It's not a Chrome in mirrors restaurant. It's a down home family place to eat it looks like you're finished basement. But the food is excellent and the service is friendly and professional. One of the things I love about it is that everybody gets a bowl of salad family style salad no matter what your order. It brings me back to my childhood. The food is well prepared and the portion is reasonable It's not exorbitant It's about what it should be. For me...

I come here every time I take my monthly casino trip to Twin River. Sometimes I eat here twice if I stay overnight. This place is amazing. The food is incredible and all scratch made. Stuffed peppers, Sausage and cheese fried squash flowers, and tripe. The prices are very reasonable with great portions. The staff is always friendly. It is beautiful inside and they have a nice outdoor seating area as well. Plenty and of parking and just outside the city. Some of the best...

Great Italian food at a reasonable price. For an appetizer, I had the stuffed red peppers. I got for halves of a small red pepper stuffed with sausage. It was enough to share with someone else. They were delicious. For my entrée, I had the pasts bolognese which was very good. For dessert, I had the bread pudding. It was an excellent way to end the meal. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family.
