This little Italian restaurant was a delightful surprise. We went there because it had favorable reviews. We found out that it is under new ownership as of approximately 9 months ago, late in 2024. Carlos, one of the co-owners, greeted us, cooked our food, and checked to see that everything was all right several times. He is clearly very interested in pleasing his customers.
My husband is Italian and gives the quality of the food and the expertise of its preparation high marks. We ordered two appetizers, Caesar salad and bruschetta. The Caesar salad was delicious and big enough to share. The bruschetta had wonderful flavors, was delightfully presented on a board and the thing I like the best was that the toast was not too hard to bite into.
Finally, for our meals I had a chicken parmesan sandwich which was a reasonably large portion, and my husband had lasagna. We both enjoyed every bit.
The food is prepared while you wait, so it is not fast food at all. He makes everything from scratch.
If you go in in, prepare to relax, enjoy your food and give Carlos greetings from us!
Ps. We are not related and we live in Florida, so we won't be able to go back right away. But we were visiting the area and thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

I went by the reviews and was excited to try this place. My experience was not at all reflective of some of these reviews and I imagine some are fake reviews. This is NOT authentic Italian. Not one person of remotely Italian decent in there. It was more like a fast food joint inside. Ordered penne aka vodka. Figured no matter where you go it will be good. The sauce was nothing like a real vodka sauce. It tastes more like a tomato sauce with random seasonings in it. Tasted bitter. I threw it out and got food elsewhere. Was not going to force it down. Will not be going back

I stopped by this evening, I ordered Caesar salad, eggplant Parmesan and chicken Marsala meal. The eggplant was delicious and so was the salad. I did not try the chicken Marsala as that was for my son. I would definitely order again to try other items on the menu.

Not professional. Placed an order for pickup and when I showed up 30 min later it was not made!. These guys were laughing when I complained. Where is the owner? Who runs this place.
