    Perfect place to take your family or a date. You can tell the food is made from scratch, everything tasted great! The waitress was attentive and manager checked on us a couple of times throughout our dinner and was very personable. The Chicken Parm might be one of my all time favorites, it’s a must. We will definitely be back!
