Great dinner tonight! The trout piccata was fantastic. I highly recommend saving room for amoretto cheesecake. ❤️
If you have trouble with basic spaghetti and meatballs, then it may be time to face the reality that this restaurant is just living off of it 80 years ago old history.
Very disappointed with a plate of angel hair, which was supposed to be regular spaghetti and two tiny meatballs that were obviously just beef and no other mixture .
Very sad by the lack of concern by waiter / front of the house.
Just in town from a cruise looking for different things to do and I passed by this place. Absolutely the best walk by ever the smell brought us in but the owners made us stay. We loved everything from the people, drinks, food but especially the cleanliness to the authentic Italian food . it’s a must try if you’re in the area 👍
