Just when I thought everything was fine with the service, I encountered a frustrating situation today. I asked about the soup of the day, and the server mentioned lentil, minestrone, and chicken soup. When I inquired about escarole soup, he confirmed they had it, despite it not being on the menu. Each soup is listed as $4.50 for a cup and $7 for a bowl on the menu.However, when the bill arrived, I was shocked to see they charged $12.95 for the escarole soup, which wasn't even listed. When I questioned the price, the server insisted it was correct. Paying $15 for a bowl of soup, especially when it's not even listed on the menu, is unacceptable. I regret not taking a photo to illustrate the situation, but I was pressed for time.This experience has left a sour taste, and I won't be returning. I'll be sure to inform my friends and family about this disappointing experience, urging them not to dine there either.

This is my favorite Italian "dining in" experience around. Great food, and a relaxed atmosphere. They have the best chicken Parmesan in the area. Their pizza is good, too, especially their Margherita pizza. Except for Friday and Saturday evenings, I've never had a wait for a table. Highly recommended!

The sign on the wall says it all! The food is amazing! Take a cue from the regulars always order the specials! Everyone from the staff Pablo & Raphael including the patrons become friends! This little hidden BYOB gem over 30 years in business will always have you leaving in a good mood!

Amazing experience ! Such a flavor full food, warm welcoming hospitality, cozy and comfortable interior, and reasonable prices. Am definitely going again.Vegetarian options: They were happy to convert any dish on the menu to vegetarian, by replacing meat/chicken with veggies. GREAT OUTCOME ! Loved the vegetarian dishes !

Hands down the best traditional Italian restaurant in the surrounding area. I keep trying to find other places to try but I always come back here. Is there anything out of the ordinary here, no, what they do is Italian classics well. Anything you want, they have with good size portions. Friendly wait staff, good prices, good portions and it's BYO

You can't beat a restaurant that's more interested in making customers happy than in turning tables over fast. Good portion sizes and with a BYOB policy, you can't go wrong.
