First time visit, I had the Raspberry chicken.... I have no words to describe the flavorful dish! It was perfectly cooked, not too sweet, the creamy filling was decadent and added a depth to the dish. The rolls were dense with a crispy crust that holds up to a healthy slather of butter, the salad with blue cheese dressing i had, tasted as if it was home made. I cannot say enough about the food and the tastefully decorated atmosphere. We have found our new go to restaurant!!!

This is pretty much the best restaurant in Lower Burrell. The owners are awesome and super nice every time I see them. Place is great the food is even better.
You won't regret ordering from them. I know I will be again and again. FYI their pizza is absolutely fantastic. Don't sleep on it.

My wife and mother-in-law went here for dinner since it had been so long since we had been out to eat together. When we arrived, we were told there was about a 30-minute wait, and we waited somewhere around 25 minutes. When we went inside to be seated, we were greeted by a cute Italian restaurant, though the whole space was a little small, and we were seated in the area to the left of the entrance. If you get the chance, definitely ask to be seated in the main dining room.
When we were seated, our server came to get our drink order right away. While waiting for our drinks, we took time to peruse the menu. They had several appetizers, all deep fried, a couple of soups, and several side and entrée salads at the beginning of the menu. None of these looked terribly appetizing, so we decided to move on to the main entrées. There is a very large pasta section featuring a “create-your-own” pasta option as well as other common Italian and Italian-American style dishes. After some consideration, I ordered the spinach ravioli with pink sauce, my wife ordered the pink pasta with chicken, and my mother-in-law ordered the Stromboli special. My wife and I both received a side salad with our orders.
The first thing to arrive was the bread plate for the table. It was hot from the oven. Though it was less like bread and more like pizza dough that had been cut into sticks, it was still good. The next to arrive was the salad. It was a little sad for a salad, consisting of mostly lettuce with a few slivers of red onions, tomatoes, and cucumbers. The Italian dressing we ordered was a house made dressing, and I could tell, because it probably wasn’t stirred before serving, as our cups consisted of mostly oil. When our food arrived we were ready to dig in. The spinach ravioli were very large, about 4 inches around each. The filling had a good spinach to cheese ratio. My wife’s pink pasta was deliciously cooked, but the chicken she ordered as a topping with it was a little bland. My mother-in-laws Stromboli was absolutely huge! It was easily the size of both pasta dishes combined. The crust was beautifully browned and crisp, and toppings inside were cooked to perfection. It was definitely the winning dish, and I plan to order one next time (as it also yielded at least a whole second meal in leftovers).
Altogether this particular experience was okay. I was underwhelmed by some of the food we were presented, but altogether, I would consider returning, if for no other reason that to try that Stromboli!

The food was good and prices were fair. But the service was disappointing. We went when it was slow, and yet the waitress rushed us the entire time. She continuously returned to the table to speed us along to the next step. At one point, she admitted she kept stopping by because she was “bored.” When our plates were still fairly full she rushed boxes on us. She didn’t even offer dessert. We sat with packed takeout boxes until we were actually ready to leave. As the place continued to be slow.
