    Wonderful family atmosphere! We were a table of 6 with two small children. They brought drinks and appetizers for the children which helped keep them occupied while we looked at the menu. Fantastic food and service throughout the meal! The owner came over to say hello! We felt like family! I would highly recommend this restaurant!

    What a wonderful dining experience! The food was excellent and at a satisfactory price. The friendliness of the staff was apparent from the moment we arrived until we left, having enjoyed a very pleasant meal. Yes, the noise level was high, but that's typical for a Saturday evening. We'll certainly be back.

    Husband & I hadn’t visited this family owned restaurant in years. Restaurant was packed with a large group in the party room plus all the tables were full. Make a reservation. The Italian wedding soup was good-could have used more little meatballs. Husband had spaghetti with meatballs-did not finish his meal-said sauce was very heavy. The lemon glaze on my Lemon chicken dinner was overpowering-masked the breaded chicken. Service was fine-not enough servers. Even kitchen staff brought food to the tables. Very noisy. Will probably visit for lunch vs dinner.

    Excellent meal — fish lunch special was delicious and you can’t bear the cassata cake. Service always pleasant and personable.
