One of my favorite Italian place around, and certinaly the most generous portion-wise. I frequently order here via doordash and they clearly take such care in preparing and packaging your food. Their Penne alla Vodka is my go-to, and it's fantastic how their dinner entrees come with a large salad and bread too. I look forward to dining in sometime with friends and/or family to show them this gem of a place. Thanks for the great food and service!

This place is welcoming and serves the best and most filling food in
Went inside and it looks gloomy and old school. However, the food was FANTASTIC. Everything was made fresh and from scratch from the bread to the pasta and the salad was super fresh! Loved this place. But it could definitely use some upgrading on the inside.

WE’LL NEVER EAT HERE!!! A rude employee opened the doors late and when asked what time do they open, he said with a smirk on his face, “I OPEN WHENEVER I FEEL LIKE IT! I’ve worked here for years and have to deal with all kinds of people.”We hadn’t said anything that would prompt these kinds of discourteous comments from a restaurant worker!WE’LL NEVER EAT HERE! (Incident occurred 8 Feb 2024, 11:12 a.m.)(We walked away and went to the Pho restaurant a few doors down. Go there - they’re respectful and the food was great!)

Will never return. Went here an hour before closing on Saturday night. Some of the waitstaff and owner and management were having a get together and consuming alcohol and being loud. That’s no problem, but then the owner (Jason or Jay) came over to our table to say hi, that’s also fine. But then Jason who was hammered and stoned became excessively loud, shouting profanities, bragging about his genitalia in front of my family. This shocked and upset the female patrons I was with. This type of behavior is extremely unprofessional. Again, I don’t mind the restaurant staff having a good time at their own table. And I don’t mind them coming up to say hi, but have some class and watch your language around customers.

Don’t be taken back that it is in Small strip mall. Family Favorite Italian restaurant for 30 years, excellent selection of truly authentic Italian dishes. Love the meat sauce and meat balls, veal piccata , and a host of other dishes! Prices are fair and bread is wonderful !! Dine in is relaxing and comfortable. Also the lasagna is wonderful, great for large group dinner carry out!

Food is mostly bland and definitely overpriced. I tried the spaghetti carbonara, and it was disgustingly bland. The tomato sauce is too sour—or something—just devoid of the thick rich taste I’m used to. The only thing I halfway liked was the salad, and it was just a simple salad with vinaigrette and oil dressing. Waitress had a bad attitude, and the Italian singing (not opera) playing over the audio system really got on my nerves.

Very nice place to have a team lunch. I had the Veal Sorrentina as the main course with the Tiramisu as the dessert, it also comes with a salad with a vinaigrette. The food was really good and it was a nice cozy environment for a group of about 15 to enjoy some time together. Our server was attentive and was able to refill our drinks promptly, get us extra bread, and got our food out in a pretty timely manner. Definitely recommend coming here for lunch as you won't normally run into the dinner rush, but you'll get the same amazing food and might even get most of the place to yourself.

Love the food. Big portions and the bread is great. Can't say enough about this place. Been going for years

The service was overall quick and good. And the food portion was very large. However, the food was below average especially given the price. The veal was tender but the pasta was way too greasy and lack of flavor.

TLDR: Trashy behavior/language from owners ruined the experience. Food was mediocre.Unfortunately, the visit started off bad. I arrived at 9pm. (They close at 10pm) I waited for roughly 5 min before a waitress even showed her face. There was only one patron eating in the entire restaurant at the time. When I told her I needed a seat for one, she literally looked at her watch right in my face. That should have been my first clue. Then she said, if you can figure out what you want fast, it'll be OK because the kitchen closes at 9:30pm. That should've been my second clue. I overheard people in the back corner table cursing loudly and acting like children. One male voice in particular was the worst. He kind of led their conversation and the others sounded like followers hanging on his every word. Sad really. I spoke to the other woman in the restaurant and commented on the language. She agreed it was pretty bad.The food was good. I got the Cappelli D'Angelo Alla Chef. The shrimp was definitely not fresh gulf Shrimp (I eat fresh from the gulf Shrimp regularly) but it was still ok. The rest of the dish was pretty good though.The house salad was pretty good. It consisted of a bed of lettuce, sliced carrots, small chunks of celery, onions, a slice of cucumber, sliced radishes (I'm pretty sure that's what they were) and Italian dressing.The bread was mediocre. It literally had zero flavor.The problem with the entire experience was that table in the back corner being very loud and cursing uncontrollably. Talking about strippers sitting on his face and other ridiculously trashy comments. I'm a Marine and I'd never speak like that in public, it's disrespectful and unprofessional. When I mentioned it to the waitress, she said "oh, that's the owners." That's even worse! So the "owners" were acting like that with patrons in the restaurant? Absolutely abhorrent behavior. I would maybe have returned based on the food, but I'm disgusted with myself currently for supporting these people. I really wish it didn't go that way. I hope they realize that kind behavior is unacceptable in a public setting, but based off their (mainly his) behavior I'm not confident.Based on this visit I'll very likely never return. If you have morals and values, you'll be better off visiting a different establishment to eat.Oh, I just found out I was also overcharged for my dinner by ~$5 vs the online menu price. Oh well, won't ever happen again.
Delicious meals
