Everything I’ve had to eat here has been excellent. Great atmosphere, and the service—honestly some of the best in the East. Don’t leave without trying their ‘crack bread.’ I’m telling you, you’ll be back for more! 😂🍞✨

★★★★★ 5.0 Bill Simmons · Jan 2026

Went last night for the first time. Me, my wife and 3 teens. We randomly picked a spot an hour from home and landed here. Walking in we were a little suspect as it seemed like "just a bar". Grateful to say we were wrong in that assessment. Waitress was attentive and impressed us all by not using a note pad (not a thing missed or wrong). We all more than enjoyed our dishes ( and the teens are tough critics). Was an A+ experience and we plan on making the trip again as it was well worth it! Music was an added bonus! How this place wasnt packed on a Friday night at 6pm is beyond me. Ya'll are missing out!

Went to see Brian MacDonald play. He's there every Friday 5-8. Got a chicken Caesar wrap and fries. Was pretty good. Definitely above average. Beers seem pricey....$8.50 per.... I'm from PA. Service was great. Super friendly waitstaff. Definitely would go again especially to see Brian MacDonald.

5/5 Stars in every category! Asceria is the best. Carmine, the owner is one of the best people you’ll ever meet! Everyone is awesome. Whether they’re a guest or employee. I love this place. Tuesdays during open mic are always fun.

★★★★★ 5.0 Bobby Evans · Oct 2025

The food is spectacular. I had steak tacos and wings. Both were absolutely delicious. The bartender was attentive and kind. The music was great. The owner is an awesome guy and he shreds on the guitar! Fun place with awesome food. Thanks guys!
