Disappointing. Ordered delivery of the Puttanesca and the Spaghetti with meat sauce and meatballs. Disappointing as the reviews were very good. Meat sauce was not rich, more marinara style, Caesar salad was tasteless and very limp as if it had been made a couple of days ago. Even delivered, it should not be this limp. Hate to give such a review but I couldn’t find a contact email.

Way over priced at around $34 plus a surcharge for veal. Small portions and the pasta seemed like it came out of a box. No sauce on the pasta, and watery mushroom sauce on the meat. I don’t understand the high ratings. Great service though. Try somewhere else.

Family took us there for lunch. The food was really good, but the zucchini fries were exceptional. Ordered as an appetizer for 5 adults and there was plenty, although they were so good, I think any one of us would have happily eaten the entire order. One person on a walker, so had to go up 3/4 stairs but they had good railings and it was manageable. You know you are in an authentic Italian eatery when the entire front patio has grape vines that were covered in concord grapes and there were tomatoes ripening on the window ledge.

The Brushetta, zucchini fries, and both dishes we had were excellent. I personally had a penne dish with rose sauce and was very happy with it! The desert was good. I had the lemon sorbet, i believe, very tart! Service was great and quick! We loved the candle in the middle of the table, perfect ambiance for a date night ❤️✨️

Been wanting to try this place for a while as it’s known for its chicken parmigiana. So a couple of things – the food was fantastic! Absolutely wonderful (see picts).

The downside is the restaurant itself. For the price you’re paying you would expect a better atmosphere. The tables were wobbly, the chairs were uncomfortable and it has a bit of a diner type of vibe.

I can see why this place has been open for many years (the food!) but I think it’s definitely time they renovate and give their dining room a face lift. For this reason I wouldn’t come back; takeout sure! Dining in – not so much.
