“We had dinner there tonight for the first time and it will not be our last. Absolutely adorable back room ambiance and both the food and the service were fantastic! Bella was our waitress and she was outstanding. Patient, extremely knowledgeable and helped us explaining many menu items helping us make our selections. The food was sooooo good. Homemade cornbread to die for. I would give the truffle macaroni and cheese was a 10!!! The garlic Parmesan wings delicious and also the spinach and artichoke pizzetta. We had white sangria that was awesome as well as apple crumb pie Ala mode. Every single item was really honestly so delicious!!!! We enjoyed our experience and will definite back again!“

“I went there at one in the morning the night my daughter was born. It was Sunday night so it wasn't too crowded but given the hour it's understandable. I drank a beer and and went home. the people were nice the beer was cold and that night was 26 years ago and they are still there, open for business and standing tall. Over 26 years of being in a tough business, they must be doing something right.“

“Arguably the best restaurant in Patchogue. Every menu item I have had there has been delicious. The chicken crust pizza truly sets them apart as it is something that is not offered anywhere else. It is a menu item that I look forward to having every time I visit there.

It has a vibe unto itself as it is a great place to watch a game at the bar (happy hour is Monday to Friday 4-7 pm) or take your family to enjoy a meal at a table.

The staff there is always amicable and welcoming. The staff is yet another reason as to why I keep going back there.“

I literally ate lunch nearby and had horrible service elsewhere, saw margaritas and tried to salvage my Sunday. The atmosphere was great and I will definitely come back again, hopefully with several friends. The price of the drinks were pretty standard for the long island area, but I really enjoyed the patron margarita.“
