Route 45
Our group of eight received excellent service and everyone enjoyed their dinner. The special bite-sized pizza appetizer was amazing. We all agreed we would definitely return. As we were leaving, a cooking class was beginning at the large back table(s). What a unique idea!

Beautiful place with a nice atmosphere however it seems that there is something that is interfering with a great experience. We were the only ones in there which is usually a red flag… and how true that was. We ordered the jumbo shrimp appetizer stuffed with crab meat… supposed to come with 6 shrimp and only came with 4 miniature shrimp… they didn’t inform us they didn’t have enough for an order and tried to appease us with a few baguettes and marinara sauce when they brought the shrimp, no less for$16.. they didn’t even offer to compensate us…I ordered the chicken dinner and the waitress came back and said they were out of it… they did offer a free drink for that inconvenience. Although the veggie lasagna was very good, the steak bites were small and chewy with fat. We will not be going back.

It’s OK for a place in Clifton. The service is lacking and the selections are few. Food was good and you can tell they try which is a plus. If you want a classier place look for one without gambling machines. Maybe they should swap entrances for the restaurant. The sausage and pepper app was amazing. I’m not sure why they only give you 2 pieces of bread with the oil.

Wonderful Italian food and great steak. Nice to be able to get a great steak in a nice small town and a great atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out this small town gem.

This place is amazing! If you’re in the area, you have to visit this restaurant. It’s like eating at a fancy Italian restaurant in downtown Chicago without the drive, parking, traffic and crazy prices! Try the homemade meatballs, sausage and peppers, steaks, or lasagna. I’ve tried them all and they are fantastic. Great service, family-owned, authentic Italian food – this is truly a gem!

The Italian Beef sandwich is amazing. Very nice atmosphere. It looks like they are expanding into the next room. If you love the old brick buildings that built America’s Main Streets, you will love this place.
