    The food and service was good. The chairs were hard and the tables were bare. It would have been nice to have had placemats. It’s a good place for families. Large selection of wines.

    Delicious! My husband grew up eating Italian food cooked by an Italian woman who spoke three words of English and all of them were “eat”. He was impressed with the food and wants to come back and try it all! It’s like eating in the dining room of an Italian family, everything is delightful, and reasonably priced. We found our new spot!

    The food selection and food was delicious. Our server Rachael was great, very attentive and friendly. Small and cozy. The only minor thing would be the lighting was very bright and would be nice if it could be a little but dimmer. But that is a personal choice. Will definitely be going back.

    Very good, authentic Italian cuisine. A little pricey, but it seems like most things are these days. Staff were fun and engaging. It's a smaller place and quite loud, especially along the back wall/corner.

    Excellent. We were greeted as if we were family and treated that way throughout our time there. The food is always delicious. Served hot and portion perfect. We were surprised with a very tasty after dinner treat. We enjoyed all the folks who work there. They really make the night fun. Reminds me very much of being at grandmas back in the day…. Can’t wait to go back.

    Nice quiet restaurant behind the empty mall parking lot. Booths tiny, open table better for our party of four adults. Garlic knots seemed leftover. No draft beers or well drinks. Lunch prices very reasonable and plenty to choose from. Salad was meh...too much spring mix no romaine or head lettuce, no onions, two tomato and cucumber pieces. The house dressing was good. I would pay more for better salad. The tomato gravy/sauce is the best.Please don't tell me it was from a can. I had the chicken piccata with spaghetti special and was satisfied. Just a few touches and presentation to elevate would make me want to return. Chef Rocco was not there.
