The calamari is some of the best we've ever had. Coffee was hot & fresh. Our server Caleb was wonderful, attentive & definitely made the dining experience a great one. The rolls were a bit disappointing compared to the rest of the food. Prices are high but the quality & quantity are worth it. Beautiful atmosphere & decor. Will definitely be coming back!

Dinner on valentines day. Began with cocktails in the bar before our reservation. Great bartenders and excellent wine selection. Partner loved the lasagna and my pasta with clams was very generous on the clams. Dinners in the $25-35 range, with bread and salad included. Lemon cake dessert was very good. Servers were friendly and attentive. This place has an old school vibe, with great service and very good food.

Been going here for 4 years now. The food is amazing and portions are large. If you prefer smaller portions they do offer half portions on some items. The owners and bartender are very nice. Relaxing atmosphere. Very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend! Pics of some of my favorites.

A very spacious, clean, and comfortable Italian Restaurant with great menu items for anyone. Upon entry (4:30pm reservation) the lighting appeared as though they weren't seating, yet. However, we were greeted and taken to sit at our table right away. Once in the dining area, the lighting was just right. Within minutes a pleasant server, Sandy, took our drink orders and gave us ample time to ponder over the menu. We enjoyed a carafe of wine, a beer, and our water glasses were kept refilled nicely. Beginning salads with a house creamy Italian dressing were delicious and perfectly portioned. The soup of the day was a turkey noodle and I was told it was a tad on the salty side. Our plates included: BAKED LASAGNA which was a good size portion for a hungry man, to-the-tooth pasta, beef, pork, ri

I thought the atmosphere and staff were great. The bread was delicious. However, I did not think their marinara or Alfredo sauce was very good. Their chicken parm was good.
