Everything was good. As Italian restaurants go, the menu was pretty ordinary and the food was everything you would expect but nothing special. The service was spectacular. The staff didn't miss a beat even with my special dietary needs. The atmosphere was as good as any I have seen recently.

I love this restaurant. I've never had a bad experience here. From the food to the service, it's always been great. I would put it up against any Italian food place within 100 miles and it would still beat them. Food is consistent and Chef Mic is not used!! I love taking my date their. I also door dash and they are very accommodating.

Best Italian food you will find in the area! Fageddabout those chain places, this is so much better. Great service and great food in a cozy atmosphere. And reasonably priced on top of everything else. Our first visit, but it definitely won't be our last!

The food is always good here. And the servers are nice and attentive. The chicken parmigiana is excellent. I only wish they had Fra Diavolo on the menu. 😀

Great vibe, food and service. We enjoyed the veal marsala, lobster ravioli, and a tortellini bolognese, and both little kids enjoyed the spaghetti and meatballs + a generous portion of chicken tenders. We found the wait staff to be very friendly and down to earth which was perfect. After a long drive into town. Everyone enjoyed the atmosphere. The mural was tasteful there were a lot of great touches in the decorations everywhere. The restrooms were clean. My only complaint is I didn't get a chance to try a dessert. Stop in this charming + for a family-owned small town vibe. PS. The tomato vinaigrette house dressing was great!

I'm not big on Italian food at all. Therefore I try to find a place with pizza when my family has a hankering for Italian cuisine. There pizza is out of this world and their rolls are amazing, and they have a basil tomato soup that is like no other.

Date night with my husband. Food, service and atmosphere were outstanding. The rolls are the best part! Food isn't pricey and the portions are huge.
