We had a wonderful experience. Wayne was our server.. loved him! Fantastic service! I had the gnoccis, sauce was very reminiscent of my grandmothers... in other words, perfect. My husband had the lasagna, he loved it. The complimentary breadsticks were delicious.. the house salad was also great. Highly recommend!

Love the food and the place is always packed with people. The staff is not always up to par depending on who is working and how they are feeling but that is how it works in the service industry. The last time I ordered I just wanted to pick up 3 canolis as they are the BEST I have ever had at any restaurant or bakery but was told that I cannot do that they were too busy. So I went in to order them and again was told that I could not order anything to take out . After explaining the situation that I was told over the phone I could come in and order them they did get my food for me. $27 is a bit much for 3 canolis but they are great and I wanted them. Dining in is your best option but I would call ahead and make a reservation as it is a small place and often extremely busy.

Food was very good. Had the cod mia and a salad with homemade Italian dressing. My wife had pasta in marinara with meatballs. She liked her dish also. Brought a bottle of wine and the corkage charge was reasonable.

I really enjoy this restaurant! It is a solid Italian restaurant. Pure Italian culture. All their food is great! Their Alfredo sauce is different from most places. It is sweeter. Some in my family love it some don’t like it. Their gnocchi is delicious!The absolute best item on the menu is their tiramisu! Hands down the best I have ever had!All the wait staff have wonderful personalities! Great sense of humors and genuine concern that you are enjoying your meal!It is street parking with pay meters until 6pm. Plenty of street parking! No worries there.

My wife and I decided to try something new as it was on the way for us going to see our grandchildren. Pasta of the day was rigatoni (I had hoped for angel hair) and I had it with marinara sauce and chicken. The portions were more than just large and very tasty, not your typical marinara sauce. I’m a picky eater so I was pleasantly surprised and definitely satisfied. We’ll be back.

Cash only and BYOB. We were visiting from out of town and ventured here for dinner. We weren’t super hungry so we split an entree.What shocked us most was they upcharged us $18 for pasta (came with entree) and salad (listed as $5) but we only learned when the bill came. Somehow a $30 entree with a side salad became a $60 meal (including tip).
