    I accidentally ordered my food here instead of my regular spot but surprisingly it was good! The service was quick and easy and the tea was clean, welcoming and warm. I don't give it a sold 5 just because it is not as good as the other spot I normally go too but it's still good.

    Came to this place for a small industry event. The restaurant is compact and cozy, and at the time that I visited, appeared to be quite packed because of the event. A no nonsense, straight up, fairly- priced Italian restaurant that has a great selection of delectable traditional Italian appetizers and dishes. The Penne Pesto is one of the creamiest and yummiest I've had -- totally worth coming back for. Just make sure your order includes protein if you want it -- the order does not automatically come with it.

    I was craving some good old Italian food, and this was one of the places that a friend had recommended to me. It had a quaint dining room, however, I wanted to take it to go, so I immediately went to the takeout area to place an order. Immediately coming in to take out entrance, the takeout chowder was immediately in front of you and a copy of the menu on a stand behind you and some pickles and lemonade that were amazing. I have you recommended picking up the jar of pickles. Being curious, I ordered a serving of the chef's choice which included lasagna, Alfredo, Bolognese. Everything tasted amazing. The servers were very attentive however, if you ordered the empanadas, I would recommend that you double check them, especially when they are busy because they forgot it once. But the server made it up when I went back to inform them of the mistake. Overall, I think this is a wonderful place if you want some good old American Italian food... as I was trying to find pictures of the food here, I think I realize that I was enjoying the food so much. I forgot to take pictures but trust me it's pretty good. !

    Been wanting to try this place for a while. We came when they were fixing the parking lot unfortunately so there was limited parking on the side only. They painted over and scraped off the exterior mural which was a bummer since it used to give that Italian feel to the restaurant when looking on the outside. They have a pickup side and a dining side. We came around lunch time and it was completely empty. We were seated right away but it took a long time to get waters to the table and place our orders. Overall the food was really good, very flavorful and portion sizes were huge! Unfortunately service is just really slow, even if we were the only ones here.
