First time there but what we had was excellent. Spaghetti and Italian sausage, and lots of sauce cooked to perfection. My wife’s Chicken Parmesan was just as good. We didn’t leave room for the garlic cheese pizza that came with each meal, but we made just enough space for coconut bread pudding. That was a warm, square of goodness in a not overly sweet rum sauce covered in almond and coconut shavings. Very very good. Definitely going to return to this place.

Love the food here. Thier house dressing for salads is kick butt good. I have to be honest I don’t care for the meatballs. Hard as a rock n no flavor. . Also I would love a piece of French bread n garlic spread. That thing that looks like a small pizza is not bread to me n taste no garlic on it. But it’s worth the trip. Helping our local business is the key.. Try it. Yummy.

Had never tried this place but hear many good things. The food was as good but not what I expected. Manicotti was on the menu which not many places still have in the menu. The Manicotti was stuffed shells. Very disappointing, had a Artichoke appetizer and it was very dry.
