Great little spot, first time here and would definitely recommend. Calamari was crispy and light, caprese fresh. We tried the rigatoni those mushrooms and we had the shells with broccoli milanase, this fresh lemony pasta and steak balanced the rich pasta.

This is real and legit Italian food - the way it should be made. Small intimate and very personal, if you want to eat real Italian cuisine, this is the place. Wine is well priced, the chef often serves you and you can sit inside or out. We must have eaten there more than 20 times and never had a bad experience. Cannot recommend enough. Back again 10/6/24 for another delicious meal and we were not disappointed. Prices still great - food and service amazing! In addition to the food on the bill, you get a free garden salad and a free Tiramisu to share.

I'm always on the look out for a great meatball sandwich. I found this place Doordashing & returned for a take out order a couple of weeks later. The restaurant is small but tastefully decorated. Also have a tented dining area out front too. Looking around I didn't get the impression it was dirty or unsanitary. The night I ordered was a Tues. & quiet along with all restaurants that night. I ordered a meatball sandwich. It came with a small fresh garden salad with tomatoes, onions, & cucumbers. Also perfectly cooked french fries. The sandwich was delicious! The bread was toasted, perfect amount of sauce. The meatballs were firm and tasty with melted cheese on top. My sandwich wasn't cold, nor did it get soggy. I could only finish half of it tonight. Each order comes with a complimentary dessert (who does that anymore)! I choose cheesecake for my boyfriend. All the way around I consider the meal a good value. The personnel were extremely friendly & made you feel comfortable. I'll be back & will refer others also. I'm suspicious of the multiple reviews with the low ratings & complaints of the area dangerous. There's homeless people everywhere these days. I didn't see anybody but if you're inside is unlikely they are going to bother you. Sorry I forgot to take pics until halfway through dinner!
