“ One of the best family owned restaurants I've been to. It's super small so reservations are encouraged. You definitely feel at home. The food was absolutely amazing. I had the spaghetti and the meatballs were huge!! My friend ordered a seafood pasta and it was delicious. Also, the basil dressing they use for salad dressing is top tier. They also own a bakery next door. We got tiramisu and a hummingbird cake which was phenomenal. Will definitely be back when we're in the area. I didn't get many pictures. ”
“ Small and intimate restaurant, took a bit to finally be able to get in with a reservation but well worth it. Food was all delicious, and will definitely return. Service, everyone was very friendly and outgoing. ”
“ High quality, authentic food. Small dining area. You might need to call for a reservation. I went early (5pm-ish) so it wasn't an issue for me. ”
“ Been meaning to come here for years, but basically working second shift did not mesh with their hours. Now I can finally enjoy actually doing things in the evening. Met Mike, Anna, and a couple other Yelpers here. We had a reservation, which is a very good idea. Even on a Tuesday night there was a wait, and the place is tiny so the waiting area is pretty much in the dining room. As is the kitchen, right around the corner. But once seated it didn't feel cramped, and the noise level was decent, with easy conversation. There is a small outdoor area but it was rainy. Very pleasant environment, somewhat old-school Italian-American. As was the food: perfectly-done versions of lasagna, Alfredo, Parmigiana, etc. I got the lasagna, a big portion with very good sauce, perfect pasta, a load of excellent meat, and good cheese. Very enjoyable. Took home some gnocchi for Sweetie; she liked it but wasn't completely impressed. Loved the sauce, liked the gnocchi. Baby K got her new favorite, Alfredo, also on her new favorite, rigatoni. I tasted it and it was very good. She loved it. The kid's portion was more than enough for an 8-year-old, and really enough for an adult. Plus, hers was brought out first, a nice touch for parents. And it was not served hot- just right for a kid. Our meals were a bit warmer, again just right, and the one I got to go came out piping hot. They are on top of many little details here. There was plenty of garlic bread for the table, also good. I tasted Mike's artichoke-spinach dip: great dip with perfect dipping wedges. Stuffed, we passed on desserts, but they sounded good. Service was superb. There when needed, but not pushy, really on top of things for a kid, which I didn't expect from a fairly adult-oriented place. And on top of things in general. The owner checked in on us, and talked to Baby K about what she liked. Prices were better than I expected, well worth it for the quantity and quality. We will definitely be back. ”
“ This is simply one of the most wholesome and loveliest places. So small and intimate, and the owner comes around just to make sure everything is good. The caesar salad was great, it didn't even last long enough for pictures. If you love anchovies like me, definitely get them added! Pasta Fritto was good, but heavy. I barely touched dinner after that! The sampler is great, I was shocked that my favorite was the eggplant parmesan because usually I wouldn't go for it. Bread pudding was so decadent. Book in advance and prepare for a wonderful evening! ”
“ My husband loves Italian food and he kept talking about this restaurant, so I had to try it! It was very nice! I really like their Pasta Fritto, the crispy and everything was so good. My husband got Chicken Marsala and he said it was the best one so far! And you can't miss their Garlic Bread, it's the beeest!!!! I want to keep eating their garlic bread all night :D The restaurant was very cute, the owner was very nice, he came and said hi us. If you plan to go, you should book the table in advance! ”
“ I had been wanting to try this place for a while and so excited I finally made it! The inside is so cute, they have red and white table cloths and lots of nods to Italy. The staff is also so kind and I was sat right away. For the food we ordered a bottle of red wine for the table, pasta fritto, bruschetta, and insalata caprese. The pasta fritto seemed a little strange to me but it was AMAZING. The caprese was also so flavorful and fresh. For my meal I ordered the chicken Marsala. The vegetable it came with that day was green beans they also were so delicious and fresh. The portion size of the chicken was HUGE and I was able to bring almost half of it home! It was some of the best Marsala I have ever had. For dessert we split tiramisu and carrot cake. I cant decide which was better they were both so amazing. The carrot cake was so flavorful and the tiramisu was fluffy and the best I've ever had. Can't say enough good things about the food! When the bill came I was shocked by how inexpensive it was. We ordered so much food, the portions were so large, and the pricing was so good! I will 100% be back. ”
