    We had a very nice birthday lunch for my son. The chicken Marsala was our favorite main. The antipasto salad is also a must. The chicken parmigiana has a great crisp on the chicken and the ravioli is our kids go to (before the pizza). Overall a great pick for a relaxed family afternoon enjoying a great lunch. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and dishes were out in good rhythm to make our afternoon flawless.

    It started well as a big surprise for my girlfriend with her family group of 8 but as we ordered everybody got what they wanted and the server explained that there is a small plate and large but didn’t explain the serving size he let us order large not knowing each dish could feed about 6 per dish and when we got the food we had so much we each took home at least 3 whole containers . Home it was unpleasant that the server could of said hey what you guys order could feed about 40 people & just rolled out the food unpleasant and unprofessional will not be coming back here ever again .

    There was hardly any Gorgonzola cheese in the apple Gorgonzola salad. The large size of the chicken lemone had only few small pieces. The spaghetti with meatballs needed more marinara sauce. The colossal dessert was mostly whipped cream. There was hardly anything under the mountain of whipped cream. Food was Very disappointing.

    There was a little bit of an issue with service; by the time he brought us our bread for the table, they brought no butter, no, olive oil and vinegar, nothing to put on the dry bread. Don’t get me wrong, the bread was perfectly fine, but it needed something on it. I paid the check & noticed something weird. We had ordered a special (spaghetti and meatballs), and it was meatball Monday, meaning that the meatballs with spaghetti were half price. I thought the bill little high, but I paid it, and it was only as we were leaving that I noticed they did not give us the half price discount and charged us full price for it. Before we walked out the door, I spoke with the host, who got someone to take care of that for me, and they changed my belt. It was a little disconcerting, though, there’s a sign on all the tables, so the fact that they would make that mistake just doesn’t make sense. Now, onto the food. The mozzarella marinara was exceptional, along with the rest of the food we ordered – spaghetti and meatballs, a platter, which I don’t remember what it was called, but it had four different kinds of pasta, and broccoli. It was all fantastic. The last time we were at this particular restaurant was for my husband’s 40th surprise birthday party. He just turned 60. We’re not going to wait another 20 years to come to this restaurant, as it was a wonderful Italian meal.

    We've been coming here for years. Nick was great and although he was busy, he made sure to check on us. Fried mozzarella is a great appetizer. Penne San Remo was flavorful and had ample protein. However the fettuccine Alfredo was a disappointment. It didn't have much sauce, flavor and barely any chicken. Their "small" is large enough for 4 or more to share as we had ample leftovers. Overall, with good service from hosts, Nick and rest of staff, it was a good dining experience.

    As we got there they took us to our table through the kitchen to a dark stuffy room. Then when we looked at menu, we couldn’t believe the prices. A regular salad $30 and the cheapest food for $34. When the food came very low quality of food. The service was okay. That was our first and last visit to this place.
