I've been here numerous times with family, friends and out of town guests. We have never had a bad experience. I love the mozzarella sticks for an appetizer. They taste like they are made fresh. The meatballs are fantastic. You cannot go wrong with any of the pasta dishes. I have become a regular customer, and will continue to go there.

Delicious food! Excellent service! Casual environment. Many menu items/wide variety/selection and daily specials. Planning to become a regular.

I never leave bad reviews, but I am so disappointed. Tonight we ordered take out from here for the first time and it was some of the worst food I’ve ever had. The Caesar salad came without any dressing or croutons, as well as lots of romaine lettuce that looked to be going bad. The Italian wedding soup had no flavor with a watered down broth. The pasta was mediocre. Try Bella Mia instead.

I gave 5 stars because the food was excellent!! I arrived 30 min before closing and service was very delayed. I will go back because the food was wonderful!! I ordered spaghetti carbonara. They have fettuccini carbonara on the menu. I had them substitute spaghetti for the fettuccine. Also ordered garlic bread knots they were awesome. Definitely highly recommend and worth the drive!! Very authentic food!!

Moved here from Long Island in February. First time ordering pizza since leaving NY and I get this ? how lazy are you you can’t even make your own knots?? And this was my $15 fried calamari which was the furthest from advertised. With so many good reviews I was expecting a lot more!

Went with friends on a Tuesday night for dinner. They had $1.00 meatballs. We were told how big they are. Let’s just say there were a lot of to go boxes. Very good sauce was excellent

Went for dinner at 4:30, took 20 min to get a drink and placed our order. Dinner appitizer arrived and then the wait staff never came back to the table! I went out front to ask the hostess, where our waitress was, no answer! Walked around and found the wait person who took our order, she was surprised that the meal wasn't delivered. I told her to forget the order and bring me the bill. We sat back down and the owner came to the table and said she never put the order in but he would get it right out. Dinner arrived... The Veal Marsala was so overcooked that each piece was like cardboard!

Our bartender, Jeff was great! Marci our regular bartender finally got a day off we guess. The food was fantastic as always! We will continue to come back every week to enjoy the food and the people that work here.

Great family restaurant, excellent service and the food was outstanding. The portions were plentiful, one will not leave hungry.The menus has something for all appetites, you will not be disappointed. Great Italian food, try them.

We asked a local about the restaurant and didn’t get a favorable review, but we thought we’d take a chance. The place was busy. There was a band in the back room, singing older music. Seemed after they were done the place cleared out.The food was good. Portions a good size, not huge but not small. The flavor was very good. The chicken Marsala was cooked good. Chicken very tender. Sauce was good. A little runnier than I’ve had before. But it was flavorful. The penne with Italian sausage and peppers was also tasty. Not a heavy sauce. It was a great choice for the evening. The garlic knots were everything people rave about. No skimping on the garlic or butter.Service was ok. Took a while for anyone to acknowledge that we were there, even though we were noticed. But, we get it. We don’t expect a lot of servers these days because we know people are short staffed and seem overworked.We’d come back for sure!
