Our reservation was at 7pm on a Saturday night. We walked in right at 7pm and were immediately seated. I loved the brick walls and the ambiance of the place. Our table was cozy but we had plenty of space for everything. Our waitress was outstanding! Her service and her recommendations were perfect! We had the World Famous Sicilian Pie (2 slices…okay 3 slices) and the Shrimp Fra Diavolo (ordered it a little less spicy). Both were delicious!! We barely had space for anything else but decided we needed to try their World Famous Spumoni and their Homemade Tiramisu. Again, both were soooo good!! I normally don’t like tiramisu because it usually had a strong coffee overtone but this one was light and wonderful! I highly recommend making a trip to check this place out.

Wonderful food and service. Going out to eat well is expensive though, especially if you want to drink wine. And it’s incredibly noisy.
