This is a very good neighbor Italian restaurant for lunch and dinner. It has a full bar, small and large tables, and outdoor seating is available. Food is consistently excellent. The shopping strip location isn’t great, but the restaurant is tucked in a corner away from the parking lot.

This is great Italian food served up by friendly staff. Have a good old vine Zinfandel or a great Growlers Cabernet Sauvignon, or a big ice cold draft Peroni. Then for food, Start with the Caprese salad, and then dive into Scampi Rosso and Penne Sausage.

Horrible food, outrageous prices, poor service! Portions are miserly, entrees are served on salad plates. The $14 antipasto plate was barely enough for 1 person. 3 tiny slices of bread, (the waiter absolutely refused to give us more!) 3 pencil thin asparagus pieces. A tablespoon of sauteed spinach. What?! Everything we ordered was terrible. Chicken and grilled eggplant was 3 bitter slivers of eggplant, thin chicken slices are tasteless and dry as shoe leather. Pasta was dry. Most things tasted like they came out of a box. Trader Joe’s has better frozen entrees! This is not Italian food, nor is it hearty. I will Never EVER eat at this hole again! Horrible!

This is a wonderful Italian restaurant that is reminiscent of our adventures in Bologna, Italy. Excellent food with personable customer service. Our server, Richard, was very knowledgable about the menu and very friendly. The cream of mushroom soup and pork scordato meals were delicious!

This place has turned into a sleazy bar for baby boomers.

We weren’t greeted and stood at the door confused if the place was open but decided to give it a try after being greeted a couple minutes after standing. No bread offered, waiter didn’t introduce himself, no Alfredo or white sauce pastas offered. Very minimal menu vs what it reflects online.There was no music and was certainly over priced. This was a awkward lunch to say the least and my fiancée and I wish we didn’t go after she got sick an hour later.

Food was marginal close to cafeteria quality. Stuffed mushrooms were bland and dry like no other stuffed mushrooms I’ve had before. Service and people were very nice!!
