Hey all you NYC snobs this Englewood Italian has better food than 90% of the Italians in NYC and much, much better service and atmosphere. Rent a car and come out here to this very traditional and amazingly delicious Italian with the most incredibly nice host and attentive, professional, friendly staff you will ever find. The menu and specials were amazing, we ended up with the seafood pasta and a veal-eggplant parm dish that was incredibly delicious. Loved everything about it.

Excellent service and very delicious food. We had the scallops, swordfish (a special), and pasta. Everything was super fresh and cooked to perfection. We will be coming back for sure!

Hadn’t been here in years! Ate at an outside table, but you didn’t feel hot. The food was delicious and just right! It was mid afternoon so there was no crowd and service was attentive.

An amazing Italian restaurant that has a superb lunch special. It comes with appetizers, your choice of salad or soup of the day, entree, and a fruit platter for dessert. The seafood linguini was authentic and cooked well, and overall the restaurant had a cozy yet lively atmosphere to it.

When the reservation was made my husband mentioned it was his wife’s birthday. When we arrived we were seated without acknowledging our reservation, so obviously they didn’t know it was my birthday. Service was ok, food just ok, nothing really to make note of with the exception that neither dish came out piping hot. We ordered coffees and dessert, and of course nothing special was done since they didn’t know it was a birthday celebration. We’ve been to this restaurant many times in years past but don’t think we’ll be going back.

A very authentic center Italian experience… highly recommended not only because of the food (which is great!) but also because of the service and relaxed atmosphere, particularly if you are dining indoors
