First time I've been there.We went there after my nieces graduation ceremony.Excellent food very friendly staff.Our waitress was very good stayed on top of things very friendly .SMALL LITTLE PLACE BUT EXCELLENT ALL AROUND!MY ONLY REGRET IS NOT TO HAVE EATEN HERE SOONER.HAD IT NOT BEEN MY NIECES SUGGESTIONI DONT KNOW IF I WOULD OF GONE THEREBUT GLAD I did

Excellent food, I had the pasta for dinner and sausage and peppers for an appetizer. Lots of food.Salad was good, nothing special.Good price and good service. I want to go again and try more dishes

First visit - disappointed with menu choices. If you're going for the gnocchi, know that they are made with ricotta cheese, not potato (which I prefer). Not very memorable. Second visit - so impressed with the waiter! Brought us a great salad with our dinner and the experience was wonderful. He really impressed us-top notch and should have been in an upscale restaurant. Third visit - I wish I could forget the experience. Very crowded, sat near the kitchen area. We felt like they tried to squeeze more tables in that area. We ordered a special, my favorite at any Italian restaurant - steak siciliano. We had to order more dressing for the salad (no taste), borrow the salt and grated cheese from the next table over because the waitress never came back. They borrowed our pepper. Both tables joked about it and introduced ourselves. We received our steak. When placed in front of me and my dinner partner, I wondered how the chef could put such a piece of meat on the plate to serve. I thought, I will give it a try. Took one bite, chewed, placed in napkin; tried another bite, same, and it continued until we both gave up. I put my napkin on my plate so I didn't have to look at it. The waitress finally came to the table, picked up the plate and had no concern as to why either of us chewed our steak but had discarded it on our plates. We were going to complain, but could not get anyone's attention to do so. We paid for our meals, but shouldn't have! Third attempt - I waited quite a while before attempting again. Our usual restaurant was closed that day and I wanted to take my mom for a light lunch. We were the only customers in the place and my mother asked if they were ever busy. We each ordered shrimp scampi appetizer, wild mushroom soup, and salads. Shrimp scampi was large and good. Shrimp had good flavor but could have used more garlic. Cup of soup was good but a little expensive for size. We filled up on the bread. We were done eating them, but never received our salads even though we had discussed the dressings with the waitress when ordering. I told the waitress to cancel our salads...she did not even acknowledge that she had forgotten them. She was too busy talking with the other co-worker deciding if they wanted to split a shrimp scampi because they looked so good. He may have been the owner/chef because I believe they were the only two in the place. No more. I wanted to like this place because it is close to my house. I give up!

We tried take out here a couple of times a few years ago and although fairly good, the portions were small. Last week we decided to try again and went for in-house dining with another couple. Both the food and service were outstanding and portions were definitely better. The bread was brought to our table quickly and piping hot from the oven. All four entrees and four desserts were excellent. The salads served with the meal were nice dinner salads. The only complaint was that the calamari appetizer was a little tough. Last night we decided to give take out a try again and everything was perfect. Portion size good. Hot, fresh, and delicious food. Containers good. Heavy duty plasticware included. Provided their fabulous rolls. Definitely back on the top of our list.

i literally, sincerely cannot be more aggressively positive about this place. my girlfriend and i eat here frequently, dine in and carry out, and i have NEVER ONCE had a bad experience, the service is always incredibly kind, attentive, and just all around pleasant, every person who answers the phone has the most positive attitude, and the food is to DIE for, always consistent and ALWAYS DELICIOUS (get the chicken tosca, you will thank me and every person at this restaurant when you do). AND THE ROLLS??? don't even get me started. kudos to all of the employees here, you are GEMS <3

The spaghetti and meatballs are excellent and quite meaty. The service was superb!!! If I could get service this great at every restaurant I went to then I would die a happy man.

Jim was the best waiter I have EVER had. We went to celebrate mine, my sister, and my husbands birthdays since we are all within 2 weeks of each other. He gave us each a cannoli and went out of his way to make us feel special and comfortable. We all got the gnocchi and it did not disappoint. Thank you for making our birthdays great! We will be back

All the food is sooo good...from the warm rolls to their house salad dressing to their French onion soup to their gnocchi with palomino sauce and I could go on! Wine is definitely overpriced (maybe...trying to figure out if I was looking at price of a glass or bottle ?‍♀️) but they do give you one house white and one house red option at a super affordable price! Definitely recommend❣️

this place is a hidden gem. excellent food!
