This used to be my all time favorite place. I think they changed chefs because the food just didnt taste the same. They were known for their garlic but my dish didnt have any. I hope it goes back to original recipes because I used to love the food.

Don't let the outside of the building keep you from entering the simple, clean, and comfortable inside of this restaurant. Then, get ready for some great Italian food. My veal parmigiana and side spaghetti were delicious. I had the minestrone soup as part of the "dinner" selection, and it was delicious as well, with a slightly spicy kick. Great servers as well. This is an all cash establishment, so keep that in mind.Also, 10% discount on entries for 55 or older. Great food, great place.

I've been going to this Italian family restaurant since I was a kid ?, it's been at least 20 years and the quality of the food never changes , portions are pretty big; so expect to take home leftovers. I usually always get the Alfredo pasta with chicken, which is loaded with slivers of garlic and mushrooms and soo creamy and flavorful?, but this time I wanted to get Carbonara Romana , it was very delicious. It had pancieta and peas and creamy chessy? sauce, which was very satisfying. My husband settled for the lasagna, which is never a disappointment☺️. It was sooo cheesy and had a delicious marinara sauce .The pizza is really good too . And I can't forget the tiramisu was sooo good , you gotta try it !! The atmosphere is a lil outdated (it hasn't changed in over 20 years ) , it's not a fancy place but the prices are fancy prices $$ , (if you know what I mean ) but since I can remember it's always had high prices. The food is delicious and definitely worth a try , the service was good , I have never had bad service here since I can remember . I definitely recommend this place .

Where do I even start? I unfortunately made reservations here for my entire family (group of 13) to celebrate my mom’s birthday. From the moment we got there, the waitress seemed to be in a bad mood. She waited 30 mins, yes, an entire half an hour to take our order. We didn’t even get bread at that point. Then we found out that in addition to being CASH ONLY (which is insane, it’s 2023) they also don’t split checks. This made it complicated. I really wish we would have left at that point, but we all ordered and couldn’t wait to get good food after some of the reviews I’d read. To say the food was bad would have to be a huge understatement. When I say 10 out of the 13 people who got food HATED it, I’m not exaggerating. And we are NOT PICKY. I don’t know what happened with their food today (this was my first time) but it was beyond disgusting. The scallop scampi was so fishy, when I had my mom and sister taste it they literally spit it out. It was SO salty and tasted like it had gone bad. Then several people ordered the chicken fettuccini alfredo and some how THAT tasted fishy!! We think some of their sea food must have gone bad and the juice got into the Alfredo sauce? All I know is nearly all of us didn’t eat more than a feels bites. I essentially paid $400 for garlic bread and iceberg salad. But what added insult to injury was how terrible the service and atmosphere was. The waitress was so grumpy and annoyed the entire time. We paid for all the food we didn’t eat so I’m not sure why she was upset. Just the fact we were a big party seemed to annoy her. She then added a 20% gratuity to the bill - which I normally tip 25% but tonight she didn’t even deserve 10. Literally none of us will ever be coming back and I am FLOORED that this place has the reviews it does. It’s literally NASTY and incredibly overpriced.Update: 6 out of the 13 of us got food poisoning (pretty much anyone who ate some of the seafood!) BEWARE!

Authentic genuine Italian food in cozy hometown atmosphere. And the garlic bread? Forget about it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have heard about this place for years. So I my wife and I were in the area and stopped for dinner.My wife ordered a piña colada. $18.00 for an average drink. I ordered a $7.00 Modelo 12oz bottle beer. The beer was cold.My wife ordered clams linguine.$26.00 food was boringI ordered a med sausage, tomato and garlic pizza. Boring and no taste. We found this restaurant was very over priced for boring mediocre food.

Let me just say for this place to be a "hole in the wall" the prices are just outrageous! My daughter's spaghetti was super dry, and our dishes were both very salty. Overall service was okay but if you ask me for the price and food save yourself the time and just go to olive garden very much disappointed!!
Food was delicious but when we came home we both got sick.Probably won't return

Good food, poor service. Wish we didn't leave a tip as we realized they overcharged us nearly $50, and when we went back, they didn't even give the correct amount back and not even so much as an apology. Staff gets flustered when asked for a receipt, but what can you expect when they ask for cash only. Would avoid it as there's plenty of other good Italian restaurants.

Food is alright. Limited space inside. Receipts are not itemized (so you have no idea what you are paying for). You don’t get a copy of the receipt. When you ask for a copy, stuff looks confused. Cash only business (interesting).

If I can give these people more than 5 stars, I would. Their food is super high quality and it tastes so delicious. Their EggplantParmigiano is indescribable. Their Fettuccine and spaghetti are so authentic. The ingredients are well taken care of and the portions are great. I recommend them. They are the best in the high desert out of all restaurants I tried. Even Olive Garden compares nothing to them. They are the best Italian restaurant I have ever ordered from.

The wait can be long, and the prices seem high at first glance, but the hefty portions of high quality food more than make up for it.
