★★★★★ 5.0 Bad Juju · Feb 2026

Great food, family business. Service can be hit or miss, I think like a lot of restaurants these days they are short staffed. We sat at the bar, and there was often only one bartender during a busy time. We’ve had the meatball app, stuffed mushroom app and the linguine with clams and white sauce all delish, pasta was cooked to perfect al dente. The ciabatta bread and garlic oil is delicious!

★★★★★ 5.0 Mel K. · Nov 2025

What a neat dining experience! The restaurant is set up like you are on the streets of Italy. I highly recommend the meatballs! Everything was delicious! We barely touched our main course. Lots to eat for later... fine by me, I could eat it every day! Also wanted to add that the Sweet Tea was fresh!

★★★★★ 5.0 Sly Rob · Sep 2025

Went there today for their $10 lunch specials. It was delicious. I had the eggplant. It was great! Crispy & flavorful. Hubby had the pasta and meatball which he loved as well. They started us with bread and garlic olive oil. Jake was our server and he was fabulous. Super friendly and very attentive!

★★★★★ 5.0 Emeric Szalay · Dec 2025

What a pleasant surprise. Lunch was not only delicious but inexpensive. Dawn our waitress was fun and engaging. She explained the choices and refilled drinks before they were empty. We will be back for sure.

★★★★★ 5.0 Cindy Lou · Nov 2025

So pleasantly surprised by this fabulous restaurant. The creative NYC decor invites you from the entrance and follows you throughout the details of every corner. The food was authentic and flavorful from the unique app variety, to home made pasta, to the freshly made dessert. Rebecca was a wonderful server. We will definitely be back again!
