Customer Reviews

I was there on a Monday night and it was packed. While I was seated immediately. I was told they couldn't even take my order for 30 to 40 minutes but managed to in 20. I ordered the lasagna with chicken parmesan. The salad was quite tasty. Which they got to me quickly. The garlic bread was good. The lasagna was great. But the chicken parmesan was fantastic!!!

Don't let the outside of the building fool you, this place is very good! The house salad alone was worth the trip. I ordered the spinach ravioli and a house salad. The house salad is amazing. Fresh crisp lettuce, no browning. It had ham, salami, and cheese on it as well. The waitstaff are so nice and attentive! The dining room was very clean. I admit, I wasn't expecting much of this place but wow! I will be back.

Wow! Thought from outside this was more fast food-ish but this was amazing. Better than other fancy Italian in the area in my opinion at Italian is my favorite food. When they brought the salad out before the manicotti I realized that there was no way I could fish a meal here. Huge portions for the price. Great food. This will now be a regular place for me.
