"They have the best hamburger steak I’ve ever tasted in my life. Every bite was nothing short of amazing. The green beans and potatoes as a side were cooked and seasoned to perfection as well. I work around the corner and got this meal to go. After I devoured every last bite in my to go box, I called them and asked them to let the chef know just how pleased I was with this incredible dish. I will be returning on a regular basis ! 5 ⭐️"

"Have been several times & had been over the top. This last time though service was not great, appetizers & food took long to get, one dish (the veal picatta) was WAY to lemony & got that person sick later that evening. They only ate half of the dish. 2 days later they washed the noodles several times before reheating & it was still too lemony to eat (they didn’t want to get sick again). Could have been an off night, & we will give them another try since we love going there."

"Starter: Bruschetta Honestly not too bad, tomatoes needed to be salted Entree: Bolognese This was definitely not your Nona’s bolognese. I was really underwhelmed. The sauce was not rich and tasted like jarred marinara. I was pretty disappointed too because they don’t even carry fresh parm off the block, just the pre-shredded parm. Service: Took too long long to be seated given the restaurant was empty. The food took an hour to come out. Not necessarily a reflection on the server. Overall this place is forgettable."

"4/19/22 came here for the very first time with my lunch date Mr. Jack the owner was very friendly. The staff seemed very nice and attentive, too. The eatery was not too crowded at all, so it was quite pleasant to enjoy an intimate setting. Items ordered: 1. Italian Sausage-- it is sliced and cooked in a brown gravy (this is different than how I have usually seem it prepared). 2. Meatballs--small prepared meatballs in that GREAT-TASTING bolognese sauce 3. Mozerella salad--yummy and fresh 4. The TURKEY PANNINI IS AWESOME!!!!!!!! 5. Braised Pork Cheek is AWESOME!!!! YUMMY-YUM-YUM!!! I will be back to try the other menu items. This restaurant is also very clean!"

"Great Italian place! The food was delicious and the service was good. I ordered the turkey sandwich with vegetables and my husband had the lasagna, bread was warm and the mix of olive oil and balsamic very good"
