I was so satisfied with this hospitality to say the least. The food was delightful. Those garlic knots melted in my mouth in a good way of course! It also was beautiful inside with amazing decorations. The food came out very quick and everything on the menu sounded amazing! I would like to acknowledge my waitresses Gillian and Emma, they did an amazing job taking our order and just talking to us. I can definitely say i enjoyed my time at this restaurant! Definitely recommend checking it out for there amazing food, great hospitality, and adorable decor!

Just tried this little gem again and am glad we did! They seem to have returned to the prior version of the restaurant. I had the cavitelli with garlic shrimp, sausage and broccoli.Delicious. The calamari was tender and prepared perfectly. The Fish special was also delicious. Pork chop had good flavor but a little dry. It's hard to beat a Berkshire pork chop. Maybe that's what they should offer next time instead. So glad to see the pizza is back on the menu! The bread, shaped like a cute gingerbread man was great. Overall a great experience in this sweet neighborhood spot. A definite return trip is in the plan.

A new team creating a local gem! Food is fantastic, casual environment to BYOB. You won’t be disappointed in your dinner and you’ll absolutely love the fresh baked sfogliatella for dessert!!?

Another great Marinelli family restaurant. Looks great inside, I had Drunken Grandma pizza, which was delicious. I'll be back.

It’s an Over priced pizzeria. It’s location is terrible. Tables and chairs are on top of each other. The food was not good. Would not recommend Drive on by.

Wasn’t my favorite dinner in the area. Good was ok but there are a lot of better options.

My wife and I stopped in this small BYOB restaurant last night for a quick bite to eat. Wow, we were so glad that we did! We ordered a bruchetta appetizer to start and then I ordered a homemade spaghetti dinner with "Nonna's" meatballs while my wife just ordered the Nonna's Meatballs appetizer. The meatballs were the size of a small fist and the taste was excellent! Better than we've had in Italy and the sauce (or gravy) was also fantastic. A very nice dinner and a place we will definitely return to! Our server, Michael was also a pleasure to interact with and he made sure our meals came out in a timely manner. No complaints here!

We were doing work on the house and my daughter said she had a gift certificate for the place so we decided to order in. My husband and I previously had food from there a year or so ago and once it was great and the next time it was ok. When I checked the menu online there were no prices listed. I figured what the heck, we had a $50.00 gift card so I ordered. We ordered six entrees and one antipasto salad. The order came to $197.36. I was a bit surprised but sucked it up. Pickup was ok, we paid the rest in cash to avoid the extra charge and took it home. The salad was ok, but three of the six entrees were barely edible. The chicken parm was like shoe leather, the meatballs had tons of filler in them (they were NOT Nonna's meatballs) and we had requested angel hair pasta got told yes and got some other type of pasta. The Mahi Mahi was dry, it became tuna salad the next day to make it edible. There was no salad or bread with any of the entrees. While I don't mind paying 197.00 for a good meal, batting .500 for that price with no extras was not worth it. It was disappointing being it's not too far from home.
Great food. But I am dinging them two starts for not keeping regular hours. Stay open when you say you're open please.

for tonight 7/19.. arrived early went in the front door and no one was there. Looked through the back doors and 4 people were sitting there talking. I called the restaurant the phone rang and rang. Walked around back and I mentioned we had a reservation for 6:15. I was told no they were closed and I don't. I have numerous texts confirming the reservation using their own system. I was told they're never opened then I said I'm not from here anymore and why would you take a reservation. Basically I was treated very unprofessional and rude. I would never go back. We went and had a delicious dinner at Dolce instead I highly recommend them.

We had catering at our home for a pool party and chef Justin's staff catered on site here. It was amazing. They set it up, served, cleaned up, bartended, refilled our drinks, and made sure each guest was taken care of. We were very impressed. The food was very good.

The staff was friendly but the food was overpriced. I had the chicken Parm $24 and my wife had the roasted chicken $26 and that's all we got. You don't even get a tiny little house salad. The bread was similar to pizza crust bread but not as good.I originally asked about pizza and they said they stopped making pizza over a year ago.The chicken Parm was a little tough as was the guys from the next table. The roasted chicken was moist and tasty.For these prices you would expect at least a really nice view or some over the top top. Not here. These are the prices you find at shore town eateries not a place behind a general store.I guess lack of options is in their favor here.

The owner and his wife are so nice. The food is always excellent. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxing. The menu changes so new dishes to try. Love this place.
