There were three of us on this occasion, and our entrees each came with a different sauce, picatta, Gorgonzola, and mushroom. I have not experienced better sauces anywhere. Service was prompt,with just the right amount of attention. Great meal, and a real neighborhood gem of a place.

It is a very small family run business. The food is inexpensive, DELICIOUS, and large portions (we usually share a meal). All the family works here, and it shows. Everyone is soooo friendly and they treat every customer as they are the only customer in the restaurant. We feel like we are part of the family by the time we leave. When it's full, it can be a little noisy, but we just felt like everyone was having fun with all the laughing going on. We have been back several times, and will continue to go back!
