We love coming here it truly never disappoints, and Valentine’s Day was no exception. We had reservations and enjoyed such a pleasant, relaxed experience. We never felt rushed or like tables needed to be turned over quickly. The atmosphere was calm, comfortable, and spacious, which made the evening even more enjoyable. We especially appreciated that they kept their regular menu and pricing instead of adding a prix fixe or holiday upcharge. The prices are always fair and never feel inflated. This time we ordered the lamb, which was cooked perfectly and tender. You can never go wrong with their penne vodka, and the baked clams were absolutely delicious as well. We love supporting this local gem. I know they’re opening another location, and I hope this one stays just as it is!

Great food and great food. The resturant itself is small in size so you need to make reservations during busy times. Worth it though. If your in the area, check this restaurant out. The bread was so good, kept requesting more. Baked clams were so good too. The plate sizes feed at least 2 ppl when you order half. Ordering full size could definitely feed 3 to 4 people. I will definitely go back for seconds!

We were celebrating my birthday this weekend my son and his family, who live in Long Island ordered a tray of Penne alla vodka and chicken marsala, ( I love Italian food) so that we can have dinner at my house I live in New Jersey. I have to say the food was delicious we were not disappointed at all. Being this is the first time my son ordered from this establishment. Authentic Italian food. The penne was cooked to perfection and seasoned as well. The chicken marsala very very tender and The taste was phenomenal. Nothing is better than having family and good food to top off my day... I thank you very much!!

Excellent shrimp parmesan, a la vodka, & veal franchese. Great service. The chef especially made me a napoleon without chocolate when I said I was allergic. My only request is that the dishes in general be a little lighter.

Walking in, we were immediately greeted and seated with Menus. Restaurant appeared clean, but very minimalistic decor; basic black/white/gray palette. Only about 10 tables, small and quaint. Fresh water was served along with a toasted bread & butter basket. For an appetizer, we ordered the half order of Baked Clams. They were delicious!! And the sauce they were served over was bread dipping worthy!!! For dinner, we ordered the (red) Frutti di Mare and Veal Valdostana. The Veal was unbelievably sized. It was fork tender, and no effort needed to cut. Very enjoyable. The frutti di Mare was actually a regular sized portion from any decent Italian restaurant for one person and was on price point. That said, it was excellent. The calamari melted, and the large shrimp were tender. There were actu
