Tarek and Shatoo (hope typing is good) welcomed us. The food was good, lobster pasta and osso buco. The atmosphere was calm and the music was well chosen classics. We will definitely come back.

Really not great tasting food. Super disappointing. I ordered the penne Montana with a Caesar salad and my partner ordered penne alla gigi. Let me begin by saying that both our pasta was overcooked. No sauce and it was dry and very bland in taste. The Caesar salad came with burnt croutons and little to no dressing for the salad.

Now I don’t understand how you say “fresh pasta” and the pasta is clearly bought from a store and NOT fresh at all. You charge me 15.75$ for a Caesar and say that it comes with anchovies but all I got was a small packet of Caesar dressing that didn’t even cover the salad whatsoever. And also, if you’re going to advertise “anchovies” with your salad, I’d expect anchovies for a very basic Caesar salad with burnt croutons that came with a wheel of lemon. How do you expect me to squeeze a wheel of lemon ?? Very disappointing. I don’t recommend this restaurant at all.

If I could give 10/5, I would give it. We just came back after enjoying a delightful meal. In fact I had the rack of lamb and can say without hesitation that

it is the best one in town. The atmosphere was cozy and the service friendly and welcoming.

Their food is simply amazing, with great hospitality by the owner and workers there. I never ate pasta so fast in my life. You won't regret trying this place out!!!

We had some last minute people added to our group, and the place was already really busy. Every request was treated with a smile as if it was no trouble at all.
ALL of the food arrived for everyone nice and hot and at almost the same time. Very affordable and really good food, plus Bring Your Own Wine.
Other patrons were also celebrating a Birthday, and all the patrons would sing for the others too, it just added to the whole happy vibe.
Very affordable for what we ordered

Food was pretty mediocre. Pizza nothing special. Mussels were cold. Only pasta was decent. Atmosphere was bubbly on a thursday. Waitstaff overwhelmed. I guess people come for the byob.

We had our high school's 50th anniversary here and it was perfect. Very good food (both vegetarian and for meat eaters), delicious dessert and lovely servers. Thank you!

On this particular evening, we were a party of six people. They sat us in a different place where our reservation was because if we were to sit there, it would’ve been very noisy since it was near the kitchen. Therefore, we had a lovely spot. everybody enjoyed their food. The waitress Brought our food promptly. We did not have to wait too long. The food was delicious. I am including some pictures for my review.

Don't expect refined culinary expression of Italian cuisine. This is wholesome, simple, and traditional cooking. You know? Like your Mom and Aunt would serve. We had a couple of different pizzas, the salsiccia balsamico, a caesar's salad, and a few homestyle soups in minestrone and tortellini. Solid from start to finish. The restaurant has stood the test of time. It's not that spacious and tables are very small. I guess it's been there 40 years, give or take. Tarek was a great server. Bring your own wine.
