Staff was friendly and accommodating, we celebrated a birthday on the patio and everyone enjoyed dinner and the casual ambiance. Pork chops, spaghetti with meatballs and the chicken parmigiana were fan favorites. Garlic bread and meatballs for an appetizer is a must, served warm and well portioned. Can't wait to return for another great dinner.
