We ordered the house salad, chicken parmasean, and a calzone. All were AMAZING! The marinara is the best! I highly recommend this place. You definitely won’t regret it!

Quick service, greeted with a smile and they did follow up a few different times which was nice. We shared the garlic cheese bread and it was so yummy, crunchy with melty cheese. I got the pasta fagioli soup that I paired with that cheese bread and it was perfect. My friend got the Napoletana pizza and that was also very good, juicy tomatoes on top, very fresh. Will be returning.

Great little deli-style, Italian restaurant. Featured on Guy Fieri’s “Dinners, Drive-Ins, and Dives”. This is our second time here. For this trip, we had the chicken parmigiana and the meatball subs. Their red sauce is excellent. The sub rolls are the perfect consistency – soft on the inside with a slight chew on the outside. (Always gets an extra side of sauce for dipping). The chicken parmigiana portion was large, came with a side of bread, and pasta. Small establishment with some inside and outside seating. Large menu selection of entrees, pizza, calzones, salad. Everything you’d expect from a mom and pop pizza restaurant. A must stop.

Generous portions, good flavor, and they will accommodate your request if they are able. For example, I didn’t see spinach lasagne on the menu, but they made it for me, and it was very good.

I decided to check out the place, friends had recommended it. Since I work in deliveries, I don’t have much time and was going to eat on the go. I chose two slices of pizza.

We had lunch here while on the way home from San Diego. My husband and daughter ordered Calzone, which were huge and tasted good. I had the home made ravioli, which were a disappointment – the pasta was rubbery and one raviolo had a hole so pasta water came oozing out and diluted the sauce. My side salad for $4.50 turned out to be 95% chopped lettuce and carrots, plus 2 lonely cherry tomatoes, a thin slice of green pepper and one ring of red onion, all doused in copious amounts of vinegar.

Best customer service ever ! Came in and got a delicious pizza and some garlic bread, we meet the sweetest worker who came to check in on us often and made sure we were good. Kayley made our dinner 10x better with her attitude and great service.

Great little hole in the wall! I had penne pasta with beef and pork, as well as spinach lasagna with meat sauce. They were so fresh! I could taste the tomatoes and garlic in the meat sauce. The cannoly was also fresh. The salad was excellent, especially the dressing. While I was eating dinner, I noticed the line, which was constant for a good reason. The food here is pretty good.
