These two Italian ladies ( originally from New York) had a fantastic dinner! The food was superb! Our server, Mike, couldn’t have been better. He was personable and professional! The owner, Stella, was so warm and welcoming! Give yourself a treat and plan a visit.

We had the chicken parm and eggplant parm– both were so delicious! They didn’t have a kids menu on mothers day but offered pasta with butter or red sauce for our daughter, which was perfect. They have their dessert options on a platter that they bring to the table so you can see exactly what you’re getting. The servings are HUGE but didn’t taste too heavy or overly sweet. Really nice place, unassuming from the outside and it was our first time, picked it off of Google Maps as we were passing through.

I have always seen this place out of the corner of my eye and thought I’d like to take my wife there for a date night. Well tonight it happened and boy oh boy did this place deliver. From start to finish we were given such amazing service. Mike was our waiter and he is an amazing guy. Mama who owns this place is an amazing woman who likes to come out and chat with the guests. All the food was freshly made from scratch and made with love. The atmosphere here is so peaceful and lends itself to an amazing dining experience. If you have not tried this place or are on the fence you need to hop off the fence and try food from this little slice of heaven. There you are treated like family and served not only with dinner but with love. I plan to have this become one of my regular date sites with my wife!!!

Very unwelcoming and unfriendly staff. We received no service while there including having the server turn around and walk away when I said we were ready to order. After waiting for him to reappear for 10 minutes, we just got up and left. Clearly, our business was unwelcome even though there were only about 5 other occupied tables and it was not busy at all.
