"Fabulous! Going in, I was totally unimpressed. However, the food was fresh, homemade (including their pasta, which I LOVE), the service was excellent, and the owner came over several times to see how we enjoyed our dinners. Before I left, I complimented the chef, who altered the menu to make what I had requested. All in all, I highly recommend this restaurant to those who like fine food, well prepared, and served nicely."

"EXCELLENT FOOD. The veal meatballs, for example, were the best my wife and I have ever tasted--including meatballs made by our parents and grandparents. You can also order small plates so you don't have to come away overstuffed."

"We were a party of four that eat out an average of 6 nights a week. We had 3 different dry tasteless and very small veal dishes that were basically tasteless. The lack of any ambiance in the dining room also does not help, All sides are extra. We would rather eat in a good pizza joint than this restaurant. This is the first time we have written a good or bad review but felt compelled to share part of our disappointing experience."

"This was the worst dining experience we've had in a long time. The service was the non-existent. The baked clams had little flavor, the spaghetti with white clam sauce had no clams in the sauce, and we ordered the meatballs which never arrived and all the waiter could say was "sorry". Plates left on the table for half hour, and waited just as long for a second drink. Never again."

"While this is mostly an adult restaurant, they went out of their way to accomodate our granddaughter for her 6th en birthday dinner. When I noted on open table that she only liked cheese ravioli or plain pasta, they made cheese ravioli especially for her and created a beautiful birthday dessert with her name written in chocolate. Great personal service!"

"The food was well prepared and tasty. Classic italian dishes that were freshly prepared and well done. Will be on my short list to return again and again."
