Thank you for accommodating our large group on short notice and taking amazing care of us! The food and service was amazing!!! Highly recommend!
always have a great filet mignon, house salads are awesome, and pizza is the best I've ever had anywhere in my travels. Family favorite pizza spot since the day I was born.
Had a less than satisfactory meal yesterday. We had a 15 person party, and were told it would be a private room. Instead we were packed like sardines into a room with three other 15 person parties. The rows were so close the waiters had a hard time getting between. I haven’t been seated like this since boot camp. The noise was deafening and the $ shrimp were tough as saddle leather. NEVER AGAIN

The restaurant offers pasta that is always cooked perfectly al dente, with sauces that taste thoughtfully developed and balanced. Lemon chicken is bright and flavorful without being overpowering, and baked ziti is rich, comforting and baked to perfection with an ideal balance of cheese and sauce. Meat sauce pasta is hearty, savory and clearly made with care. Fried mushrooms are very good, and veal parmigiano arrives with a fresh side salad and house dressing. Small pizza with peppers, mushroom and cheese stays yummy and the recipe has stayed well in tact for many years. The staff is very friendly, very personable and service oriented, making the store impeccably clean and pleasant during busy lunch rush. The atmosphere is warm, inviting and has a pleasant family atmosphere with a modern touch, ideal for an upscale date night or a special occasion. While the price is not the most budget‑friendly, the quality absolutely justifies it. Recent visits note that servings can be very small and the price plus quantity feel ridiculous, making some meals a hit or miss with quality, presentation and flavor.
