    The large antipasto was wonderful! Chicken tasty, but the clams were small and not great. As my partner said, don’t order clams in the desert anyhow!

    Lugar casero, le falta actualizarse en instalaciones. Muy amables todos. La comida muy bien en general 8-9/10 Puede mejorar. Pero creo que si necesitan actualizar el lugar en instalaciones… Siento que como en un restaurante de los 80. Pero fuera de eso muy bien.

    Chicken fettuccini was so disappointing. Was asked if the peas & prosciutto were ok…I said yes. And when I got dinner, there were no peas or prosciutto. No sauce, just a glob of noodles with no flavor. Chicken was way overdone. Server took it off the bill, but that only takes care of half the problem.

    What’s more perfect than a Joe’s Special? Adding eggplant parm to the order. Calamari, house salad, breadsticks, everything was on point.

    Old inside, the carpet is really old and smells. Food was ok, ordered a salad, which I cancelled because it took so long to get it to me the rest of the table had theirs eaten. Our server however was excellent.
