No gluten free options. Sauces thick and full of gluten. The old Italian owner needs to get with the program it’s 2025. When I ask the manager about gluten free options he told me the old Italian owner was not into gluten free because of his age and close minded thought process. Menu is lame. Would never recommend!

I was a bit disappointed in the place. Food was kinda like eating Chef Boyardee. Service was excellent.

My family eats here often. It's an old school, American-style Italian restaurant with casual atmosphere and fantastic food. Specifically, their red sauce is far and away the best I've had. Baked spaghetti, lasagna, chicken/veal parm.... any of those choices are a no-brainer.

Went there to celebrate a birthday. It was during the week we did not have to wait long for a table there was 6 of us. Our waitress was wonderful. My daughter ordered the steak sandwich it was enough for two meals and she said it was very good. I ordered the lasagna plenty of cheese and meat sauce. My grandson who is 8 ordered the fried shrimp they did not have the shrimp so he got a pizza instead he said it was good but he really wanted the shrimp. The restraunt was very clean.

$20-30 per person is too much for average spaghetti dishes and a drink.
Food isn’t exceptional, but service is really good.

We ordered spaghetti and I was a little surprised, as it tasted like chili, instead of spaghetti sauce. And the bread wasn't garlic bread. It was good bread, but I expected garlic bread with spaghetti. The restaurant was clean and the service was great. I guess I was expecting traditional spaghetti and was disappointed with the chili powder taste.
