Flounder Francaise is delicious and fresh and the string are so tasty, done to perfection I can’t get past this as my meal. All the staff are very friendly and attentive. Coffee and dessert are included in the early bird price.

Glad I discovered this place while looking for dinner at 9pm. Great food and beautiful ambience. The welcome bread and bruschetta were delicious. The stuffed eggplant was tasty – skip/share if you want to save your appetite. The tortellini with mushrooms and peas was heavenly, and waiting for it to cool down was hard! Got the gnocchi in oil and garlic for a vegetarian option and that was good too. Friendly service. Parking behind the restaurant and on the street

I went here for a repast. The food was good. They didn’t give small plates for you to eat your buttered bread, we ate it on the cloth napkin that was at each setting. There was no salad dressing for the salad. There was an over abundance of slices of cake to take home which was pretty good.

What’s not to like? Where can you go for a $15 and have soup, 2 salads, 25+ entrees, 4 desserts and coffee or tea before 5PM. Food is good, many choices for your dining pleasures. Service is attentive. They have a parking lot with ample street parking. A good bargain. They do offer daily specials for double the price with much less. Byob.

Cute place, much bigger than expected. The portions are generous for what they charge. Had salad, penne vodka noodles, and chicken parm, and everything was so delicious. My mother had the eggplant parm, and I’ll be having that next time.

Had an after funeral gathering here and could not be happier with the service, staff, and food. Even when we had 15 people over what I expected, they handled it with absolute compassion and speed. Fantastic place.

We use to go all the time. The salad was great. But that’s it. It use to be great! Maybe they changed cooks? Lasagna had a stew like sauce, my sister didn’t like it. I had shrimp scampi . Rice was to hard, even if it was risotto, should not be that hard. My husband had veal . Nothing to get excited about. They cater to large parties. We had 5 different servers. Seems like it’s to unorganized. The table was between or I should say on top of 1 parties of 12+. Don’t think we’ll be back. Plus no reservations for small parties. They actually turned people away , when there were tables available.

Traditional Italian place serving great Sunday sauce. Portions are decent, service is friendly and the atmosphere is classic old school NJ Italian. BYO is a plus. Not a pizza joint

Amazing service, food, and relatively quick. Great value for lunch too, best in the area for Italian (especially, for fish dishes).
