This neighborhood Italian restaurant was a great find. While it is in a strip center, and doesn't look to be anything special, the food and service was great. My husband had lamb that he said was some of the best he's ever had. I had a wonderful soup, followed by a chicken special that was just as great.

Awesome family restaurant that’s a hidden gem!! Tasteful food and awesome customer service! Cozy and warm ambience that’s perfect for both family and dinner date.Hubby ordered stuffed chicken Marsala and I had Chilean sea bass house special. Appetizer was calamari.Complimentary bread served with garlic.The calamari was perfect!!! Perfectly cooked, lightly breaded.Marasala: Hubby loveeeedd it!! It came with a side of pasta. Home made marinara sauce was delicious.Sea bass: came with pasta in a lemon-caper sauce. Sea bass was light and cooked well. The sauce was delicious.To end it, we had creme brûlée. The most decadent, delicious dessert ever! Not too sweet! Only wish it was a bigger portion.Everything was perfect!I think we found our new family go-to Italian restaurant !!

Long wait to get in, but the food and service is excellent ?

Tired old place. I struggle with those who believe that it is authentic Italian. Certainly what is on the menu is indeed Italian, but the quality was very low. Olive oil was cheap, one dish was partially frozen and all tasted either artificial or inedible, frankly. The people are friendly, but that does not make up for a dilapidated place with paper tablecloths charging mid-level prices for substandard fare. I'll never return but I wish them well, and urge they improve overall.

Only one time was the food just "ok". All the other times, over a 10 year period, was excellent. If you get Alex as your waiter then you're in for a treat!

I so wanted to love this place. Sadly the meal was filling but not worth repeating. The fried calamari was sent back as it was completely inedible. The spaghetti and meatballs were fine, but not amazing. The veal piccata was good but served with a side of penne with red sauce...which I found weird. It's usually served with spaghetti or angel hair to sop up the sauce. Creme brulee was grainy and not good

Food is just average. Bruschetta topping was excellent, but the bread was over-toasted and dry. The special Franco chicken was unexpectedly sweet — in fact, too sweet. The pomodoro pasta was over cooked and one dimensional. The pesto gnocchi was too cheesy. If you’re looking for Italian food, and are okay with average Italian food, then it might be worth a try.

Had delicious food. It was a very hip and Italian environment. Both the prices and the serving sizes were quite reasonable. Overall, it was excellent and satisfying. We definitely will return.
