Reviews
The building is non-desctip on a main street in Hollywood. Our relatives who live there realized they had driven by more times than they can count and hadn’t noticed it.
The owners came over and talked to us, so nice.
We ordered a bunch of food- and ate to much!
Appetizer was stuffed mushrooms. Never had any like it, heavy on bread crumbs I think parmeson and garlic. Anyway really good.
They brought out the garlic parmeson rolls soon after. Those are worth the visit. Soft, hot, rolls sitting in garlic olive oil with parmeson sprinkled on top. Amazing!
I was told to order chicken Marsala. I added a cup of pasta figoli (sp?) Soup. It was a white bean soup with pasta. I think olive garden tries to do this, but this tasted homemade and would be amazing on a snow day up north.
I added Fettuccine Alfredo for an up charge rather than the pasta in red sauce they normally serve. Great choice. Great homemade flavor too.
Lots aof parmeson too- so good.
The chicken Marsala was excellent. This is not a negative critique- but the wine they use for the sauce was a little sweet for me. Overall was a great dish and anyone ordering would be happy with it.
We had two lasagna s and stuffed shells. All phenomenal- full of ricotta cheese and once again tasted homemade. So good.
The kicker was the pizza. Omg! Phenomenal! Next time I am in town we will be getting pizza here. Some of the best NY crust I’ve had. Big foldable pieces with great sauce cheese and toppings. Crispy crust without being chewy. So good!
One thing I noticed was the obvious regulars coming in who had moved south from the north east. It is clear they liked the home cooking.
Awesome job and great place!
Highly recommend: fried ravioli to start, and lasagna as your main entree. The flavors in each were fantastic.
The eggplant parmesan was good but the side of pasta it came with was just ok- the sauce on it was pretty bland.
First off, the food is good (not great) and the atmosphere reminds me of the Italian place down the street from my house where I grew up. Laid back, local friendly, solid Italian-American fare.
However, when my bill came, I was shocked to see the total much higher than I expected based on the menu prices. Looking more closely, I saw that they included a “Custom Amount” which was equivalent to a 34% tip as a line item on my bill, along with the actual food I ordered. That is roughly double a standard tip, and there is no option to decline. If it was mentioned on the menu, it was fine print that I didn’t see, and you won’t either.
Then, as if that weren’t bad enough, the receipt declared the amount including that giant automatic tip as “Pre tip amount”, and then asked for another tip, suggesting 18-22%.
Miami restaurants are infamous for trying to get double tips, but this was a level of brazen dishonesty that I had never seen. I’m not sure it’s even legal. They deserve to be called out for this.
