Been wanting to try this establishment for quite some time. Never had the chance or always a reason to put it off. Went tonight for birthday dinner and now I am so sorry we put it off for so long. One of the best meals I have had in this area in a while. Fast courteous service, no problems making kids food, on top of everything. Highly recommended.

Food was great. Staff was friendly. The appetizers we a little light in my opinion. The fried calamari was a little light in our opinion and should have had a lot more.

We called and they stayed open late for Ross’s birthday. Julie (100% five star service) recommended we start with the clams and the fresh made that day pasta. Both were off the charts amazing. Our group had the chicken, veal and Bronzino and the fish was some of the best I have ever tasted.

What a wonderful authentic Sicilian (not traditional Italian) dining experience. We were 3 for dinner and all ordered different meals. The drinks and appetizers were prompt and tasty. Each meal was well prepared and presented. Servers were polite and attentive. The price was more than fair for the quality and experience.

Our favorite Italian restaurant This is where we go to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries etc. I have never had a bad meal at this restaurant. Their special homemade Napoleon is something you cannot pass up. It is beyond delicious

Delicious food at reasonable prices. My wife and I dined outdoors and although it was a little cold, we had a great meal. The salmon and the halibut were perfectly cooked and steaming hot. I took off a star for our confused waiter. He seemed overwhelmed and brought us the check without even offering us dessert. The owner or manager (not sure) was very friendly and accommodating. He greeted every customer and was going from table to table making sure everyone was satisfied. We will be coming back after Covid to dine indoors.

What’s all the hype about?? We THOUGHT we were going to enjoy a 5-star dinner for our anniversary, but instead we received 2-star food quality. The owner greeted and seated us, which was nice, but the waitress was pushy for us to order tons of food. My pasta dish was fishy smelling and tasting and my fiance’s Pesto Pasta was over-flavored and sticky. We left our table hungry, dissatisfied and $70 poorer for 2 bowls of pasta and 2 salads. Keep driving and hit the local pizza restaurant instead of wasting your resources here.

Always good experience. Last time was a bit loud, all tables were taken, which is great news for the restaurant business, but some people don’t have consideration for others. Just screaming their heads out.
