Hands down excellent food every visit. We always start with the fresh fried mozzarella as an appetizer. Sauces are all divine. Chicken parm is always tender and well seasoned and the Grandma’s Margarita with its thin, crisp crust, fresh garlic and basil and crushed plum tomatoes are excellent options. Cheesecakes and desserts on rotation. Try the cannoli cheesecake for something different. Easy enough to walk in during the week. There’s a bar area and space for larger private parties. Parking is easy with designated lot within the shopping center. Nice outside dining for warmer evenings. Owner is usually onsite and very friendly and gracious.

First time here. Our food was delicious and April our sever was great. Answered our questions offered recommendations. Checked back on us throughout our dinner. Had the Italian Wedding Soup and Eggplant Parmigiana. Cheesecake for dessert, very good. Had already started eating when I remembered to take pictures. Great local restaurant.

They are still open and excellent!! Gia was my server who was sweet, kind and didn't bug me( I dined alone)! The Chicken piccata was excellent! Two well cooked boneless skinless chicken breasts, lemony moist, perfect. The potatoes were really nice and the green beans were a surprise. Enough food for left overs. I love their bread and olive oil for dipping. I had a nice glass of wine. Could be a bit bigger pour for $11 but otherwise nice choices for wine! Lots of Italian wines. I had the carletto Montepulciano. Low tannins but nice smooth Italian wine.

We visited this restaurant to take advantage of an Offline app discount. We made a reservation through the website, but found when we arrived that it would not have been necessary on the Sunday evening we visited. We were seated and served very quickly, but did not feel rushed at all during the meal. I took the recommendation of the server to try the seafood canneloni special (instead of the braised short ribs) and was very happy with my selection. The cream sauce was incredibly flavorful and the dish did not lack in cheesy goodness. The shrimp on top were perfectly seasoned and cooked and were a nice addition to the seafood inside the canneloni filling. I only wish I had saved some of the complimentary bread (served with rosemary olive oil for dipping) to get every last drop of the sauce off my plate. We also ordered the fried calamari which was very light and crispy and the veal parmigiano, both of which we'd gladly eat again. There were a number of visitors stopping by for takeout, so that's an option for us to consider in the future also.

I come here all the time. My son loves the pizza and I love the Alfredo. Ive also had sangria here before. Very delicious. I usually get my Alfredo with shrimp but also sometimes chicken. Im so excited they have started serving Gelato. Cant wait to try that next!
