The food here is amazing! They cook it all from scratch so don't expet super fast food!! Like the menu says, enjoy the wait! You'll be glad you did!! I had the Seafood Alfredo and actually got shivers when I took the first bite! It was so good! The shrimp were huge and there were dozens of scallops! It is a small place at the end of a strip mall type building. They only take cash or checks but there is an ATM machine inside. And let me tell you the food is worth it! I can't wait to go back and try their Lasagna which is one of their most popular dishes. Went back again and had the Lasagna it was HUGE and also had the lemon cake with raspberry topping to go. So flavorful and delicious!

First time, first impression: a nice clean restaurant. Ordered spaghetti with meat sauce and spaghetti with meatballs. Got two huge bowls full of freshly cooked spaghetti, covered with homecooked sauce and freshly made meatballs. Ate half, took home the other half which we enjoyed even better the next day. The bread served was room temperature, not the best, but the butter was also room temperature (not hard and cold like some restaurants) and easy to spread. Bring cash, credit cards are not accepted. (They have an ATM for those who do not heed this warning!). We would come back.

In a mostly abandoned shopping mall is this small restaurant with absolutely genuine authentic Italian food ... and the best part is the ricotta Cheesecake is actually authentic...top-notch

Delicious and authentic Italian’s food, made from scratch, the waiting was so worthy. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. We are planning our next visit although we live a little bit far away, after all Italy 🇮🇹 is further away.

We went here with a group of 6 on Easter. It was absolutely amazing. We had been driving all day, the food was delicious and the servers were so friendly and accommodating. The wait time was pretty long because they cook everything there from scratch, but it was definitely worth it. They made GF pasta on request and they were super considerate of allergens. Our server was so so nice and the whole atmosphere was great. Would totally recommend.

Updated review 05/31/25. We were finally able to eat here and man was it worth it! The food is authentic, scratch, home cooked meals and cooked to order. It is a traditional italian feast. Be prepared to wait because it isn't fast food. The owner does the cooking! Music playing was traditional italian folk music. Prices are good, server was awesome. If you want an authentic Italian experience, this is your place!
I have stopped by here twice when they were supposed to be open and they were closed. I will call before I make a trip over there again.
The food was amazing, service, however, was very slow. It appeared that they were very understaffed with a cook and another person serving, answering the phone, doing dishes, and handling all the takeout orders. The poor dear seemed stressed. Inside, the atmosphere is clean and tasteful, but the view out the windows is of a rundown shopping plaza. Maybe some faux stained glass would make you feel transported out of an old shopping plaza. 🤔

Very disappointed—they closed on Sunday evening 5/4 for private party and didn’t post anywhere. Planned to visit for birthday—especially frustrating when Plattsburgh has slim pickings at 7pm Sunday

This was our first time to this restaurant. The hostess/waitress was busy talking with another customer so we had to wait to be seated. The restaurant was very chilly and my wife used her jacket to stay warm. We were informed they were out of lasagna. Our order was simple: spaghetti with meatballs and cheese manicotti. I substituted angel hair for the spaghetti pasta. The manicotti needed to be baked which took approximately 20 minutes. When the food arrived, I noticed spaghetti pasta mixed in with the angel hair with both pasta types being overcooked. The meatballs (2) were huge and difficult to slice up. In addition, they were cold in the middle and tasteless. The sauce used to cover both meals was sparse and possessed little Italian taste. It seemed to be more like chopped tomatoes in a very thin sauce. My wife’s manicotti was also cold and the individual manicottis were tough/difficult to slice up. All in all, I feel being out of one of their most reviewed menu items (lasagna) was unacceptable. The other menu items were cold, overcooked and different to cut into pieces. The overall taste also left a lot to be desired. This was our first and unfortunately last visit to this restaurant.

Fantastic! Anything you get with sauce will not disappoint. Everything is fresh daily.
