THE BEST PASTA I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE the rattlesnake pasta. wonderful spicy flavor (but not too spicy) with perfectly cooked veggies and crunchy bread to accompany it. Service was amazing. Young lady with dark hair served us on the outside patio. Had bruschetta for an appetizer and the flavors were exquisite! Let the pictures speak for themselves. Also this is so good I’m probably going to eat it again tonight.

The food is great, but they forgot to put chicken in my pasta. Our server was really nice. It seemed to be a trend that anyone sitting outside would have to wait a long time to get their check and pay (10-15 minutes). Everyone inside eating was getting fast service and food. Although the food was great, I just don’t think I can come back and spend so much time at a restaurant that wasn’t really packed.

Food is prepared in-house which is great. Customer service is wonderful. The small quiet atmosphere is what’s needed when you want to have a conversation with your table. Ok did I say the food is good? Please get the toasted ravioli.

Wow! Authentic Italian food, with a definite focus on individual customer service. The staff were attentive and friendly, the food was amazing… their fried cheese ravioli is probably my favorite. Definitely will be coming back, and as a bonus this place is a PokeStop.

Service was awful – male waiter was disappearing for cigarette breaks – it was fifteen minutes until he even took my drink order. Pasta was overcooked in the spaghetti and meatballs, there was water on the plate from separation in the sauce. My friend ordered the salmon, which came with zucchini instead of potatoes, as the menu said. Super disappointing! Not worth going back; there are many other Italian places that value their customers and serve a fantastic plate of food.

The baked spaghetti was outstanding!

Very nice atmosphere, very friendly wait staff. Food was ok. “French” onion soup had no cheese or croutons so it was really just onion soup. Rattlesnake pasta had a good flavor but after three or four bites my mouth was numb from the hot sauce and couldn’t really taste it anymore. The shredded cheese inside of the lasagna was unmelted. Chocolate cake was obviously premade and frozen, not made in house.

Best. Meatballs. Ever.

The waiter was rude and somewhat aggressive. He continued his behavior after I said something. There is no need to speak that loud. You should never touch patrons (unless you’re giving the Heimlich!) Two of the waitstaff actually laughed about my waiter’s behavior, standing right within hearing range. I guess they’re being paid to stand around and gossip about patrons.
