This place is truly outstanding. I have now had two parties here and both times have been fantastic. My guests rave about the food and service.

Warning!!! Worst restaurant food I think I’ve had ever!! The eggplant was so tough a knife would barely cut it. The soup tasted like sewer water and the lasagna seemed like it was a few months old! Inedible! And expensive! Almost $200 for 2 people! I’m seriously concerned about my health after a meal there. I don’t give bad reviews, but I think people should know what to expect if you eat there. The service was good. That’s the only positive thing I can say.

Food was awesome ... the best crab cakes I've ever had

The service was good. Prompt, attentive. The food was mediocre. Everything was made in advance and frozen, then reheated to order AND YOU CAN TELL. Everything besides the service screams lazy. The price fixe menu is lazy. The tables are wobbly plywood with tablecloths. Some dishes and glasses were dirty. Again, lazy. Price is reasonable and would be a great value if ANYTHING was fresh, but nothing was. This is the Applebees of Italian restaurants. Next time, save money and buy prepared food from Uncle G’s or Mama L’s.

The service was excellent. Appetizers were very good . The main course was alittle disappointing. As we were with a large group and several of the chicken dishes were with dry and chewy chicken. So other then that it was good.

We are long time patrons of this restaurant. Owners and management has changed over the years but the staff has stayed and true to their craft. Tonight we had a party of 16 and were treated like family. Not one missed step even with another large party and and a full house.

If you want to go to a wonderful Italian family restaurant this is exactly what you're looking for. You feel very much like you're a part of their family when they serve you.They treat you that wayWe had my mom's 80th birthday party hereWe had my dad's 80th birthday party hereAnd tonight we celebrated their 59th wedding anniversary here.They were going to close early because we were the only ones a little bit slower after the New Year's I get it. I was running late and they just stayed open and waited for me there was another couple there celebrating their 54th anniversary and they were so jovial and having laughs and hugs and the other room It was really just wonderfulPerfect day for a first date absolutelyGet the fried calamari it's fantastic It's nice and light breaded on the outside with just enough sea salt and a soft simple inside It's the way calamari should taste definitely get itMy salmon was cooked perfectlyWe had duck as well which was unbelievably It's a little rich to eat the whole thing for me but boy it's just perfect if you have some love duck it's really goodThey bought us after dinner drinks for the anniversary as well

Food was mediocre. Staff was very nice. Acoustics are terrible, very hard to hear at your table and tables are too close together.

This place is the real deal. Great food, inviting and homey feel, attentive waiter/owner. Reminds me of a small Italian restaurant in queens I used to go to with family. No need to go all the way to queens! Check this place out!
