Amazing food as always! Great atmosphere and service. Our daughter was visiting and we were able to take her with us – she has a severe soy allergy, and eating out is usually problematic. A quick phonecall and a last minute booking and we were there!

This restaurant has been here 42 years and has been the same owners and family. Now the daughter and son in law are continuing the tradition of this place. Food is authentic and amazing and so are the servers and staff. The atmosphere is intimate and calming. Everything is beautiful and delicious! Everyone should try it! They even do take out and it’s always presented nicely and delicious! I love it there!

Had the lasagna it was very good and a generous portion. Had added meatballs to one order and Italian sausage to the other order to sample. The sausage seamed a little old and dry. The meatballs were very good, but I’m not sure either one was worth a $4.00 (each) up charge. The salad was cold crispy and fresh with a very tasty house dressing.(Caesar) but was disappointed in the portion, which the plate was about the size of a saucer. The bread that came with the meal was warm and fresh. They have a fair selection of beer and wine. I had a yuengling flight, it was ice cold. This place looks a little rough on the outside with limited parking, but it was a cozy atmosphere on the inside with interesting memorabilia. They have entertainment set up, but no one preformed the night I was there. I will be back for more good Italian food?

First things first, aesthetically speaking, absolutely adorable. It feels like going into my Italian grandpa’s wine cellar/hideaway. We had a large group and were sat at the party table, placed in the loft of the restaurant. Cozy, for sure, although, it is quite dim lit, in the room we were sat in, almost dark. I hesitate to mention that there are photos of Donald Trump on the wall, which was off-putting to our group. Our server, Michelle, was very sweet & attentive, great service. Now, on to the food. The noodles are handmade delights. Perfect texture, not too soft, not too firm. The sauces were very disappointing, along with the lousy, soggy bread, and lackluster salad. If you like sauce very basically flavored, you may find it to suit you. Another thing it pains me to mention; the pepper dispensers/shakers really needed to be cleaned, they were all terribly filthy. I’ll likely give them another try (if someone else is paying). I do think we should all continue supporting local restaurants.

We waited a very long time for our food and When asked how our food was we said it was not so great. The server went on to say how the cook was no good. She asked if we wanted to speak with the chef he’s also the owner. We said yes. We told the chef our food was very bad. Some words were exchanged and this man actually yelled at my whole family to get out of his restaurant! It was shocking I have never experienced anything like it.

one of the worst restaurant experiences i’ve ever had, not to mention it was my partners birthday dinner. we were seated in a terrible area, which i understand and can get past but was disappointing as we wanted to see the singers. the salads were awful, as was the appetizer spread we ordered. after sitting there for an hour and 15 minutes the waitress came up and told us she forgot to put our orders in. they comped us both a glass of wine which was nice. then , another half hour later she came out with a meal i did not order and offered to “comp” that one too while they made me what i had ordered.. and then questioned why i wasn’t eating the wrong one they brought out. finally just asked her to box up everything because after over 2 hours of sitting in a tiny corner we were ready to go. unfortunately as well, the food was horrible. paid over $60 to throw it straight in the trash. really really disappointing

Small romantic candle lit restaurant with a great atmosphere. The waitress was personal and the food was fairly quick. You can certainly tell the noodles were homemade and fresh. The wine reccomend was paired wonderfully. The portions appeared to be smaller but was enough to fill us up. The prefer you make a reservation here.

It’s been too long since we’ve been back but our family shares MANY fond memories of dinners here, family celebrations, and spending time with our friend Alex. We live in SC now but I was pleased to see the restaurant is still going. Warmest greetings to Alex, Elizabeth, Alexandra, Elizabeth and Rocco.

Service was ok. But the food sucked! The salad was like a handful of lettuce sprinkled over a plate with a few little croutons. The pasta was hard in some parts and soft in others. The chicken was SO SO dry. I’ve had chicken jerky that was more moist than this. Just a horrible over all. The best thing out of it was a lesson learned.
