    Good red sauce Italian, family friendly, fourth visit. Would appreciate more wine choices. Every restaurant it seems offers fried calamari but theirs was exceptional— fresh and crispy. Sunday dinner for four of us a very good value.

    I was told by an Italian friend of mine it is the best for Italian food. I was disappointed. Calamaris were good. But the main course was bland at best. Scallops with pasta in a garlic sauce....4 medium sized scallops with not much flavor

    A good experience at a red sauce Italian restaurant. We were sat quickly and the waiter brought over water and three pieces of Italian bread. No olive oil for the bread. No butter either. We ordered as an appetizer the fried mozzarella and garlic bread. The bread was one large chunk of bread and a large knife. Some what rustic to say the least. The bread was delicious. The mozzarella was delicious as was the red sauce that came with it. The entrees were a three cheese lasagna, eggplant parm and pumpkin tortellini. All three entrees were nicely prepared. We ordered a molten chocolate cake and it was the best part of the meal. Service was very good. A good place to go out to eat if you want a traditional red sauce Italian restaurant.
