The place is clean, an the people are nice. Pianist plays 2 days a week in the evenings. Good wine with dinner. Fresh bread served. They also have great lunch specials.

Ordered chicken parm sub, was not good at all. Sauce tasted like straight out of can, chicken had no seasoning on it. Everything was bland.Did not even finish, gave other half to co worker, and he also was not impressed. Last visit there was good, had stuffed shells. This visit, not so good.

Gotta go on Thursday/ Friday for the piano music. Food is great. I personally love the salads. The fried scallops are soooo good. Hubs has loved all the pasta dishes he’s tried. Can’t wait to try the pizza.

I didn’t get to try anything because when I got there at about 850pm, the waitresses said they were closed. I said well google it says you are closed at 10pm on Saturdays, and she very non chalantly replied they’ve been closing at 9 since the pandemic and it needs to be fixed. Poor customer service in my opinion. If the hours have changed, please do your part as a business to make sure your hours reflect correctly. Not to mention there was a raggedy sign on the front door letting the customers know their entree prices went up $3 but nothing correcting the hours. Please do better! Better yet update your menus and hours, it would look more professional!

10 church ladies lunched here. Made reservation so they were expecting us. My meatball sub wasn’t as good as expected. The meatballs were too dense, for lack of s better word, and had no flavor. Bun good. Sauce and cheese good.

I hate to give a restaurant a bad review, but I need to speak up about this place. We had the most outrageous and unexplained wait times last night.

This restaurant is a little pricey but the portions are larger than most places. The food is good and our waitress, Cat, was very good and efficient. I wasn’t able to finish my veal parmesan so took it home and had it in a sandwich for breakfast.

Basic cheese pizza and Chicken park was over cooked. The owner/manager or whomever she was has the worst unnecessary attitude. How their still in business , I have no idea.
