We had an awesome experience last evening. The service was outstanding. Carlos was absolutely amazing. The meatballs are always unforgettable and the pasta was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend.

I came here for lunch with a friend, as we were looking for a nice place to eat. We noticed they had a decent lunch menu and decided to go in. We ordered a salad and a pasta to share, and I would say we had a pretty good experience. The salad was really good and had huge quantities. The pasta, however, lacked in flavor and depth. I would reccomend the salad but skip the pasta. The overall service and great, and was a good place to eat lunch.

The service was fantastic! The garlic bread, penne pasta, Zucchini and Eggplant, Chicken Parm dishes were delicious! At 4:30 pm on a Saturday, they were already out of the Rockfish entree. The meatballs were very mediocre. Not like Nonna's! We will definitely go back and, hopefully, get to try the Rockfish and other delicious dishes.
