Fresh food, good flavors, exceptional and very attentive service! Good portions. I’m 2nd generation Italian so I’m always looking for the flavors I grew up tasting, they came close. See photos of our choices. Calamari was lightly battered and very soft, not chewy like most places. Eggplant was baked, thinly sliced and not greasy. Other dinners were tasty too. We got a free three piece mini pizza appetizer so that was a nice surprise. Very nice atmosphere.

Small Italian restaurant in a strip mall. Parking is difficult, but worth the trip for the Southern Italian food. Well done, nice portions, reasonably priced, decent wine selection.
