The tomato basil soup served with tuesday lunch is so delicious I tried to replicate at home. Even being part Italian and using all fresh ingredients, I was unable to duplicate the fabulous flavor of theirs. The clam sauce over pasta was so good, I mopped up every last bit with their home made bread. It is worth going there just for the incredible coffee...I have never tried a dessert there being too full after their very reasonably priced gourmet lunch though would like to go back just for coffee and dessert. It is sure not to disappoint. I have been back several times since my first visit.

We got there when it first opened. Atmosphere was simple /mildly elegant. Nice and clean! Lots of seating and space.Menu had lots of great choice which made it hard to choose. So we all (group of 7) tried to order something different. We started off with appetizers, garlic bread and bruchetta (spelling? Lol sorry).Garlic bread had fresh garlic on it and lots of butter! Yummm! And the bruchetta was topped with lots of mozzarella and diced tomatoes! Both paired beautifully with the tomatoe soup! The soup was nice, rich and full of flavor. I'm so happy I got it!Main dishes:See photos. Each plate had delicious flavors and pretty good size portions. Some of us couldn't finish everything. We left stuffed and satisfied ???Our server was nice, she was attentive and organized

We returned to this old family favorite after having moved away from CC 12 years ago. The change in ownership since has only made it better. We were a family of 13 dining together after a funeral. Our server worked alone and provided flawless service. The food is some of the best Italian we have ever had anywhere in our travels. Favorite entrees were Eggplant Parmigiana, Shrimp Diavolo, and Lasagna. The desserts are made in house and excellent - Tiramisu and Italian Wedding Cake. We’ll be sure to return on our next visit.

Great tasting authentic Italian food !! The ambience was great we will be back soon!!

Food and service is always on point and delicious as always

The food was delicious atmosphere was great we had lamb chops medium rare they were cooked to perfection and topped it off with tiramisu

The atmosphere was nice and so was our waiter however the food was subpar. My wife's dish, the blackened salmon, was good but my chicken with creamy marsala was not. No flavor whatsoever. They also got my order wrong and the dish they had brought me was cold and looked like mush. And when they finally brought mine the food had no flavor. I was disappointed to say the least. The manager should have came over but was no where to be seen. The waiter was very nice and tried to make it right. He gave us a free dessert . Unfortunately,I don't see myself returning anytime soon.

Rent a store front. Set up a kitchen in the back and some tables and chairs in the front. Don't hang pictures. Don't play music. Serve excellent Italian food at a reasonable price! ? Wow, what great food. Only 4 stars because service was a bit slow but wow this was good. ?

Delicious food, pleasant surroundings, and outstanding customer service. Our server, David, was excellent; will ask for him on our next visit.

I've eaten here twice in the last week, lunch and dinner. It was a pleasant experience both times, excellent food and service, plus a nice atmosphere.
