“Food is phenomenal. We rarely eat Italian in restaurants since our family are such great Italian cools. But with 4.9 stars, definitely decided to try it.Bread was served warm, with delicious soft butter ( not that hard wrapped butter so many places serve),Clams oregenato were the Best we ever had.For entrees, we converted 2 of the other apps into main melas.The eggplant rollatini was served over pasta. Wonderfully thin eggplant. Super flavorful cheese. And marina sauce was spot on.The other app turned entree was the Artichoke hears and spinach over pasta. The hearts were amazing, served francais style. I want to come back just for this dish!We were too full for dessert! ?Considering the quality, I thought the price was reasonable. I am happy to pay more for such a well prepared meal.Thank you! We will be back!”

The creative and wide selection of ice cream possibilities make for a superb outing with friends or a soothing retreat if you're on your own like me.

“A local bar that always has sports on the TVs. Very casual ambiance. Drinks at the bar are reasonably priced but take-out bottles and cans are cheaper elsewhere, but I think this is the only choice in highlands for purchasing booze to go. People who work here and guests are friendly. Average customer age is probably around 45.”

From the moment you walk in to the moment you pay for the bill, the staff here take such amazing care of you as if you are one of their own. The food is also of such impeccable quality-the staff here really put the time, effort, and care to go above and beyond with preparing their dishes. This place is a must see and eat for anyone who has a liking for Indian food!”

So lucky to have such a great local spot that fits my dietary needs!”

“Phenomenal sandwiches and other italian fare. Fried ravioli are must-trys. The sandwich selection is HUGE, and you can have them make any sandwich you like. I had the Mel Brooks (pastrami, corned beef, swiss, cole slaw, Russian dressing) on a panini. Absolutely delicious. Needed about five napkins as it was so juicy and savory. Will be coming back repeatedly and will try the italian egg rolls next time.”
