Italian staples, including chicken parmesan & spaghetti bolognese, served in a casual setting.

I know many people love this place and we used to frequent Steffano’s. So I was craving manicotti and decided to give them a try. They describe their manicotti as beef filled and made in house sauce. It is NOT manicotti. It is two ground beef filled torteas with sauce that may have been combined in house from some #10 cans of sauce and some old dried spices. Served with a side of over baked, over seasoned bread with a side of heavy olive oil sludge they call authentic seasoned oil. Sorry guys not any where near authentic on any front. I have some pics if I can figure out how to add them. Zero stars if I could.

WOW- I was truly blown away at how amazing the food was, best Italian food I ever had ever had by far. They seriously make Olive Garden look like a joke, and I used to say Olive Garden was my favorite restaurant . If you love pasta, you have to try this place, you will taste the difference! I recently got diagnosed with Celiac, and have really been missing pasta, so it was a pleasant surprise to see they not only offer gluten free pasta, but also bread! And it was truly incredible. And the whole staff was extremely friendly, kind, and helpful. Can’t say enough great things- definitely is my new favorite restaurant!

Second visit here, and it confirmed I won’t be back.
The chicken parmesan was a total miss — a soupy pile of noodles drowning in sauce and cheese, filled with what looked (and tasted) like pre-made, char-grilled chicken strips. The kind you buy pre-cooked in a bag. That’s not chicken parm. Where’s the breaded, fried, crispy chicken? This was basically “pasta casserole with processed chicken,” and it tasted like disappointment.
Then, the ambiance: staff started mopping the floors right next to our table with a bucket of Pine-Sol / floor cleaner. Not a subtle “freshly cleaned” vibe — a full-on chemical fog. Nothing like Eau de Floor Cleaner to really bring out the notes of the house red. I’ve had wine pairings before, but never “bleachy citrus mop water.”
And the bill: two people, $65… until the receipt came back at $68 thanks to a card fee that wasn’t clearly posted anywhere you’d actually notice before ordering. I paid with a debit card, yet still got hit with a “credit card” fee — which makes no sense and feels shady.
Food lands somewhere between mediocre and barely okay, but the overall experience was unpleasant from start to finish. Not the worst meal ever, but absolutely not a place I’d think of for dinner again — unless I show up wearing a gas mask and paying in exact change.

This is a hidden gem! Wow. The Italian garlic bread is made fresh and very very good! Wow. This small place seems very Italian on the inside … Very popular for family groups. It has a cute little bar. I remember when this first opened years ago … And now how it has flourished to what it is today. I came to purchase a gift certificate …and stayed to order a to go order and sip wine and nibble their famous Italian bread and oil while waiting. Just soaking in the moment of the sounds and smells … It was fun and relaxing. Very homey feel. This is a must on your list to visit. VERY reasonably priced!

First timers at this cute italian restaurant ♡ but we will be back! I wasn’t sure which location to choose but I called (didn’t need reservations for 2 on a Friday night, but maybe for anything larger) and this is the one owned by the Italian brothers and from the reviews I decided we would try it for my boyfriends Joe’s birthday, so fitting 😉 It’s small but adorable atmosphere with pictures of Italy, France, boats etc. bottles of wine, grapevines on the walls, Italian themed. The food was delicious!!! We just got back from Italy and this was so flavorful. I think our server was the owner, he offered us a glass of wine after dinner, which I would have loved to try but wasn’t drinking. The offer was generous and thoughtful. We got the sausage appetizer, Mediterranean salad, lobster ravioli, and Giuseppe special. The bread and oil to start was so fresh and soft we could have filled up on that. Perfect portions. We were so happy & full! The server boxed my food, and we took the tiramisu and cannoili home for dessert. Over all, great experience! Was perfect for what I was going for! I highly recommend this hidden gem!

I had my first experience here on Saturday. I had heard a lot of good things and everyone I know telling us to go. My partner and I celebrated one year anniversary. We didn’t have a reservation, so we waited for a seat. It only took 20mins to get a seat. We recieved water and bread upon being seated. The menu has so many choices to choose from. I got the chefs special which was chicken&shrimp, with cheese tortellini, roasted red peppers, spinach with garlic cream sauce. It was beyond my expectations. As a foodie the flavors were on point. Truly amazing food. It came out quickly, piping hot. It was so filling had pretty big portions. We will be coming back, recommending to others. The staff was very attentive and ensured dinners were pleased. I can’t say it enough if you need somewhere to eat that’s delicious and affordable drop by and check them out. Thank y’all for a wonderful experience.

The bread was good. We ordered the house salad with house dressing. The salad was good but we expected Italian dressing not ranch which tasted store bought. Two different pasta entrees were ordered and both had chicken in them, the chicken seemed to be processed meat. The house made Sangria was terrible, it was sweet, tasted like grape juice with probably the same amount of alcohol content as juice.

Absolutely loved this restaurant. First time there and the service was excellent. Staff was so friendly and hospitable. They went out of their way to make us comfortable and welcome. Food was out of this world. And the bread and oil at this beginning was fabulous! Can’t say enough good about it! Will be back!

We were made to feel at home as soon as we walked in. The place is warm & cozy. Every staff member we met was helpful & friendly. The steaming bread & olive oil was a special treat. My garden salad (which fed our table of 3) was fresh & delicious! All of our entrées were served piping hot. Plan to spend some time here! Service & food were excellent! This is an event! Something not to be rushed.

I’ve eaten here or to go probably 40 times, and the food is good. But the service is terrible. Today I ordered a chicken ceaser salad, dressing on the side, extra bread (the bread is 10/10!) at 11:15. They told me to pick it up at 11:45. Got thee on time and had to wait til 12. They finally brought it out. No bread. Then I asked about the dressing on the side. Oh sorry, we didn’t do that. But we can remake it if we have to. What I heard was, if you wait another 45 minutes, we’ll redo it for full price. Honestly, this was one of the best orders I’ve had with them. Usually it’s worse. Bottom line, food is good, but keep your expectations very very low.
