We were passing through town this evening, and were given a dinner recommendation from our hotel desk clerk when we asked for a... good place to eat. This restaurant was close by and was serving late, both good points. The restaurant is located in a smallerstrip mall with ample parking and easy handicap accessibility. We were seated and attended to quickly and efficiently in thecozy dining room by a very friendly server. She was gracious and very helpful in answering our questions about menu items. Themenu offers an abundant assortment of authentic Italian entrees and pizzas. My entree of homemade pasta with shrimp pink saucewas absolutely delicious. And the portions were huge! My husband loved his meat lovers pasta! We couldn?t finish either entree.I especially enjoyed the garlic knots and the Caesar salad. The owner, who came out to introduce himself, was friendly andseemed genuinely interested in our dining experience. He shared a bit about his background from Sicily. A truly delightfuldining experience! I highly recommend you go there for a nice glass of Pinot noir or Chianti and a great meal! You won?t besorry. Read more

Stopped here on our drive back home from Williamsburg for late dinner leaving Busch gardens. Two medium pizzas ordered. One was... margarita. Excellent service, friendly staff. Pizza made exactly on time. Great food. Would stop here again. Worth the 5-minutedetour off the highway Read more

I ordered those lunch special, lasagna. It was only about $10 and I think the lunch specials are available until about 3:00 p.m.... on weekdays. It was absolutely delicious and tastes even better than homemade. The salad that came with it was delicious and agood size portion. My wife ordered a chicken Philly sub and she enjoyed it very much. Again a very good sized portion. We tookhalf of her sub home and I ate the rest of it the next day and it was still delicious! Read more

Great pizza but they keep jacking up a simple house salad! So today was the THIRD time I ordered house salad and it legit only... came with lettuce, tomato and cucumber. No onion, no croutons, no salami & provolone. At best it was like a garden salad. Butthey dont offer garden salad on the menu so in all cases, this salad was lacking proper ingredients. I dont know if its willfulnegligence or what but its pretty annoying when you don't know what you are getting each time you get takeout from this place.Oh and the Fried Zucchini was absolutely terrible. Never order that menu item. Read more

My fiance ordered some food from this place for take home and this is what I got. So I got a Chicken Alfredo side salad. Well... the salad was brown as hell didn't see this until after I ate the tomato. Scooted that to the side and began eating some pasta.Well lets say its in the top 5 for tasteless pastas I've ever had. The chicken has no flavor at all... The sauce is just thereto make it slide down your throat easier. The portion is awesome if it actually tasted decent. I could have honestly gotten abetter one from Domino's or made one with the premade sauce from target with microwaved chicken on a stove stop. I'll stick topizza here honestly nothing else.

Kind, friendly waitstaff Quick service. The food is excellent. Portions are large, you get twice as much as the competition for... a similar price. Except lasagna which seems to stay the same every where. Read more
