The food was good second time there but the cook maybe owner at 9 pm told us to leave because they wanted to go home!! WAs three of us and left a good tip after that he said go home !! We will never go back staff was friendly but the Italian guy cook owner whatever rude it’s like I have your money now leave we didn’t even finish our wine. Supposed to be open till 9:30 oh well customer service is keeping business open, not this one!!

This restaurant was absolutely wonderful!! My first time having chicken Florentine, my new favorite! flavorful!! Waitress was a sweetheart. If you looking for a great Italian restaurant, look no further.

10/10 Delicious food and friendly attentive wait staff. I had scungilli salad and veal bolognese. I have never tried either of those before but they were amazing. So much flavor!! It's too bad I am only visiting on business because I would definitely become a regular.

Wonderful meal with great fresh crunchy bread. The Chicken parm and pizza was great. Just an outstanding experience including the wait staff.

Great food served here enough said

Good was excellent and service was exceptional

The place has excellent food. The customers are older. I was 60 and was the youngest one there. Prices are average to high for amount of food you get. I like that you can go there and enjoy conversation with your companion without some loud obnoxious music to compete with. They serve the food fast so you are in and out in no time. The chicken marsala with rice was very good. I had a pork chop with fried potatoes another time and the chop was tough and hard to cut. It tasted ok but I would not get that again. My friend had shrimp and scallops on a bed of risotto that was most excellent. See pics below. I am looking forward to my next visit. Want to try something new. I recommend it. Just don't order the chops. Wish they had larger portions.

Food was excellent. Thought we waited just a little bit too long for entrees.Otherwise all was good

Great little Italian Place. Food is authentic and really good!

Is this place even open at all or have they gone out of business? I drove over tonight (Friday) before 8:00 p.m. and it was closed... Lights out. Their online hours say they close at 9:30 p.m. I moved into the immediate area just over two years ago and I have yet to be able to successfully order from them. On two separate other occasions, I called before heading over to check and see if they were open and they said yes. I told them I'd call in about 15 minutes to place an order and would then go by and pick it up. When I called to place the order and was headed over to the restaurant, I was told the kitchen was just shut down and they wouldn't take my order. This was about an hour and a half before their scheduled closing time. My mom used to say, "Those who have a business must tend to it or simply just close it". I know they have been around for a long time, so maybe it's time to retire or if it was handed down to the next generation then maybe they don't feel like working much and should look to do something else, because it is frustrating for the customer. Either way, whatever good reputation the business may have developed over the years is being eroded and damaged. Can't blame it on covid, because this has been happening for at least more than two years.
