★★★★★ 5.0 Courtney Liszcz · Jan 2026

I honestly don't know why we waited so long to check this place out! We ordered for take out and it did not disappoint! Food was absolutely delicious with large filling portions. I don't think I've ever seen my daughter eat her dinner so fast. She enjoyed every last bit of her chicken parm. Best penne vodka in the area. The restaurant was so beautifully decorated and we will have to stop by again for dine in. We walked in to place our order and food was ready quickly. We will be back!

My girlfriends and I came in for a girls weekend dinner. The restaurant was decorated for Valentines adorably. We got the 4 course dinner special and each course did not disappoint (holy dessert flight!) Our waitress Tammy was absolutely wonderful. I wasn’t expecting the restaurant to be full in single digit weather but now I know why.

Very disappointed. Both meals are cold even though I specifically told the woman who took my order over the phone that I wanted the food hot and that I would be picking it up at 6:50 pm. I arrived exactly at 6:50 pm. The chicken parm pasta was completely dry with plain, bland noodles, and the chicken parm had barely any sauce. I specifically requested for extra sauce and didn’t receive any sauce. I ordered over the phone and asked for the $36.99 for two. Nothing in their website about the New Year’s Eve menu with a different price. I was told there was a New Year’s Eve special menu, but I was not informed that the price was per person. Since the regular menu is for two, I assumed they were simply narrowing the menu for New Year’s Eve — this was never clarified. I was also not told that ea

We are new to the area and are trying out local establishments. Everything was going well- we saw the place was very busy on our way to another restaurant so I told my to husband stop here instead. Usually business is a good sign of good food. We highly enjoy dining out. Our server was Joey who was FANTASTIC, along with Brooke who was helping bus tables and drinks. The two were an AMAZING team. All of the food was GREAT along with the service. Unfortunately before I dined I went to wash my hands and was absolutely ASTOUNDED that there was multiple ceiling tiles with clear moisture damage and MOLD just blatantly out for everyone to see. I wanted to leave the restaurant but I didn’t want to embarrass the servers or my family for that matter. Obviously this is of no fault to the employees -

My family came here for the first time as we don’t live in the area, however, we loved it so much we plan on going frequently when we head back from our beach trips over the summer. It’s really a hidden gem. The food is some of the best I’ve ever had at a restaurant honestly. The staff is also very nice it was very welcoming. The servers were polite and quick to get you what you need. You can also tell they put a lot of effort into the ambiance and do a great job in doing so. My family and I are very excited to come back. I highly recommend.
