7/23/25: Decided to cater this time, they seem to be the only Italian place that caters and is open on Monday’s. I really needed a Monday. They were prompt, the food was delicious, everyone loved everything! Thank you so much!
Old review: Really good fresh food. Friendly service. Clean inside and they have a convenient drive through. They play italian music which is pretty awesome. I really like the hours. Opens early and closes late.
Highly recommend.

I was just there for the first time on Saturday for a party. The food was excellent! I had chicken parmesan and Italian beef. They really won me over when they had Diet Dr. Pepper on tap!!
It’s a family owned restaurant which I love to patronize. Very nice but casual vibe. DEFINITELY coming back!

This place was delicious and very reasonably priced! We ordered 5 things and paid around $30 and had a second meal plus of leftovers! Loved the rice balls and Verona salad. Pizza is a huge slice and very good, sandwich and eggplant roll-ups all were very good!! Everything tasted so delicious and fresh! Can’t wait to go back and try their gelato and pasta!
Very good service- order at counter but great service to table- went out of their way to accommodate us!

First time trying this restaurant- I will DEFINITELY be back. Prices are very, very reasonable for the quality and portion of authentic Italian dishes they serve. Generous portions, homemade sauces and pasta, and a huge selection of choices. I tried the cheese ravioli with vodka sauce and 2 meatballs- food came out quickly, piping hot, and everyone else with me loved their dishes as well: grilled panini, calzone, baked manicotti “to die for” and the chicken Avanti was “outstanding and fresh”. Service was prompt and friendly- great to find a small family owned business that does everything so well!!!

We highly recommend

My all time favorite Italian Cafe Restaurant in the burbs hands down. Best homemade pastas and living in Sicily, their Arancini’s sure hit home. They serve delicious Gelato, Italian beers and fine wines as well! I always get their bow tie pasta with a side of meat all or Bolagnese with a bottle of red wine!

This is a lovely cafe with authentic italian food. Variety of choices and the portion sizes are huge. Everything we tried was scrumptious. Our server Katie was very nice and humble, she suggested few things and we tried them and all her suggestions were perfect (specially rice balls)
Even the side of soup that comes with pasta is huge enough to fill u up. Paninis pasta soup salad breads everything was just wow.
We went there coz of a groupon coupon we have but did not expect the place to be so good.
I will go again for sure to try the coffee n other stuff.
Please try this place

Casual Cafe atmosphere with amazing food that is better than most Italian restaurants with tablecloths. The pasta is homemade, and the vodka sauce is the best around. Have a cannoli, you won’t regret it.
