First time here, and will definitely be visiting again. Have already recommended to friends and family. The owner was very nice!

This was my first time coming here. The place is so welcoming. I was greeted when I walked in and receive great service from Dominic. He was very accommodating and he even gave me a sample of their vegetable pasta, which was amazing. I ordered a grilled chicken on a wrap and it was amazing. I definitely recommend this place.

Absolutely blown away by the level of care and attentive service from Dominic! This owner takes pride in his craft and goes the extra mile for his customers. Such a pleasure to work with compassionate, thoughtful person who anticipates, understands and delivers (pun intended) a quality service and a quality meal. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!

First time ordering the number 15, which was amazing guy at the encounter asked if this was my first time, and offered me a complimentary angel hair pasta salad, which was incredible. If I lived closer, I would come here every day and twice on Sunday
