What Visitors Say
“People say this Italian restaurant serves delicious homemade pasta, chicken parm, and meatballs. They highlight the reasonable prices and old-school, family-friendly vibe. They also like the friendly and attentive service.”
Out for a girls weekend with friends and we stopped here earlier today. The atmosphere was quiet and homey. The smell lingered all the way outside and was very welcoming upon arrival. We shared a pizza, hands down the best crust I've ever had it was so good. Very delicious. I had the zucchini sticks and the fettuccine with garlic, olive oil and parsley and added sausage. It was so tasteful and delicious. Everything we had was HOT and FRESH! The waitress was very friendly and gave plenty of great recommendations.

3 months agoCame here after hearing some great reviews and I have no idea why. We got a pizza and it was a 4/10 at best. Nothing was fresh...premade dough, sauce, and toppings from a can. Thin flavorless pizza that took 45 minutes to arrive. On the positive side, our server was pretty nice and the atmosphere is about what you'd expect from an old school Italian joint. That being said, we won't be back.
2 months agoA nice Italian restaurant in the heart of little Italy. The pizza we got was okay, but we would probably opt for a pasta dish if we ever go back. Our server was good and they have a discount if you pay by cash, but it's really just avoiding an upcharge for paying by credit card
