Wow!!! Ate there for the first time tonight. It was absolutely yummy! I had the Chicken Parm, my wife had the veal marsala... and mom had the manicotti. Chicken parm and veal marsala photos are attached. Mom had already dug into the manicotti before westarted taking photos. All turned out amazing! House Chianti was really tasty as well. We will definitely be back. Read more

This is a nice Italian restaurant. The staff was pleasant and the food good. The portions were large and atmosphere enjoyable. ... Worth trying if you are in the neighborhood and have a desire for some Italian food. Read more

My husband says eating here reminds him of when he lived in Italy 25 years ago. I have never been to Italy, but if my dining... experience is reflective of there, I am ready to go! Everything we had was exceptional, from the salad to the pizza to thechicken cacchitore to the wine to the desert. Service was great as well.

This place is awesome. The first thing I was struck by walking in was the noise level; practically nonexistent. It was really... quiet, but no much as a library quiet, more like a fancy restaurant quiet (duh). The servers were really nice. Started off withthe bruschetta alla napoletana (the bread with mozzarella and tomatoes). It was really awesome. The bread was toasted well, andthe tomatoes were great. We also had the fried zucchini, which was great. I definitely recommend both of those. For entrees Ihad the shrimp fra diavolo. It was supposed to be spicy, but it wasn?t really. It ended up building to moderately spicy, but itwasn?t that bad. The flavor was really good, and the shrimp were perfectly cooked (I was able to take the tails off with noissues). My brother had the mostacciola all?arrabiata. He said it was really good. Mom had the white bean soup, that she reallyliked, and my grandma had a vegetable soup(special). My only complaint was the olive oil. It was pretty weak. I eat olive oilwith my bread, but it just wasn?t awe inspiring. Besides that, the bread was awesome. Definitely recommend this place.

We recently attended dinner here after a function. Parking was easy and plentiful. We ate indoors close to 5:30 on a Friday... night. It was not overly crowded and we received good service from the staff. The bread sticks were delicious and we were ableto keep them coming through the meal. The salad was so-so but the main meals were served hot and were absolutely delicious. Ihad the lasagna which was a nice sized portion. All and all I would say this was a very nice place and would go again. Read more

Server was extremely attentive. Every time our water would go down just a little bit - refill! The food was really good. The... only thing was the carbonara was a little toooo decadent for me. Flavor was delicious though. Portion sizes are generous and I?dlove to come back to try other dishes. Read more

Love this place! Excellent service and food. Each dish is very flavorful (but not salty). During the pandemic, I used to order... food from here often, and even the delivery food was good. This place never disappoints me. A hidden gem for sure! Read more

Excellent service and food. In and out quickly on a Monday evening. We had the Chicken Piccata and the Chicken Rolatini which... both were amazing. The Piccata was in a very light lemon white sauce with capers and Rolatini in a light rose vodka sauce. Both on top of perfectly adente homemade pasta. The meal was capped off with their homemade tiramisu which was drenched heavilyin liqueur. Both entrees came with the tangy dressed house salad and freshly baked bread and served with black label realbutter. The only complaint was being seated back to back (within 6 feet) with another booth in a mostly empty restaurant. Read more
