“ My family have been coming here for over 30 years (the original location previously) and have loved to see some of the same staff make the move! Every time I come I always get the spaghetti and meatballs and request a blush sauce (a mix of marinara and alfredo sauce.) If you haven’t tried the blush sauce ask for it! Oh, and I can’t forget to mention the creamy Italian dressing that is so delicious that I have even poured it on my spaghetti before! 5 times 30 years! ”
“ Amazing. Food was awesome. I had the fettuccine and it was superb. The service was amazing and the staff could not have been more friendly. For desert we had tiramisu and pistachio cake. Both were light and airy and had wonderful flavors. Will be back again. ”
“ Overall, my experience here was spectacular. The restaurant looks really nice and clean. It is a very ornate Italian theme. The service was extremely good. Our server was very pleasant and helpful. My wife and I went. She got cannelloni and I got ravioli. I don't recall seeing on the menu that breadsticks and soup or Salad were included. But they definitely are. The pasta with excellent. The pasta sauce was absolutely amazing. Extremely robust and flavorful. We got two orders of Meatballs to go along with it. They were sensational. I got minestrone soup and it was good. My wife's got potato soup and it was miserable. Hahaha. It needed salt and pepper for sure, lots of it too. Overall, I was extremely pleased with this place. I will definitely go back again. ”
“ This restaurant is ABSOLUTELY delicious! Hands down the best Italian food around...there spinach dip is a little bit of heaven Definitely will be returning! ”
“ This place is such an amazing find! No gatekeeping here!!! From start to finish everything was so yummy! Our server was amazing as well. We ordered the artichoke dip for an appetizer and so delicious. We ordered the Alfredo with shrimp and the manicotti (our server asked the kitchen if they could do both the beef and the cheese one for my husband as he was torn between the two) and he said they were both great. We finished with the cannolis and tiramisu and again, so delicious. Very pleased with this place, 10/10. ”
“ January 2024 Update: This restaurant is among one of my favorites for Italian food, friendly staff and atmosphere. Most recently, my fiance' Nancy finally chose a date for our wedding, with just 6 weeks to plan the entire event. Our waitress Layla told us about the adjacent Elks' Lodge banquet hall which is part of the same building as the restaurant and that the room had some dates available the challenge in finding a wedding and reception venue became a no-brainer. We booked the hall for New Year's Eve and the hall looked beautiful (see pictures included). We had around 60 guests and had the ceremony and reception including dinner, right there which made it super convenient for everyone. Layla worked with Nancy and I to make our wedding both special, and seamless. Everything from the wedding, reception and dinner went off with zero issues. I highly recommend this venue for both casual dining and special events, like our wedding! Previous Posting Below A favorite local restaurant with a classic Italian menu. The food, service, and atmosphere are always kept to a high standard. Price for dinner for two with drinks and dessert is around 65 with plenty of leftovers. ”
“ If your looking for a relaxing night out this is the place. Service was fantastic they were very busy and still worked there way to us. Food was great it came out looking like a picture. Will be going back. The fried ravioli with jalapenos and the marinara salsa was a great way to start. ”
