This is a busy, lively, truly family-run neighborhood Italian spot, and you can really feel that when you walk in. The owners were incredibly warm and attentive — they came out to check on tables, chatted with guests, and clearly take pride in what they do, which we loved. We tried the vodka sauce pasta and the lasagna, both of which were very rich and comforting — definitely classic, old-school Italian portions. The rice balls were fun to try, though we found the texture a bit softer than we expected. Overall, the atmosphere and hospitality were the highlights of our visit, and it’s clear this place is a beloved local spot.

Food and service are excellent!! Wife ordered the Chicken Alfredo and I had the Veal Parmesan. I highly recommend this small Italian restaurant. The chef and owner also came around to check on everything which just added that perfect touch.

Pretty good Italian food. I liked the seafood pasta. The owner (Silvio?) came by and was a bit handsy with some of the young women in my group, which made them uncomfortable.

The food was amazing! We had the meatball lasagna, rice balls and cannolis. All was top notch. The owner was super nice and we loved how he came around to the tables. The waitress was very nice and always available as was the water guy. My only complaint was the lady seating people was rude. Said they had a table but we had to leave by 6pm. We had no idea that we needed reservations as Google didn't say anything about needing reservations. We almost walked out due to her rudeness. Glad we didn't but she was rude to others as well, like telling the people in front of us to close the door so it does get hot in there. Highly recommend the place but hope they do something about the rudeness of the hostess!

If you are thinking about going here please go! You will not regret it. My husband & I had a date night here I got the pork chop and oh my was it to die for! Fall of the bone good! Great atmosphere! The chef/owner I think come around to every table and talked to everyone it was really nice! We’re already planning our next visit!
