I think the reviews are a little too generous. The food is just okay. I’ve been here for family funerals, and also to eat casually. The red sauce is very watery and bland. The portions are nice. But even the personal pizzas taste like a step above a chain restaurant like Applebees. I think a lot of their business comes from people who haven’t had good Italian food.
Also when we went last time we used a gift card. The waitress didn’t give us any receipt after we used the GC. Instead she wrote the amount of back of the gift card that was left. I wasn’t born yesteday. Im almost certain that she did that so we couldn’t tip from the gift card. I left cash anyways but wanted to say something to the manager. Just not a good look. But I decided not to because it wasn’t worth arguing over. Not horrendous but there are much better Italian places. The inside is nice though

Nice place to stop in and have a meal with family, a friend or that special someone. My wife and I enjoyed a late afternoon meal that started with a salad and bread that our waiter brought us who was very nice. Our main courses were very good and it was a large portion no less. There is plenty of free parking in the rear of the restaurant and by the way you will only be able to get in to the restaurant that way. So if you like ITALIAN food give this place a try.

This was my go to place. Lately not happy with bread , certain dishes not like before.
I will continue going there out of loyalty and I hope it improves. Ps glass of wine 17.00 seems steep.

Went there Sunday, 17.00 for a glass of house wine. Crazy.
Italian bread was old . They charged me 5.00 for using my credit card. It’s no longer the nice place I used to visit. My Veal parm was burnt and not up to par. Will put this restaurant on my back burners.

That is a bug on the table. That was gross. Fell from the ceiling. I didn't eat.
Best veal ever (per my picky friend). Spaghetti w Clams - delicious (tho too much pasta). Bread was pretty, but unimpressive. Good service. Always make reservations.

Everything here is delicious. Try their pizza, you won't be disappointed.
Great service. Food was good.
They accommodated us last minute on Mother's Day for a late lunch. It was much appreciated!
Came to celebrate one of the coworkers. The food was fresh and delicious. Decent wine as well. Dessert was the best. Cannoli were to die for!
If the pizza is black /burnt, smells burnt and tastes burnt it's burnt! Not according to our waitress. Thar's the way brick oven pizza is cooked. There was no reason to rush because we were the only table in the restaurant. Bad call by the waitress!
