Wheelchair accessible through back door. Use the bread to sop up every last bit of spaghetti sauce. Dessert: coconut cream pie and Love cake

On a Friday afternoon the place was packed, but our waitress Lexi was professional and cheerful. We ordered the veal parmesan, fried fish and chicken salad. All was very good and in generous portions. The bread is a great addition to the meal;)

Food was fine. Stuffed shells were good. The bread is good. The salads are good with house Italian dressing. Their sauce is great, with a little sweetness. Their meatballs are eh soso. Service is fine. Get sauce to go. I’ve been here more than a few times. The sauce is what makes it.

We ordered the veal and chicken parm, and both tasted the same. They have decided to stop cooking to sell pre-made cheap frozen processed food—absolutely no flavor. The meatballs are disgusting. It was 99% soy or other filler with absolutely nothing resembling meat. The bread rolls were either bought frozen and thawed, or They were so overworked when kneaded. Either way, they were too dense and hard. They have cashed in on the goodwill of the community gained through the hard work, sweat, and tears of their founder and traded the time-honored family recipes for some prepackaged garbage. Lena would be rolling in her grave if she knew how they have transformed a community-respected dinner into a frozen food microwavable, soy burger chicken meat glued mockery of a shell of a restaurant.

The food and service was really good! Felt bad for the waitress because she was the only one and it was super busy. Despite that she was super attentive and quick with orders and extra needs. Food was cooked well and tasted fresh and the bread was even better.

I have been going here all my life, and the sauce is out of this world. There is nothing else like it. Also, the meatballs are my favorite. Thanks for all the great cooking.
