Waitress was very nice but the food was way to salty.

I have gone here dozens of times as it is very close to my elderly mother's home. The food is consitently pretty good though the variety is lacking. They literally have the same vegatables on the side they give you with your main meal and it hasn't changed in years. Not kidding and you can't order anything else even if you want to pay for other veggies. Update (June 2022), they removed the live music from the dining room, so it's improved!!!! Only issue is the bar crowd is a bit rowdy, so you may want to sit to eat in the back room. I go here a lot, it's a good, local spot.

I was waiting in the parking lot for this restaurant to open. The owner came out and told me to get out of his parking lot. That I was trespassing. So in order to avoid an argument I left. As I was pulling off the kitchen area door was opened and I saw cockroaches running out of the door. Avoid at all costs.

I liked it! Clean and bright. Food was fresh and delicious. Staff was very friendly!

Wonderful food and outstanding service!

Our reservations were canceled at another restaurant so we had to scramble to find another. We were pleasantly surprised our meal and waiter were great!

Happy hour bogo for some beer and well liquor - no wine, as is customary, a ?.My veal early bird with a potato 'log'? and sauteed veg was decent. I chose the soup over salad which was very good. My companion had the soup, as well. His Chicken Parm was fine but the sauce with the accompanying linguine was ....Contadina diluted? Very red, sweet. Not appetizing. So different from what came with my veal which was quite good.Staff lovely. Everyone gravitates to the bar at this early hour.Early birds. Happy hour. $65 plus tip.

Clean, friendly. Out dated decor. Difficult to get into parking. Food average. Would expect fresh pasta.

Great bartender, Bill, and awesome food!!!

Very mediocre food for the price. We were very disappointed, but our server was nice. We probably won’t go there again There are better options.
