    Back again one year later and just as good. Meatballs still tasty. My husband's baked ziti still fabulous. I tried something new, the chicken parmigiana and it was yummy. Coming back again one more time before we head back home. Highly recommend to everyone.

    This is a great place for excellent food, service and ambiance at a reasonable price. Not fancy/upscale and great for couples/families.

    We brought friends that missed out last Christmas when we brought a large group. They LOVED everything, as did we. It always feels like a meal cooked with love and attention. Giovanni, our waiter, was spot on all night and truly spoiled us. From the minute we were greeted as we walked in to sadly when we had to leave everything was impeccable. I’m thinking this is becoming an Annual tradition for us. 🥰
