATES "CASH TIPS ONLY"
Well, whoever decided to add the 20 percent screwed himself because my husband and I usually tip more than that....shame.

Place was really nice service was great food was outstanding. Somewhat small . Prices are very expensive for the average person plus they charge extra for using a credit card. Plus tip was added to the bill. Overall good place don't see going back anytime soon.
As expected, everything was excellent! Old school, as it should be! Thank you!

First off the place is so pretty, all the staff are welcoming, funny and kind especially the waiter who served my family and I (Alex). He was very patient and made the dining experience a good one. Would definitely recommend, and the food was very good. 10/10
