The food was all so fresh and tasty, even the gelato was home made! Everyone who worked here was so kind, and the atmosphere was perfect. I told my husband several times that I felt like I was a kid again and at my aunts house. We’ll be back :)

A place that will remind you of dinners at your grandmas house, the atmosphere is cozy and makes you feel at home. The person hosting us, Sal, was phenomenal and very attentive to answer any questions we had. All the food tasted fantastic, knowing it was made with passion and a love to provide delicious home made food. From the appetizer to the home made gelato, let’s just say I continually telling myself “Wow.” Because it was delicious and reminded me of my grandmas home, even though she cooked different food, it was the thought of how much effort and time was put into it and presentation. Please don’t skimp on this tiny little place, I such bite was so comforting and warming.

What a wonderful way to spend our evening. Great service and fabulous food! Portions were very generous too.There was a little wait, but so worth the wait! Would highly recommend.

Many years have passed since we dined at the Appian Way. Fortunately, very little has changed. Same sign, dining room and terrific homemade Italian food. We arrived at 5 o’clock and were the sole dinners for a while. All courses were well prepared and delicious. Their unique cold antipasto is a full plate, a meal in itself. The eggplant rollatini and linguini aglio are also sizeable and very tasty. It was a comfortable, reassuring and timeless dining experience.

First timer. Dinner for twelve. Long wait times? Yes, but that was expected and considered normal as they make everything fresh and to order. Small place but clean and with a friendly staff. Everyone I was with gave the place a solid five stars. I gave it a four due to the meal I ate. The veal parm had a texture I wasn't expecting and the flavor was off. Not sure if it was because I've never had "fresh" veal parm? My wife claimed the fried calamari was the BEST she'd ever had. Fresh baked bread was good if a bit 'yeasty' and the oranges plate was a surprise hit with all. Kids had pasta with butter but they weren't into the homemade pasta. I tired the fettuccine alfredo and that is what I should have gotten. That was a five star plate. Next time then. The desert was also a hit at the table.
