Hands down the BEST PIZZA around the area! Very fresh and packed with lots of flavor. I believe the owners are Italian, and you can definitely taste it in the pizza! Whenever I am craving pizza, this is the place that I go, no matter what the price of the pizza is; it is definitely worth paying. I heard that every Tuesday they have a special on their pizza. You guys definitely have to check this place out.

We have drove by a few times and then we saw all the good reviews. We stopped in and had dinner there and everything was amazing. Best chicken parm I’ve had in a long time . The fried raviolis were awesome and you could tell they make them fresh. I definitely recommend them .

Delicious authentic Italian food. We had a large group and they were very accommodating. They do not have a lot of seating, but the 15 of us were able to get a private section. The bathroom is in that section, but that was not a problem.

The food was delicious. I ordered Shrimp Alfredo, but everyone enjoyed their food (pizza, veggie wrap, eggplant, and more). What was most enjoyable was the chef’s hospitality. He brought a dessert to our table that was authentic and told us the story behind the dessert. It was good as well. This was a great time with delicious food.

This is a fantastic tiny little freestanding authentic Italian restaurant run by a husband and wife team in the super quaint Maritime town of Cambridge. I’d like to say I discovered it myself, but actually I just googled best Italian restaurant near me and it came up. So everybody locally already knows it’s a great place. It’s a very fun cozy little restaurant to eat in. There are just two small rooms with nice wooden tables and beautiful casual Italian decorations with black and white checkered curtains and heavy natural wood tables. You can see the cooks cooking in the kitchen. They do a large carryout business also and that action is going on on the side. Our waitress Reese was super friendly and very skilled. She made great recommendations in terms of what to choose and also how to split it up. Obviously, we had a lot of leftovers and Reese very nicely wrapped them up for us in cardboard boxes and then a nice quilted carrying bag. The portions are absolutely enormous and she was very helpful in telling us how many people to split each dish with. The antipasto salad was delicious. The cheese and meats were rolled and sliced very thinly, which gave them a nice texture. The sweet pickled peppers were delicious on the antipasto. I ordered the eggplant rollatini which I have never even heard of. It was absolutely delicious. Eggplant rolled with ricotta, spinach, and mozzarella with a tomato sauce over it. My mother ordered the crab spaghetti which she said was delicious. My brother-in-law got the pasta classico with shrimp, which he loved. We shared a nice bottle of Chianti, and for dessert we had freshly made cannolis which were absolute perfection. So if you’re looking for a great place for a family meal or a nice romantic date, fairly casual and moderately priced, this is your place. I only wish it was in my home town .

We love this spot! This is where you go when you want old school Italian food that’s made with love. The pizza is always fresh (with a wide variety of by- the-slice options), the sandwiches are overflowing with goodness, the entrees are infinitely craveable (looking at you, lasagna…chicken parm…and piccata), and do yourself a favor and get a cannoli. The only difficult thing about eating here is deciding which delicious dish to get.

This family owned gem is delightful. The relaxed atmosphere reminded me of being at home except tonight I didn’t have to make dinner. The employees were smiling and friendly. The food portions are huge and delicious. The service was that off a high end restaurant without the pricing. I can’t wait to come again!!

This place is amazing! The Caprese salad was so fresh and tasty. I indulged in the fettuccine carbonara and was not disappointed. My husband had the chicken marsala and was blown away! Can’t wait to go back!!
P.s. We also enjoyed a delicious slice of Easter cake…

Quaint, homey feeling little restaurant with great food and service. Food was served hot, made to order, large portions and fast. The chicken marsala was great, nice sweeter wine was used and chicken was juicy. The fried ravioli was ok, fried well, just didn’t pop, but the sauce helped. The fresh garlic on the garlic bread was nice touch. Looks like it can get a little crowded since it’s a small place, so largest party I’d imagine fitting comfortably is 6 people. You’d have to split up into different tables beyond that. Service was great, people are nice and attentive. Would come again to try their other dishes.
